NBC/WSJ: Mitt Romney widens his lead

Link



Poll

I will go out on a branch here and say that I do not believe Sarah Palin will run for President so Romney’s poll numbers will look more like those in the smaller field than his in the larger field. This would give Romney around a 30% advantage over the next closest competitor. Such a large lead would be hard, but not impossible, to beat so as it appears now this primary nomination will be Romney’s unless he seriously slips up.

When they polled Romney against President Obama the score was 49-43 with Obama leading by 6%. Considering the election is still more than 16 months away this means very little seeing as how anything could change the entire election. The economy could head south into a double-dip recession which would almost guarantee the election to the Republican. So any number of things could drastically change this entire election.

For those of us who are Ron Paul fans we should not give up hope. With Sarah Palin out of the race Ron Paul is in second with 11%. It would be a very serious uphill battle to win the primary but it is not like a candidate far back in second has never come out ahead during the primaries. At least for me Mitt Romney is my second choice so it looks like a win-win for me.

personally I don't like romney..he seems a bit too goody-goody..he makes my skin crawl.

I don't like Romney either. He says something and then says the opposite. I think he just says whatever he thinks the person wants to hear at that time. He's phony. And he's either a liar or very confused about where he stands on a topic. No thanks.

Well, since that poll was taken before the debate. I wonder what the results would be now?

These polls are of course useless.

Quite a number of candidates have not even announced their candidacy.

It is many months out before they get serious about this.

Romney is NOT very popular in the Heartland at all.

Wait until all the possible candidates announce they are seeking the nomination.

Hillary was suppose to be a shoe in.

We all know how that ended.

And Romney will continue to put distance between himself and the carnival sideshow of wacko's that are supposed to be his competition.

I see those numbers changing in July 2011.
It's pretty easy to surge further ahead when Gov.Sarah Palin isn't even on the stage.

Michelle Bachmann is starting to look like a pretty good VP.

Romney called out for 'haughty' behavior

(CNN) - Days after former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney scored big political points in New Hampshire at CNN's first GOP Presidential Primary debate, some say the candidate let his victory go to his head.

Romney looks like a "Ken Doll". He comes across as a crowd pleaser.

We need someone who can make powerful difficult decisions.
