A major freak out is occurring on the right as a new poll released by a Republican polling company has found that 20% of Republicans are more likely to vote for Obama.

The poll done by Republican polling firm Wenzel Strategies for World Net Daily found something similar to my own recent analysis of state polling data that the 2012 election is beginning to look like a replay of 2008. The Wenzel/WND poll turned up the surprising statistic that no matter who the Republican nominee is, one fifth of the Republican voters surveyed are leaning towards voting for President Obama.

The only Republican candidate who doesn’t lose at least 20% of GOP voters to Obama is Ron Paul, and he loses 19%. The poll found that 54% of those surveyed believed that Obama had exceeded or lived up to their expectations, and 47% said that he had not. Sixty percent of Independents thought Obama has met or exceeded their expectations as did 52% of moderates. In the head to head match ups with all voters polled Obama leads Romney, 48%-41%, Gingrich, 50%-36%, and Santorum, 49%-34%. Ron Paul fares best against Obama and he trails the president, 44%-40%.

3. As I said in another thread, I think there is a conservative case to be made for Obama

And he is a more stable choice than Romney, Santorum, Gingrich, inc.

4. This is probably part of the reason voter turnout is so low in the primaries.

5. You can tell something is up

with the recent increase in culture, religion and race rhetoric coming from the
right. It's that feeling of inevitability.

6. How is he not above 50% if he gets 20% of (R)s?

You would think 55% would be a basement if he pulled that many (R)s over.

7. Offset by the Dems who think he isn't "liberal" enough. n/t

8. And, that is why Jeb Bush won't endorse anyone. n/t

9. Robert Anton Wilson nailed it, bless his heart...

"The only moral form of discrimination is that which places all the sensible people on one side of an issue and all of the stupid people on the other side." Or something quite close to that, and in the mouth of a fictional character, but close enough.
