Ron Paul Polls Strongest Against Obama

The NBC-Marist survey, conducted between November 27-29, shows Paul ties with Obama, 42-42. Current front runner Newt Gingrich loses to the president 47-37; Mitt Romney, who until recently was leading most polls, is also defeated, 46-39.

The survey shows that Paul has support outside of the GOP, which any Republican will need to score a victory in November next year. The political perspectives of those polled was almost evenly distributed, with 36-percent claiming Democrat, 35-percent Independent, and 28-percent Republican party affiliation.

Ron Paul leads Obama 42 to 35 percent among independent voters and attracts 15 percent of Iowa’s Democrats. Paul also leads Obama by 14 percentage points among voters under 45 years of age.

Additionally, 70-percent did not support or consider themselves to be members of the Tea Party, where Paul finds his strongest following.

If the attitude is really "anyone but Obama" then I don't see where there's much room to be so negative about Paul. So what if you don't like everything about him, he can beat Obama.

It's like this every election. Paul does better than anyone. He just can't win elections.

WTF are you talking about? Paul has never had support like this. He's never even come CLOSE to polling this well.

Ron Paul would obliterate Brobama in a general election. The primary is actually Paul's biggest hurdle but if he clears that, it's one and done for our current Commander in Thief.
