PREZ: Romney Tied With Obama (GOP gaining)

Hedgehog Report ^ | November 25, 2009 | Hedgehog Report

[bilhosty]

Some great numbers to head into the Thanksgiving holiday from Scott Rasmussen. Rasmussen has released some numbers for the 2012 Presidential Election with the usual Republican suspects.

[bilhosty]

Sarah running a strong race also. I didnt take it off the Rassmussen site as they just concentrated on Dobbs.

[samtheman]

PRESIDENT – NATIONAL (Rasmussen)
Mitt Romney (R) 44%
Barack Obama (D-inc) 44%

Barack Obama (D-inc) 46%
Sarah Palin (R) 43%

Barack Obama (D-inc) 45%
Mike Huckabee (R) 41%

PRESIDENT – NATIONAL (Rasmussen)
Barack Obama (D-inc) 42%
Mitt Romney (R) 34%
Lou Dobbs (I) 14%

Barack Obama (D-inc) 44%
Sarah Palin (R) 37%
Lou Dobbs (I) 12%

Barack Obama (D-inc) 42%
Mike Huckabee (R) 36%
Lou Dobbs (I) 12%

Is this Dobbs true purpose in life right now... to try to guarantee an Obama re-election victory?

[AUH2O Repub]

Romney? Please, it would nice to be someone different than Obama.

[londonfog]

Rhomney is finished . His health care is bankrupt. While I personally admire Mormons , that is huge negative with voters.

[mrsixpack36]

Polls like this crack me up. Lets worry about 2010 first, then let the big one start. As for slick Willard; Mitt does not want Obama’s health plan to pass because Mitt wants the credit himself for forcing everyone into the scheme. RomneyCare for all!!!

[nhwingut]

Romney will never make it out of the GOP primaries. Romneycare is a disaster for him.

[babygene]

The conservatives are not going to support Mitt or Huckleberry. They had less support than the RINO McCain, and he couldn’t beat obama.

[2ndDivisionVet]

No one that ran for president last time should even be considered this go-round. Governor Palin or another real conservative, which excludes Myth Romney and Gomer Huckleberry.

[flowerplough]

So I guess RomneyCare would be just as good as ObamaCare, then?

Romney Tied With Obama (GOP gaining)

RINO gaining.

[LiberConservative]

If Romney is running this strong now just think how much stronger Palin will be running a year or so from now. Woo Hoo!!

[STONEWALLS]

” Lets worry about 2010 first,...”

damn straight!....2010 congressional races will be huge...we’ve got to all work to make gains here...locally too.

[HiTech RedNeck]

If Romney has caught up with Obama, imagine what a blowout a decent candidate would have against the Bummer.

I’m cheering for Sarah Palin, who has been rather coy to date about any presidential aspirations. Despite running with McCain, she does not yet have the widespread name recognition that Romney has.

[okie01]

Rhomney is finished . His health care is bankrupt. While I personally admire Mormons , that is huge negative with voters.

Given that Romney -- nor Huckabee, nor Thompson, nor Giuliani -- could defeat the weakest GOP candidate since Alf Landon, no 2008 Republican candidate is qualified for the presidency.

[HiTech RedNeck]

I guess I would hold my nose and vote Gomer Huckleberry if Bummer were the alternative.

[londonfog]

Lou Dobbs!!!

[AUH2O Repub]

What? Doesn't have the name recognition??? What planet are you living on?

[HiTech RedNeck]

The American public will probably be ready to elect a Republican ham sandwich to the White House by 2012.

Who might carry out the job well doesn’t have much to do with how popular he or she was in 2008. I don’t think even Romney could screw things up as bad as the Bummer.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We in the conservative camp know her well. But RINOs don’t know much about her, they don’t care to.

[Chunga]

Lou Dobbs is a populist moron. He’s as narcissistic as Obama.

[presently no screen name]

Despite running with McCain, she does not yet have the widespread name recognition that Romney has.

LOL! LOL! LOL!

[londonfog]

No, he is trying to stand for something besides mush!!! When this country collapses we will need strength to guide us,not a quitter.

[londonfog]

He is our new conservative leader. This entire town is excited!!!

[pallis]

Romney better hope the healthscare goes away, because people are going to be reminded that he is the true author of this monstrosity. His Socialism is so slick the Democrats imitate him.

[bilhosty]

I am looking for someone else to. I can accept a 2008 retread but I owuld hope we find osme one else. Of course if that someone bursts out of the scen from no where then like Palin they run the risk of being defined by the MSM. So we will wait and see.

[driftdiver]

Rasmussen likes Romney because he is a socialist.

[HiTech RedNeck]

LOL and ROF and such all you want. Most Bummer voters know more about Romney than Palin. The MSM has seen to that. If the GOP candidates’ stars are rising against the Democrats, then the MSM boosts a weak, compromised one and ignores a strong, principled one.

[Bahbah]

It is quite possible that we will get to a point where we can run a three legged milking stool and beat the Ozero. In light of that belief, I think we should go for an actual conservative candidate :)

[Robbin]

“, she does not yet have the widespread name recognition that Romney has.”

That statement is just plain dumb.... Every adult in the country knows who Palin is.

[Al B.]

Despite running with McCain, she does not yet have the widespread name recognition that Romney has.

What? GMAFB.

Romney better worry about getting the GOP nom before he gets too giddy about these numbers. That same Rasmussen poll (in the internals) had these numbers for Fav/Unfav among GOP voters:

Palin -- 81/15
Huckabee -- 80/14
Romney -- 63/30

The most recent PPP poll had Romney at 48% favorability among Republicans with Palin at 80%.

[TexasFreeper2009]

Sarah is within 3 of the zero !

ROFL

Liberal heads are about to explode!

[SoConPubbie]

No, he is trying to stand for something besides mush!!! When this country collapses we will need strength to guide us,not a quitter.

When you get tired of parrotting the DNC and the LSM (Lame Stream Media and develop an intelligent opinion based on the facts vs. the crap the left-wing and RINOs want to spew, let us know.

The rest of us might take you seriously then.

[HiTech RedNeck]

How many have an accurate idea, or at least are familiar with her own claims?

[driftdiver]

I haven’t seen Romney draw in the crowds she has for a book signing.

[SoConPubbie]

I haven’t seen Romney draw in the crowds she has for a book signing.

Not just one book-signing, EVERY book-signing.

[sport]

If the Republican Party and main stream medis have anything to do with it you are going to get either Rommey or Huckabee. Whichever is the weaker candidate. Good luck because you are going to need it.

[bgill]

Give it a few more months and the local dog catcher will be tied with Hussein.

[mono]

But, its Rommneys turn for the GOP! sarcasm.

[ak267]

Despite running with McCain, she does not yet have the widespread name recognition that Romney has.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

What the heck are you talking about?

Book, Magazines, TV, bloggers, net.....HELLO????

[driftdiver]

The libs will push Romney because they think BO can beat him.

[presently no screen name]

Get a grip! The WORLD knows Sarah. Asia invited her to speak. In spite of MSM, they know Sarah. My diehard MSM watcher cousin even knows Sarah!

Why/Who puts Romney’s name on these polls? Propaganda.

Where is a poll on what ‘rat is running against BHO? Why don’t we see a poll for that? Because they polls are meant to persuade ONLY the GOP vote! So far, NO ONE has thrown their hat in the ring - but the MSM is doing it for you.

[maine-iac7]

He is our new conservative leader. This entire town is excited!!!

God grief = you going for another Ross Perot debacle?

THAT worked out well. It handed us Billy Jeff.........

If he runs (Dobbs) you all will be able to count on the support of the RAts. They're probably praying he'll run and will do all they can to help.

[SoConPubbie]

The libs will push Romney because they think BO can beat him.

I don't think anyone is going to argue that point with you here on FreeRepublic.

[SoConPubbie]

I don't think anyone is going to argue that point with you here on FreeRepublic.

The difference will be the Bull Dog attitude of Sarah's.

If she determines this is God's will for her life, she'll die trying.

I really don't think there is a politically pragmatic bone in her body, she operates primarily from principle, much like Reagan did.

[nascarnation]

Lou Dobbs could be the Axelrod/Soros plan to re-elect Baraq with a Clintonian plurality.

I firmly believe the Baraqqi Coalition can deliver 40% of the vote no matter how bad things get. So the challenge is to have a three way race.

[maine-iac7]

How many are understanding, with each successive post, that you are not a Palin fan?

[Diogenesis]

But for Romney, Obama would not be President today.

[County Agent Hank Kimball]

Dobbs is good on exactly ONE issue: immigration. Beyond that he’s a run-of-the-mill leftists. Wants more “progressive” taxes. Believes in Global Warming. Protectionist.

He makes McCain look like 1964 vintage Barry Goldwater.

Pass.

Hank

[maine-iac7]

Lou Dobbs could be the Axelrod/Soros plan to re-elect Baraq with a Clintonian plurality.

BINGO

[ZX12R]

Despite running with McCain, she does not yet have the widespread name recognition that Romney has.

Riiiiiiiiiight...

Palin: Oh yeah, she's that governor from Alaska who draws large crowds everywhere she goes, and seems to be the real deal when it comes to knowing who she is and what she believes. I think she has just written a record selling book, has over a million followers on facebook, and may run for president.

Romney: Oh yeah, he's that Mormon guy who put his dog on the roof of his car. I think he sells used cars.
