Anyone But Obama: CNN Poll Finds President Zero Would Beat Ron Paul By Just Four Points…
With the caveat being the same poll shows Ron Paul near the bottom of the GOP primary pack so the chances of him actually going head-to-head with Obama are somewhere between slim and none.
(LA Times) — If you are looking for signs of President Obama’s vulnerability, there are plenty to be found in the latest CNN poll. But one number stands out: If that hypothetical election were held tomorrow, Obama would beat Ron Paul — yeah, that Ron Paul — by just four points.
While it may be a sign that some voters are adopting an anybody-but-Obama attitude, that same poll shows Obama handily stomping candidates such as Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin.
And, truth be told, Obama still tops everyone in the GOP field with the exception of Mitt Romney, who runs even with the president. Obama would beat Rick Perry by five points, the poll said.
The CNN poll also showed that Perry’s poor debate performance Thursday has not seemed to have seriously jeopardized his status as the Republican front-runner. He holds a seven-point edge over Romney at 28%. (If Palin doesn’t run, Perry’s support jumps two more points.)
And while the survey showed Paul to be competitive with Obama in a head-to-head matchup, the libertarian-leaning Texan still didn’t crack double digits in the Republican primary. (He’s actually down six points from the last CNN poll.)

That’s a tough call. for all his faults Obama is not bat shit crazy although if Paul were POTUS, he probably would get senile fast enough.
Sad to say but a loony like Paul would beat the hell out of a commie like Bammie………..
New Harris Poll now has Ron up by 3 points over Barry/Obama
Romney over by 5 points.
This shows that the messages of both of these men seems to draw in others (independents) who are not beholding to party right and party left.
So while those ignorant of American history and the precepts of the Declaration of Independence use drivel comments like “loon and crazy” the facts are creeping up that freedom is popular
“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be. If we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the responsibility of every American to be informed.” Jefferson
Funny Herman Cain seemed to be left out and I trust CNN poll as much as I would trust dental floss to climb a mountain with.
Was this a .com poll? If so, any results showing Ron Paul “winning” must be taken with a grain of salt.
handymanherb…
I agree.
I’ve noticed the msm only gave Cain attention Monday, then immediately moved on the Romney, Perry and the 24/7 Christie Crap…
I despise the msm…all of them.

I also agree on CNN polls…variables are always drastic the other way compared to other reputable polls.
There are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by the gradual and silent encroachment of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpation. — President James Madison. 1751-1836
One man has stood apart, stood strong and true, voting against every tax increase, every unbalanced budget, every time. Standing up to the Washington machine, guided by principle, Ron Paul, the one who will stop the spending, save the dollar, create jobs, bring peace. The one who will restore liberty. Ron Paul, the one who can beat Obama and restore America now.
OK, people we have a choice. We can vote for freedom, or we can later wish we had. Ron Paul is a man with impeccable character and intelligence. He understands what is wrong with our economy. He is the ONLY one running for President who will follow our Constitution. I’m not going to vote for the
guy with the funniest lines or who the media tells me to vote for, but for a man
who is RELUCTANTLY running and doesn’t want to be my king or my dictator.
RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2012!
