Thread: CBS Poll: Independents Prefer Ron Paul Vs Obama

People may not agree with him 100%, and he may not be the greatest orator compared to other slick politicians/lawyers, but the numbers prove that he has the closest advantage of beating Obama with independents over the other GOP candidates. And many Paul supporters have pledged that because the policies of both Republicans and Democrats have been so similar over the years, they will NOT vote for the eventual GOP nominee if it isn't Dr. Paul. Our country cannot continue on this same destructive path. Dr. Paul is the only one who predicted the economic crisis and the only one who will truly cut spending by 1 TRILLION DOLLARS. NO other candidate is as serious about fixing the debt problem. He spent his entire career warning us about it but we wouldn't listen.

THINK ABOUT THIS: The other candidates are OWNED by lobbyists. Ron Paul isn't. Now who do you believe will most likely protect and defend OUR interests? The greatest threat to our freedom is Debt. And we'd better get serious about choosing a candidate who will actually do something about it. Independent voters are the ones who are going to make the greatest impact in the election.

I'm feeling a little feisty tonight so I hope I'm not coming across as a Cheerleader - Know It All! I've never had enough confidence to be one anyway. (both a cheerleader and a know-it- all) LOL. However, I am extremely worried about the debt but I'm also very excited about a candidate who has taken his oath of office seriously, doesn't take money from lobbyists, and who has tremendous knowledge and foresight about economic and monetary issues.



CBS Poll: Independents Prefer Ron Paul Vs Obama

In a head to head match up with incumbent President Barack Obama, the indie voter chooses Ron Paul, a CBS News poll suggested on Monday.

A total of 47% of independent voters said they would choose Ron Paul compared to 45% of independent voters choosing Mitt Romney against Obama, and 41% of independents saying they would choose Rick Santorum. If a Paul-Obama showdown were ever to take place, 47% of independent voters would vote for Paul, 81% republicans and 10% Democrats for a total of 45% of the vote. Obama would get just 40% of the independent vote in that contest, with 85% of the Democrats choosing Obama and 9% of Republicans choosing the President on election day in November. Obama would win the general election by a narrow one point margin if the election was held today between the two.

However, Ron Paul is not the favorite among conservatives polled. Romney is the leader there, getting 90% of the conservative vote, followed by Texas governor Rick Perry at 85%. Ron Paul comes in tied with Newt Gingrich at No. 4 with 81% of conservatives voting for that particular candidate.

Romney is the only GOP candidate seen beating Obama in November by a two point margin, according to the poll. Paul is in second.

CNN Poll: Majority of Independent Voters Disapprove of Obama

...and, as we had often said here during the Bush years, it is difficult for a President who wants to be successful to be mainly a President of the base. Obama can’t afford to lose independent voters.

MY, My, My, someone finally put it out there and it is so true. Indenpendents will not support another GOP gopher and that is the bottom line.
