I kind of like these polls, because they really do measure electability from candidate to candidate pretty well.
It doesn’t really measure Obama vs Republican Candidate with any specificity. The sample could be way off.
But it does answer “which is best against Obama”.

Here
Romney over Obama by 8
Paul over Obama by 5
Bachmann over Obama by 3
Pawlenty over Obama by 1
Obama over Palin by 2
Obama over Perry by 2

Romney | 3 | Paul | 2 | Bachmann | 2 | Pawlenty | 3 | Palin/Perry

most electable to least electable left to right.

I learned from the 2006 election not to blindly dismiss the polls. The polls leading up the the election predicted a Democratic takeover of Congress. Must of us on this site rejected the polls. While I do not swear by them, neither do I reject them out of hand.

You must be joking. If this poll were to be believed Paul would be the second most electable candidate? Now, I'm hardly an RP hater (as some FReepers are) but to be honest, he'd have no chance in a general election. If by some bizarrity he ended up with the nomination we all know he'd end up competing with Goldwater numbers.
