A new Rasmussen report shows that however high Hilary Clinton's negative ratings might be, Mitt Romney's are worse.
44% of likely voters would vote against Mr. Romney, as opposed to 43% against Mrs. Clinton. The Romney-haters include 25% of Republicans who say they would definitely vote against the former Massachusetts governor. While none of this means voters couldn't change their minds over the next year-plus, it's amazing that Mr. Romney scores so high despite his low name-ID this early in the game. Only one other Republican outdoes Mrs. Clinton on this measure: Newt Gingrich.
There are enough people in this country concerned about abortion that flip flopping on that topic sure can generate a lot of negatives on both sides.
I doubt that Romney will hold the lead for long.
I’m tired of hearing the media ask about “Romney’s Mormon faith.” Sheesh, even Time Magazine did a cover story on it. How about Harry Reid’s Mormon faith? Does he have any?
No surprise there — if Time did a story on Harry Reid’s tax-eluding land deal with a mafiosi, somehow the writer would mention Mitt Romney and his Mormon faith.
