Obama - 51, Perry - 46; Obama - 51, Bachmann - 45

According to CNN's polling:

Mitt comes in at 48 to Obama's 49, and Rudy 9-11 oddly wins at 51 to Obama's 45, the only Republican to beat Obama in their match-ups.

1. Both close enough to steal, we are doomed. n/t

[n2doc]

2. the election is so far away as to render this meaningless n/t

4. it's true. people don't realize how crazy those two are, and once people who don't pay any

attention until May or June start hearing them and their crazy ideas, then they'll drop. Crazy only sells to 40% unless a depression occurs. I suppose that could allow a crazy candidate to sway people, but they have to be great at speaking their propaganda.



I am not worried about Obama losing - I'm worried about Obama not fighting all out against these crazies and defending the working class against the tyranny of the rich.

15. true

but I offer them as a snapshot of where things stand right now

3. " Rudy 9-11 oddly wins at 51 to Obama's 45"

13. Just goes to show how STUPID this polling is he couldn't even get the nomination

and he's out polling the President PLEASE!!!

5. I'm sure Reagan was well behind Carter at this time in 1979. NT

[ProSense]

6. 1975?

Didn't Jimmy Carter win the the Presidency in 1976?

[Hart2008]

7. And Reagan ran in '76 too. NT

[ProSense]

8. Well

if he was behind and lost, what's your point?

Or do you have one?

:rofl:

[Hart2008]

9. Polls are only a snapshot in time which do not actually predict a final result.

But some people are hooked on this kind of mental self-stimulation...

:silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:

[ProSense]

10. Yeah, editing the date

is a sign of intelligence. What about the other response

:rofl:

[Hart2008]

12. You are just silly now. NT

14. Rudy will never get the party vote, period.

[Yavin4]

16. A Perry/Guiliani Ticket?

That would be an interesting choice. Guiliani would help Perry a little in the NE.

[BeyondGeography]

17. Pretty good, for someone coming off the worst month of his presidency

[Ilsa]

18. That's for today. Anything can happen before Nov. 2012. nt

[ejbr]

19. Rudy told the repigs to stay out of the bedroom...hence he is not considered

that batshit crazy.

20. Nice Numbers

Too bad they don't mean anything, as the election is 15 months away.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

21. National popularity polls are fun to look at and provide some snapshot of how things stand

but it's only the state-by-state polls that matter come election time.

[RDANGELO]

22. One thing that sticks out to me.

Romney is in a dead heat with the President in the North East. I don't think that would hold up in the general election. HIs pro corporation attitude and anti unionism could be turned against him there.
