Santorum Matches Better Against Obama Than Romney Does

[JimBowie1958]

Rasmussen tracking poll shows Santorum within four of Obama « Hot Air

Remember the “electability” argument? Conservatives need Mitt Romney, the argument goes, in order to compete against Barack Obama in the general election. However, the latest Rasmussen tracking poll on head-to-head results shows Romney trailing Obama by ten points — while Rick Santorum comes within four:


In a potential Election 2012 matchup, the president attracts 50% of the vote and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney 40% (see tracking history). This is the largest lead the president has enjoyed against Romney in regular polling going back more than a year. It’s also the first time that the president has reached the 50% level of support against Romney.

Rick Santorum now trails the president by four percentage points, 46% to 42%. Rasmussen Reports will now be tracking the Obama-Santorum race on a daily basis. Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Last week, Santorum had a one-point advantage over Obama. However, like Rick Perry, Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich before him, Santorum was unable to sustain that advantage beyond a single poll.

In the crucial swing state of Ohio, Santorum is now even with the president. Romney trails by four. Democrat Sherrod Brown has a modest lead in the Ohio Senate race. Rasmussen Reports will release new data on the race for president in Florida at noon Eastern today.

Lol, There goes two of the last three arguments in favor of Romney over Santorum: he is not the best shot at bating Obama and that means he is no longer 'inevitable' as GOP consrvatives realize that they dont have to drop their principles to win this next election.

Now that Gingrich is toast beyond a reasonable doubt, I would like to shift my offer of a thousand dollar bet to Obama vs. Santorum.

I'll bet on Obama over Santorum for a thousand bucks, if Santorum gets the nomination.

Which of the Clowns said that President Obama was from South Africa?

Idiots.

On what planet? Oh, Rasmussen..

Santorum would be slaughtered. Romney has the only shot. I know a few disgusted 2008 Obama voters now saying PAUL, just to make a point.

 

[Lakhota]

Real Clear Politics average of polls has Obama +9.8 over Santorum. Obama ahead on all seven polls in the average - four by double digits.

[rdean]

You mean Rick "man on dog" Santorum?

 

[NYcarbineer]

Apparently Santorum made some comment today that jobs and the economy may not be the most important issues in this election,

implying that the social wedge issues might be.

He is nuttier than squirrel shit.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Oh and Noot warned Columbus Ohio that if we don't attack Iran, they'll be able to get a bomb into their city.

Columbus Ohio.

Perry said he doesn't want Obama to be our quarterback. Too dumb for words.

Read that they've had 11 different fave flavors in the last 8 months. Obviously, they're desperately floundering and flip-flopping and have no idea what to do to beat the president.

I'm gonna miss these numbnuts. They're actually kinda fun.
But hey, we have a few more months of their idiotic statements.

Many people still believe that the birth certificate, hospital records, newspaper announcement, and eyewitnesses are all part pf a conspiracy. Somehow Ann Dunham flew to Kenya, gave birth, and was back in Hawaii 48 hours later. All so her newborn son could run for President decades later. Talk about FORESIGHT.

I think all this birth control crap is to take attention away from the fact that not one of them has a "plan". If we're all fighting about non-issues, maybe we won't notice how incredibly incompetent they are.

OTOH, Santorum, says contraception "is not okay" and encourages bad behavior. Yep, he's crazy. Someone said he would be perfect for the 13th century. Maybe the GObP/repubs could give him a real job - National Peeping Tom.

 

[JimH52]

Santorum will ride the "Obama is out to end Religion wave" that the GOP has created for a while. The Dems are salivating over the prospects of the extreme Santorum being Obama's opponent. I still believe that Mitt will be the eventual nominee. If the Tea Party kidnaps the nomination with Santorum, the GOP will lose big time.

That's a crock. You had better hope that Santorum does not get this nomination because he doesn't have a snowballs chance in Haiiti of beating Barack Obama.

Santorum is way--way too far right on social issues to attract the female vote in this country. His stance on abortion--stating NO EXCEPTION for the victims of brutal rape and incest is beyond the pale. Even pro-life conservative women understand abortions in these circumstances.--and even they would vote against Santorum on these issues--meaning a landslide victory for Barack Obama.

Sarah Palin said it right: "I hope that they choose life"--but I also understand why a woman of a brutal--violent rape attack or a young girl that was sexually assaulted through incest would want an abortion.

Also Santorum's continual bashing of gays in this country in an offensive manner doesn't ring up any points for him. This idiot doesn't realize that there are many conservative republican households in this country who have family members or friends that are gay--and are just as offended by his continual offensive remarks as gays are.

Rick Santorum is one ANGRY NUT-CASE.

No, that is a poll. A poll that is just as valid as all the other polls done tenmonths out from the election...almost no real relevance at all except to prove that Santorum can do well on polls right now against Obama.

You had better hope that Santorum does not get this nomination because he doesn't have a snowballs chance in Haiiti of beating Barack Obama.

Yeah, like Reagan and Nixon and George W Bush had no chance....lol

Santorum is way--way too far right on social issues to attract the female vote in this country.

Ah, now you go to stereotyping women. So you think there are no women who are completely against abortion? lololololol

His stance on abortion--stating NO EXCEPTION for the victims of brutal rape and incest is beyond the pale. Even pro-life conservative women understand abortions in these circumstances.--and even they would vote against Santorum on these issues--meaning a landslide victory for Barack Obama.

No, you are quite mistaken as Reagan, who had the same stand, took a majority of the womens vote in two elections.

Sarah Palin said it right: "I hope that they choose life"--but I also understand why a woman of a brutal--violent rape attack or a young girl that was sexually assaulted through incest would want an abortion.

Interesting how you paraphase the key part of what you claim Palin said. Wonder what she really said.

Also Santorum's continual bashing of gays in this country in an offensive manner doesn't ring up any points for him. This idiot doesn't realize that there are many conservative republican households in this country who have family members or friends that are gay--and are just as offended by his continual offensive remarks as gays are.

Lol, bullshit, there are no real conservatives who are offended by his remarks about sodomites.

Rick Santorum is one ANGRY NUT-CASE.

Heh, YOU sound like the angry nut here, not Santorum.

The historical FACTS proive you to be wrong.

Fortunately it would appear that most conservatives are awakening from the libtard trance and realize that they can win the election without abandoning their core beliefs, lol.

What the hell does that have to do with anything?

Seeing the biggest assinine fraud on these boards (meaning YOU dumbshit carbinier) say such things is really reassuring.

We could set up an anti-investment indexc based on your idiotic statements, but it is a shame there is no money in it.

You could be our Cramer, lol.

JimBowie,

May I ask what you think about a Santorum/Palin ticket?
