Mitt Romney leads President Obama in the first Gallup national daily tracking poll.
Romney took 47 percent support from surveyed registered voters, while Obama took 45 in a poll conducted between April 11 and April 15. Romney's edge though is within the poll's three point margin of error.
Independents tipped the scale in favor of Romney, going for the former Massachusetts governor 45 percent to 39.

I know you have/had the same disorder I do, but you were always kind of crazy (wait...I am, too).
If you find resistance to RINO tyranny is not your cup of tea, you can always follow your comrade in (no) arms, Scythian, over to RINOS-R-US: http://gopbriefingroom.com
he did lose to Bobby Rush by 61% - 30% in 2000 Congressoional races.
Jim if it is now the policy of Free Republic that Obama should be reelected, then I am very sorry you feel that way. I’m no RINO andI’ll leave it at that. Your hatred of Romney is so extreme that you are attacking conservatives merely because they believe Obama must be defeated by whoever is the nominee.
You posted to me some time ago that if Romney is nominated, FR would be half against Obama, half against Romney. But it seems the anti Obama part is now being invited to leave?
Are you actually going to take the position that if Romney is nominated, you will support the reelection of Barack Obama?
Well, you’re nothing but a fricken idiot if you believe that. I’ve never said and never will say that Obama should be reelected. Obama should be impeached and tried as a traitor. I’m saying that Romney should never be elected. He’s a fricken Constitution trampling, big government statist/progressive who will deprive you of your liberty quicker than you can say FU Jim Robinson!! See my chart posted elsewhere.
IOW, KMA, surrender monkey. Post your opus and bail the hell OUT!! Go back to RINO land where you belong.
Thank you. I will not do anything to help Obama in any way win this election. I will exert all of my energies to his defeat at the ballot box...and I believe we can. I am constrained to do this for my kids and grandkids sake so they can carry on the fight in the future. They may not have that chance with Obama in office for another four years. Plain and simple.
So I will vote for Romney if he is the nominee (and still hope and pray that Newt can pull off a miracle) and I will do so like the survival of the Republic depends on it...because I believe it does...even though Romney is not anywhere close to my ideal candidate, coming in fifth for me behind Palin, Cain, Santorum and Newt whom I have supported to date in the GOP primaries

Could just imagine if there was a Freepers for Obama list or something.
Confuse the crap out of DU, that's for damn sure!!
For the record, I'm ABO. I'd vote for Jack the Ripper if he was the GOP nominee this time.
You don't get it! We're all tired of RINOs but the ones of us who have half a brain are more than tired of...also afraid of the Muslim in the WH.
"Be careful what you wish for!"
I am not and never have been in my life a RINO so that’s one statement on which you are mistaken. In fact I don’t really give a good crap about the republican party versus what is best for this country.
I am trying to remain anti Obama here. I don’t know why you are so freaked over current events.
Been receiving all these emails inviting me to other sites. Have no real interest in them but you want me to go there. This is all very strange.
I criticized someone for calling it “bad news” that Obama would lose. That is campaigning for Romney?
Why are the people who say it is better to elect Obama, not being criticized by Free Republic? But Jim is calling me a RINO and telling me to write an opus and leave.
It’s really sad what is going on. Sure, I expect posters to call each other names and have fights. But the owner of the site is calling me a RINO when I have posted conservative opinions here on every topic for about 13 years?
I’ve always been respectful to Jim.
Well, if you continue accusing me of wanting Obama reelected, or continue attacking and posting insults to me or my fellow resistance posters on FR, you will have no choice in the matter. Either knock it off or b-gone!!
The choice is yours!
I think I’ve heard the “check story” from a few customers before.
Yes, the GOP convention is not until the end of August, but Newt is not going to win. You’re welcome to hold on to the idea that some how Newt will rise, but it is impossible at this point. The delegates are not going to revolt.
I told you I supported Newt. But he’s lost, it’s time to move on. And since when is Newt the FR candidate? Yes Jim Robinson doesn’t like Romney, but there are others that have just as much chance and more support then
Newt even if they are technically not “in”. That’s how small a chance Newt
has now. Are you trying to tell me FR can tell me I can’t vote for Romney
and have to vote for Newt? I may vote for neither if that is my choice, but
no one tells me who I will vote for! One would think as a conservative you
would know that. ABO (that has a chance!)
This is bad.
No Romney, no way.
When he does, what then?
When it comes down to the two, like with Perot, you either vote to win or vote and lose. By not voting the nominee you will vote to lose.
It’s unbelievable, almost. Give it a couple more days and some in here will be openly saying they will vote for obama.
Now run along like a good little deer and report me to Jim Robinson. I just reported the facts, didn't campaign for anyone.
I guess Newt must be a RINO to because he said if Romney is the nominee, he's behind him 100% and will campaign for him. So add another RINO to your list instead of doing something productive. Like someone up thread said, do you take pride in anointing yourself the FR Gestapo?
I am on the deck of the Titanic, getting into the last lifeboat available, and you say I act like a quitter...., O.K. I guess, but I'm actually a realist.
You cannot turn an aircraft carrier around in 5 minutes and you cannot turn around a national campaign in 4 months. My guy, Gingrich is heads above anyone else in the race, on either side, but apparently the voters don't agree with me and are going to choose Romney. Now, they are not all stupid, some very influential people have stepped forward and are backing Romney as our best bet to beat Obama. We'd better be on board or we might see another disastrous 4 years of the idiot in chief.
You guys just dont get it. Were tired of RINOs, so we want to stay home, or write in someone.
When Obama wins, the GOP-e will get the message!
Exactly what I was thinking. David Axelrod probably reads Free Republic everyday with a big grin on his face.
I don’t understand why I read such horrible, power grabbing, anti-American stories about Obama on this site everyday and then am encouraged to not vote for his opponent, giving him another four years. Why post these articles telling us how bad Obama is? So when he wins we can have a scrap book tracing our demise to pass on to future generations?
Nice try, but Barry’s opponent has not been decided yet so your rominy ‘sick o fancy’ is rather exposed.
Thank you very much :)
In agreement.

“...apparently the voters don’t agree with me and are going to choose Romney...some very influential people have stepped forward and are backing Romney as our best bet to beat Obama. We’d better be on board or we might see another disastrous 4 years of the idiot in chief.”
I can see your point of view, truly I can.
Some of my closest friends voted for Obama even though I was able to prove to them during the summer of 2008 that his family claimed, through interviews with many African publications, that BHO2 was born in Kenya.
It is a shame that more folks do not do research on candidates but maybe I have a gift to recognize honesty when I hear and see it. Neither Obama nor Romney are honest men, period. They snooker people into seeing them, not as they are, but as the viewer wishes to see them.
Terrycarl, past is prologue here in this election. BHO2 is not going to improve his performance during a second term and Romney will not magically morph into a conservative respecting limited government. MR is a national socialist with no respect for our constitutional rights.
A point to remember: Ronald Reagan was polling 30% in October, 1980, yet he went on to win the Presidency in November.
Anything can and will happen in the next 7 months. All it takes is people like you, me, and whole Hell of a lot of chutzpah!
No one here is hell bent on ensuring another 4 years for Obama in the White House, in fact, quite the opposite. What we are determined to do is prevent a self-avowed progressive, a socialist named Mitt Romney, from seizing control of the Republican Party.
George Soros has said that there is no difference between Romney and obama. He should know and has no reason to lie.
What we are proposing is to take back our party from the nabobs of negativism and run a conservative as the next Republican nominee.
This isn’t over ‘til November, and a lot can happen in 7 months.
Am I actually posting to a little kid? You’ve called me a moron twice (sophisticated word choice/s) and seem to enjoy running to the owner of the site to “tell” on people that you assume aren’t following the rules. You also don’t address any of the things actually said to you, just name call. Are you going throw a temper tantrum when Newt endorses Romney? Because it’s going to come to that point. I suggest you put yourself in a time out when that happens, for every one’s sake. We all know you’ll add him to your RINO list, and claim you knew it all along. Just a little refresher and maybe you can answer this time: Newt has said he will support the nominee 100% and campaign for him. He has said on Greta it will probably be Romney. He says Romney is 100% better then Obama. If people are wrong for saying the same thing on this site, yet you agree and support Newt, I guess I will be forced to call you names and report you.
I can't believe I'm being told not to vote for somebody based on what George Soros said about them! Jim Robinson gives me food for thought. But George Soros!!!???
You’re still crying?
What you are refusing to understand is that I will not vote for an abortionist statist for any reason whatsoever. Newt, Rush, Palin, you, Bachmann, NO ONE will convince me otherwise. Nor will I support him or allow FR to be used in his support. If you wish to vote for a lying rat bastard who will screw you in the end, be my guest. But if you wish to campaign for him, please do it somewhere else. It’s not welcome here.
I will, however, turnout on election day and vote for every pro-life, pro-liberty conservative on my ballot DOWN ticket!!
I forgot to add, if you can give me a way that we can, at this point, run a candidate that has true blue Conservative credentials as the GOP nominee, I’m all in and will help anyone organize, get out the vote, and I will give my hard earned money to that candidate. But after analyzing all of the data, I see no way of doing this at such a late date, and it is late in a Presidential election year. Like I said, third party won’t do it. And delegates, the ones that can, are not going to switch candidates at the convention with all of the endorsements Romney has received. He’s practically already been endorsed by any potential conservative candidate you may want to put up against him!
I just think Obama is the epitome of EVIL!!!!
Like wise is Obama-lite. Government sanctioned, encouraged, funded, subsidized mass murder of millions of helpless innocent unborn in the womb is about the most evil thing I can think of. I will not vote for a man who boasted he was pro-abortion and that abortion should be safe and legal in America and that Roe v Wade should be protected and sustained as settled law and that he had held this position for three decades ever since his mother ran for office as a pro-choice candidate!! And I flat do not believe his 11th hour conversion. He was liberal/progressive on every issue I hold dear. The man is an evil LIAR!!
WTH are you talking about now?
You don’t have to believe George Soros if you don’t want to, but he never lies. He doesn’t have to.
And do your own research on Mitt Romney, like I have done.
Understand this: the nomination process is not over. There are 4+ months left to go until the convention in Tampa. Anything and everything can happen in that span of time.
The Tea Party managed to put a million people onto the streets of Washington, D.C., a couple years ago, and I believe Conservatives can take their party back from the frightened Country Clubbers who are terrified Obama will seize their wealth and deluded by Romney’s flashing money around and talking down his opponents as he has no posititve record to run on himself.
Our choice, and there really isnt any other, is to back the only person running who has actually changed government, and that is Newt Gingrich.
Gingrich doesn’t have to get to 1144 delegates to effectively block Romney. After that first vote of delegates in Tampa when Romney can’t get the nomination free and clear, the whole convention is up for grabs.
I want him impeached and tried for treason. Will not be a part of moving the GOP any further to the left. The idiots who anointed abortionist, statist/progressive Romney should be drummed out of the party.
OMG, you have gone off the deep end and are hot in the process of ruining your own site. You claim to be conservative, but in my world that also means supporting free speech.
On the other hand you are only allowing people who fanatically follow your lead.
I don't get it and will have to admit don't really care any more.

....Obama is the worst enemy this country has encountered, and we elected him President! I want him gone!
I swear, McCain’s staff ran a campaign to elect Obama. They did not permit the lion’s share of Obama’s dark background to be exposed and they only attacked Gov. Palin. I am sure these are the same kind of people who have put a guarenteed leftist loser up against Obama.
Newt lost to Ron Paul in at least one Primary, couldn't make the ballot in other states, got about 5% of the vote in others. If delegates were going to revolt what makes you think they'd pick Newt? Can't agree with you that George Soros doesn't lie. The man supports every leftist, Progressive organization there is. He'd say anything to get what he wanted. I've heard him talk about Global Warming and call George Bush a war criminal. He's a lying Nazi that was born to a Jewish family. He manipulates Free Markets world wide for his own benefit. I could go on and on.
Alert! Alert! Hurry Brown Deer notify the authorities I was mean to you!
Its like republican/democrat are two marketing/advertising corporations that are pushing the exact same product but with sales competition targeting left or right demographics , the only difference between the two is the choreography of the dog and pony show and which dog or pony gets the treat
