Mitt Romney has now jumped to his biggest lead ever over President Obama in a hypothetical Election 2012 matchup. It’s also the biggest lead a named Republican candidate has held over the incumbent in Rasmussen Reports surveying to date.
The latest national telephone survey finds that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters favor the former Massachusetts governor, while 39% prefer the president. Ten percent (10%) like some other candidate in the race, and six percent (6%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
A week ago, Romney trailed Obama 44% to 41%. The week before that, he held a slight 43% to 42% edge over the president. The two candidates have been essentially tied in regular surveys since January, but Romney remains the only GOP hopeful to lead Obama in more than one survey. Despite Romney’s current six-point lead, his latest level of support is in line with the 38% to 45% he has earned in matchups with the president this year. However, Obama’s 39% is a new low: Prior to this survey, his support has ranged from 40% to 46% in matchups with Romney.
A generic Republican candidate holds a narrow lead over the president again this week as has been the case all but three times in weekly tracking...
--snip--
In his latest matchup with the president, Romney holds a 20-point lead among male voters but trails by six among female voters. The Republican posts a 45% to 29% lead among voters not affiliated with either of the major political parties.
Romney earns an overwhelming 75% of the vote from those Tea Party members, while the president leads 49% to 37% among those who are not part of the grass roots movement.Obama has 65% support from the Political Class. Romney leads 51% to 31% among Mainstream voters...

45:29 is greater than 3:2. IIRC, The GOP got a little under 3 out of 5 independents in November 2010.
Outlier.
Obama-lite will never beat Obama. Nor should he.
On the other hand, a real conservative has a great chance
one-on-one versus Obama-lite or Obama himself, imo.
I don’t care what the polls say.
Still not voting for Myth Romney.
Hemlock vs. cyanide. Who cares, you're still dead either way.

Rasmussen is pushing ‘electability’ for Romney.........right before Iowa. Whodathunkit.
Say, What?
That's not an outlier. That's the bounds of Romney's range.

Whoever gets the GOP nomination, their fate will be in the hands of the independents, just like the results in November 2006, 2008 and 2010.

7 REASONS WHY MITT ROMNEY'S ELECTABILITY IS A MYTH
Shocker. Obama’s Top Political Advisor Directly Linked to Occupy Wall Street Protests
The polls at Rasmussen Reports come out at regular intervals, no?
I’m skeptical of all polls. They think republicans are easy to manipulate with polls. The MSM, Dems and GOP establishment want Romney to win. I will never vote for Romney.
Nothing on this Earth will EVER get me to cast a vote for the sociaslist Mitt.
I sincerely believe that Mitt is the one behind ALL the attacks on Consersatives (Palin, Cain, etc.) and the attacks on Newt.
Words cannot express how much I loathe that vile man. I will glad vote down the ticket and NOT cast a vote for this fraud.
Bingo!
Propaganda. Just say he can beat barry and they think everyone will vote for him. LOL!
The BASE will largely sit at home if weird Willard gets anywhere near the presidency. As will conservative Independents.
Obama BEATS Willard Flopney in Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, North Carolina, and another southern state or two and nationally by at least 5 points.
Never say never. I said the same thing about John McCain. Many of us on FR did. It took one very wise pick for a VP running mate (Palin) to change nearly every ones mind. Within days many of us McCain haters were reaching for our check books or asking how to volunteer. Whoever is nominated, be it Romney, Newt, Perry or whoever, they better remember why McCain picked Palin.
It’s not an accurate poll, for a finite number of reasons, and one of the major reasons is because the MSM hasn’t, fully, gone after Mitt yet.

“How convenient. Rasmussen comes out 5 days before Iowa and declares Romney is the only Republican who can beat the Obammunist.”
I believe that whoever is the Republican candidate will be the next president; the candidates themselves seem to know it, and that is why even the long-shots are hanging in there. The media cannot save the Kenyan Pirate; the “new normal” has done him in, and the voters will be happy to get us back to the crappy standard of living we had in late 2008 at this point. Anyone can see that things are much worse for most Americans with Obama in power; he’s toast, and gimmicks will be seen as such by a battered, cynical middle class.
Whew! Good to hear. Now I can vote for Newt.
