Rasmussen Poll: Obama Holds Tiny Leads Over Perry, Bachmann And Loses To Romney
Rick Perry isn’t even in the race yet, or at least not officially, but he’s already within five points of Barack Obama in a head-to-head matchup.
So says Rasmussen Reports, which polled Perry, Michele Bachmann and Mitt Romney against Obama and found the president struggles to get more than 45 percent of the vote against any of the three.
Obama does best against Bachmann, whom he leads by a 46-39 margin. Against Perry, he leads by only 44-39. And against Romney Obama actually loses by a 43-42 margin.
An incumbent who gets between 42-46 percent against the three major challengers is a dead incumbent, electorally speaking. Any one of the three could beat him so long as the election becomes a referendum on the president’s fitness for re-election.
The real story, though, is Perry. He’s not even in the race yet. What happens to his numbers when he actually gets in?
Wait until economic report of the State of Texas for 2011 results come out. From all indications, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Ron Paul is running why isn’t he in this article…. or should I say “trash”.
Probably because Rasmussen didn’t use him in the poll. He is what we need in this country, but I don’t think he can win. Let’s put somebody in, anybody, who will beat OWEbama.
Disqus generic email templateBecause Ron Paul isn’t a serious candidate, that’s why.
The more that Ronulans sceam, shout and stamp their feet, the worse it make him look. Kind of how we view the parents of a two year old who throws a tantrum, pi$$ poor.
