If the general election were held today instead of in early November, 54% of registered voters say they would back Obama, with 43% supporting former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, the front-runner in the GOP nomination battle. That's up from a five-point 51%-46% advantage the president held over Romney in February. CNN Poll: Obama leads Romney and Santorum in November showdowns – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs And a CNN/ORC International survey released Wednesday also indicates that the president's approval rating has inched over the 50% mark in CNN surveys for the first time since last May, when the polls were still registering the after effects of the death of Osama bin Laden. The number of Americans who say the economy's in good shape has jumped 13 points since January, though the survey shows a majority still think it is in poor shape. And Obama would have a 55%-42% lead over Santorum, the former senator from Pennsylvania who's Romney's main rival right now for the nomination. The president led Santorum by a seven-point 52%-45% margin last month. lets the conservative panic begin.......
It'll be a ten point lead by the time Romney is nominated and a 15 point lead going into November. Followed by a trouncing.
It's seriously..to early to tell either way. In an election like this..polls are going to flucuate wildy.
I expect that from a CNN poll. It's right out of media matters. After listening to obama announce that he intends to take us from expensive gas to no gas at all because he wants everyone to buy new cars and new homes that's what puts me in a panic.
