Thread: Romney the new front runner for G.O.P

2012 Presidential Matchups

Obama 46%, Perry 39%

Before he entered his first debate as a presidential candidate, Texas Governor Rick Perry was the Republican frontrunner and held a modest lead in a hypothetical matchup against President Obama. Perry was the target for all the other candidates in the two most recent GOP debates, however, and he now trails the president by single digits.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of Likely U.S. Voters shows Obama picking up 46% of the vote, while Perry earns support from 39%. Fifteen percent (15%) are either undecided or prefer another candidate. Two weeks ago, Perry was up by three. Three weeks ago, the president held a three-point edge over the governor. (To see question wording, click here.)

Now, Perry’s chief rival for the nomination, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, holds a three-point lead on the president. Another GOP hopeful, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, trails Obama by double digits. The fluctuation in Perry's, Romney's and Bachmann’s numbers comes as a Generic Republican maintains a steady lead over the president.

The president’s Job Approval ratings remain consistently in the low-to-mid 40s. As the election draws closer, Obama’s Job Approval will provide a good indication of his likely vote total. If his Job Approval rating is over 50% in November 2012, it will be difficult for any Republican to beat him. If his ratings move into the low 40s or below, it will be difficult for the president to win unless there is a major third-party candidate in the mix.

Perceptions of the economy are likely to play a significant role in shaping the president’s Job Approval ratings. Currently, Americans say their own finances are weaker than the day Obama took office and significantly weaker than in the fall of 2008.

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on September 14-15, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
Perry trails Obama by 15 percentage points among women and barely leads among men. Perry trails among voters under 40, runs even among 40-somethings and leads among those 50 and older. It’s worth remembering that most voters over 40 voted against Obama in 2008.

Perry currently attracts just 71% of the Republican vote, while the president wins 85% of Democrats. Among voters not affiliated with either party, the race is a toss-up.

In the race for the Republican nomination nationally, the latest national polling shows Perry on top followed by Romney and Bachmann. In Iowa, Perry is also ahead of his GOP rivals.

ROMNEYvs.CAIN 2012!

The absence of a clear favorite - a compelling candidate, one outside the traditional "old white male" mold that puts the apolitical masses to sleep - makes it all the more important to oust the fraudulent impostor from office before he has a chance to use his next 3/4 trillion dollar ($5000 per taxpayer) U.S. Treasury heist to buy votes in the "Jobs for Votes Stimulus."

The Republican party is foolishly gambling that the next election will be as usual, i.e., no more than 50% rigged. From 2008, the DNC planned for widespread rioting and burning before the next Presidential election, during the summer and fall of 2012.

Since 1920, at least, liberals, progressives, socialists, communists, and fellow travelers have been playing from a well-known script.

• 1) Create a financial disaster to make the people dependent upon the government, and debauch the currency to collapse the economy and the government.
  
  2) Flood the country with aliens who have no loyalty to this nation. As for military personnel who still love their country, deploy them abroad and have them killed, or at least, disenfranchise deployed military of the vote.
  
  3) Raid the Treasury and demand a massive cash infusion before the next election ($2,400,000,000,000 should do it) with which to create "shovel-ready jobs" (building roads, utilities, public housing, government facilities, and the labor camps), then allocate those jobs to unions, organizations, and affinity groups to buy votes. Buy the votes of the unemployable the usual way, and have the goons threaten those who refuse to be bought or who have not yet learned that they can be bought.
  
  4) Allow anti-social illegal drugs to cross the borders freely. Break up families with job relocations, alcohol, illicit drugs, imprisonment, and war, so as to disrupt or destroy the family relationships that communicate family values. Stir up class warfare and racial hostility so as to create riots and chaos.
  
  5) Create, contribute to causing, or aggravate needs that government can meet. In red states, manipulate public works, disaster relief, and wherever possible, the disasters themselves (wildfires, floods, epidemics, pestilences, utility outages, bridge and highway closures, earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes, climate change) so as to disrupt the status quo and its usual election results.
  
  6) On election day, bus voters from poll to poll, and sabotage the vote in red precincts. Have the media report those early returns which will discourage red state voters from coming out to vote. Stuff the ballot boxes, create phony ballot boxes, misplace the military absentee ballots, and manipulate the vote count. If all else fails, sue.
  
  7) If and when loss is inevitable, signal the anarchists, the goons, and the barbarians to burn, riot, and destroy at will. Maybe the other side will make concessions for peace.

None of this is news to the left. If it is news to you, look up
the "Cloward-Piven Strategy" and Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals.

What the Republicans have no courage to correct now
will be much harder to correct a year from now.

Did you pray today that the LORD save
Mr. Obama from sin and us from him?
