LANDSLIDE: Limbaugh Predicts 2012 Election
Rush Limbaugh predicts 2012 outcome Radio host says pollsters wrong about presidential race
By Joe Kovacs
PALM BEACH, Fla. – While polls across America show Barack Obama in a tight race for president with potential Republican nominees, top-rated radio host Rush Limbaugh doesn’t think the outcome of the race will even be close.
“If the election were today, it would be a landslide loss,” Limbaugh said this afternoon. “Let me define landslide: five to seven points. It’d be big. It would be huge.”
“Make no mistake about it,” he continued. “Of this I am as confident as anything. I know it’s not reflected anywhere else in the media and it’s not reflected too many other places in conservative media. But I’m telling you, he’s toast. Just as Jimmy Carter was toast, and nobody knew it until election night [in 1980].
Limbaugh cited Gallup polling about Obama’s personal approval ratings among voters, and he says the forecast is not bright for the president.

Rose-colored glasses.
Ah, well...there will many opportunities for the Democrat media shills to try and turn this Around between now and November.
Different era, no Reagan and the demographics are a lot different nowadays.
I agree with Rush. His reputation and credibility means more to him then anything.
I’ve been around long enough to remember the backwards clinton watches Rush used to push and how Clinton was for sure going to be a one term president.
The fact is, if Romney is our nominee, Obama is going to win.
But its not today...its in November...a lifetime away as politics go. A lifetime.
Rush is not infallible. Seems to me, 4 years ago Rush was having fun with Operation Chaos because he wanted to slow down Hilary!. He slowed her down so much we ended up with Obama.
Limbaugh is good, and I’m no one, but IMHO, Obama is likely to be re-elected.
Sadly true, but the regime controlled media no longer set the agenda, either. It used to be that ABCBSNBCNN picked the president, or at least had huge influence. No longer.

I think Rush is right and I think we win with any of the candidates except Ron Paul.
Not the same as Carter at all. There’s no real conservative option like there was with Ronald Reagan.
I hope he is right, but Rush has been wrong before.
“I consider that opinion a good, albeit unscientific indicator of the tone of the “average” voter.”
Now ask that neighbor specifics. Would he vote for:
Romney?
Gingrich?
Santorum?
If your neighbor is like my moderate friends, he’ll say no to all 3, and then say he’ll most likely just stay home.
You forget how vilified and ridiculed Reagan was during the general election campaign. All the standard stuff the media throw at Republicans. Stupid. Nothing but an actor. V.P. Mondale got laughs on the stump by asking if people could imagine waking up and hearing the words "President Reagan" the day after the election.
It wasn't until Reagan took office and people realized what a gifted leader he was that most people saw through the lies.
Not Reagan. Not even close.
Who could forget Limbaugh’s January 2008 prediction that Obama would win by a landslide of 7 points?
