New Poll: Romney Beats Obama in General Election - By Katrina Trinko - The Corner - National Review OnlineBy Katrina Trinko
The generic Republican candidate wouldnt beat President Obama in 2012 39 percent to 45 percent according to the Gallup poll from early August but a new Gallup poll shows that one specific GOP candidate could beat Obama, while another would tie.
Among registered voters, Mitt Romney would edge out Obama narrowly, 48 percent to 46 percent. Rick Perry would tie with Obama at 47 percent. Obama would currently beat Ron Paul, 47 percent to 45 percent, and Michele Bachmann, 48 percent to 44 percent.
My money and my vote go to Mitt the only candidate that has an awesome business background and the only candidate that deals with trade and our trade deficit with China. The man knows how to create jobs because he has created thousands.
Why is Romney losing in the polls to Perry? Also I think you need to think twice about him creating jobs. From the Boston Herald today:
Report: ‘Romneycare’ a jobs killer - BostonHerald.com
The Bay States controversial 2006 universal health-care plan also known as Romneycare has cost Massachusetts more than 18,000 jobs, according to an exclusive blockbuster study that could provide ammo to GOP rivals of former Gov. Mitt Romney as he touts his job-creating chops on the campaign trail.
Mandating health insurance coverage and expanding the demand for health services without increasing supply drove up costs. Economics 101 tells us that, said Paul Bachman, research director at Suffolk Universitys Beacon Hill Institute, the conservative think tank that conducted the study. The Herald obtained an exclusive copy of the findings.
The shared sacrifice needed to provide universal health care includes a net loss of jobs, which is attributable to the higher costs that the measure imposed, said David Tuerck, the institutes executive director.
I have read and studied all about Mitt Romney, his mandated health care concerned 9% of the population in his state that could afford health care but chose to let you flip the bill for it. It dealt with those people. It's a state's issue and one I back because you can not legislate personal responsibility and I am flat tired of paying for other people's lack of it. I don't mind helping those that can't but I do those that can. His jobs plan is awesome, he is the ONLY candidate that will deal with China as they are eating our lunch and stealing our jobs right from under our noses. As far as Republicans, Republicans need to learn to be pragmatic, the Independents or the unaffiliated voter controls the outcome of our elections, that's a fact that we can no longer ignore, they tend to be fiscal conservatives but not so socially. They heavily favor Mitt Romney. I suggest you read about Mitt by going to his website and downloading his PDF on his jobs plan, it's awesome and it should take you about 5 hours to read and thoroughly understand. Plus, he has brought companies out of the verge of bankruptsy, turned them around, yes some were laid off, but he also created thousands of jobs. It's a very impressive record.
Mitt has also stated that he would have changed some things with his health care plan, but keep in mind he had a Democrat legislature to deal with. Also the current polling, now that the kinks have been worked out of this very complicated under-taking, show a strong approval of the health care system in Ma. Anything as complicated as health care is going to encounter problems with it's implementation etc. It is a state's issue not a federal one and he has stated loud and clear that he would repeal Obama care on his first day in office and he means it. Health care is not a one size fits all scenario. States have their different health care problems, for instance, some states have a higher diabete's incidence than others, some have a higher incidence of certian types of cancer and other illinesse's. States should handle their own health care fixes, as they know what they are and what they need.
