2012 Presidential Matchups In a head-to-head matchup among all adults, Obama leads Trump by 12 points, 52-40 percent; Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota by an identical 12 points; former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich by 15 points each; and Palin by 17. Closer, as noted, are Huckabee, who trails Obama by 50-44 percent; and Romney, who comes within a scant 4 points, with 45 percent to Obama's 49. Notably, both Romney and Huckabee move numerically ahead of Obama, by 49-44 percent and 48-45 percent, respectively, among independents, the quintessential swing voters in national elections. All other Republicans tested in this poll trail Obama among independents. Romney outperforms other potential GOP candidates in higher-income brackets, leading Obama by 11 points among people in $100,000-plus households, a group in which Obama ran evenly against McCain in 2008. Obama won independents by 52-44 percent in 2008; now, as noted, more favor Romney. Obama's support among whites is about the same now as in 2008 (he's losing them to Romney by 13 points), but he's somewhat down from his levels in some other groups, including young voters (60 percent, vs. 66 percent in 2008), liberals (84 percent, vs. 89 percent in 2008) and, notably, moderates (53 percent, vs. 60 percent in 2008).

Romney right. ABC wants us to nominate Romney. Stop the presses.
Polls that include all adults are typically skewed toward the Democrats. No one ever uses these polls for anything. Polls of likely voters are what matters.
This poll is done only as one more way for the MSM to protect up Obama. It says more about ABC News than it does about the American people.
Of course the republican field looks weak, I took a look at the sample and guess what? It favors the Dems.
Democrats-352
Republicans-280
Independents-310
Women (who tend to be more liberal) -565
Men-435
college educated-380
non-college-615
Go figure, every category favors Obama, I highly doubt that a REAL election would be this lop sided.
Women (who tend to be more liberal) -565
Men-435
THAT’s the one that stands out as the most skewed of all.
Since most the polls last election were off 20%+ we should pay any attention because?
Pray for America
Honestly, I would REALLY take any of the Rs now over B. Stinkin’ O.
Any of ‘em. I know some are RINOs and a little kooky....but truly, this guy, I am convinced, is committed to destroying the America I grew up loving. He isn’t confused or mistaken....he REALLY wants America to be cut down to the level of post World War II Europe.
