Rasmussen Poll - 2012 Match-ups: Obama, Romney Tied at 45%; Obama 48%, Palin 42%

If the 2012 presidential election were held today, President Obama and possible Republican nominee Mitt Romney would be all tied up at 45% each, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

The president, seeking a second four-year term, beats another potential GOP rival, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, by six points – 48% to 42%.

Looks like the Messiah with all his socialist policies is beginning to lose footing.

If Obama keeps up his dictatorship ways by forcing and ramming his unpopular policies down the people's throats, his decline in the polls will continue to slip further and further until Palin can beat him only after him being in office for 1 year.

So far Obama is a complete failure with everything from his healthcare plan, non-stimulus plan, bailouts and his lie about being transparent. Pathetic!

It won't be an Obama/Palin run. She killed her chances.

Obama/Romney. Obama/Crist. Obama/Jindal.

I'd like to see a poll matching up Obama/Jindal.

Of course ... there may not be much left for whoever gets in in 2012 ....

Well you see, it's all a matter of perspective. To you, they're unpopular policies being rammed down your throat but to the majority of the country they're popular policies being enacted because he has a mandate from the people. That's why he won the election.

no and no
www.politico.com...

At the end of the day if instead of Obama they want Romney a.k.a Hey My Earpiece is malfuntioning then people are the same sheep as yesterday.

Nobody has awakened, there's no change
popular candidates just keep gaining ground

it's a popularity contest!

give it up, give up the revolution
give up your home, pocket, bank account and livelyhoods

I see they are still scared to talk about the good Dr.

I run into soo many people drom each side of the political spectrum that believe Dr. Ron Paul would have made a fine commander in chief.

A man who leads by example.

Ron Paul for President...

If this country elects Romney they are idiots. Another WallStreet/Goldman Sachs lackey! Until a third party Jesse Ventura/Ron Paul type of personality wins America will never change. I'm disgusted how far from grace my country has fallen. Are most Americans so pathetic, uninformed to think unless someone like Ron Paul wins the Presidency anything will change? He's the ONLY candidate talking about the Federal Reserve. The fact that he's even initiating the dialogue should make everyone think.

If the policies are so popular to the people that voted for him then why do his poll numbers keep slipping? Most people who voted for him wanted Change and transparency. Transparency is non existant in his admin. Even Bush was more transparent. As far as change goes, yeah people wanted to change but not to quasi-Communism.

I'm not an Obama fan, but a just a couple of points..

Its quite awhile yet till 2012, time for Obama to either get things fixed up, or run them further into the ground. So, how it goes in the comming years will play a big part.

The deal with Romney that I thought hurt him last time - he just comes across as too much of a corp. "fat cat". At least to me, the slick boss kind of guy that would fire his mom and outsource her job to make a quick buck.

During the election I heard a commentator (I think Krauthammer ) make the following comment about Romeny.

"Why don't people like Romeny?" "Lets see, he's rich, he's good looking, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and....what more do you need?"

I think Romeny may have a shot - but he's going to have to broaden his appeal a little.

I don't think any of the current republican candidates have a real shot in 2012.

They need to come up with someone new & fresh that can actually attract voters that wouldn't automatically vote for the GOP.

I seriously don't think Palin has a chance of doing this, no matter how hard she tries to "think outside of the box" (I often wonder if she's even aware that there is a box, where it is and what it looks like.)

Since we're on the subject of polls, let's decide who is a better dancer too.

Kick it!

You could not be more wrong!

First of all, winning by 4% is NOT a mandate for anything. Just becuase you win an election does not mean it's a mandate.

Secondly, his policies are NOT popular. It has nothing to do with perspective. It has to do with reality. His healthcare plan is below 50% approval.

Obama's Healthcare below 50% approval

That's why he won the election.

Umm.....no, he won the election because some people were hypnotized and/or gullible and easily swayed by the speech of a pitchmen.

Basically, these are people who are weak minded and cannot think for themselves who want the government to take care of them from cradle to grave.

Great. Another hypothetical, make believe what if from OP.

First word of source.........'If.'

Stay in Fantasy land pal, the train has departed for Realityville.

Please bring a real thread-worthy story when you are done sprinkling Pixie dust on nonsense.

The only run Palin has left are in her stockings.
(Gosh, I'm good.)

And that is the only word you always seem to read. Read the first word, then criticize right KKK? It's your typical liberal M.O.

IF you would actually read, there is nothing hypothetical about a Rasmussen Poll. The poll gives the feeling on the thoughts of people today.

I guess you just don't like the results because your Messiah is getting his arse kicked.

"If the 2012 presidential election were held today..."

Sorry, how is that not a hypothetical?

The current year is 2009. Gee Tinkerbell, Did you master time travel too?

My favorite "If" quote. "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride."

Edit to fix date, add snarky comment.

That is your problem. You only read the first word or IF you feel brave, the first sentence. Please stop embarrassing yourself. Try reading at least the first paragraph before making retarded statements.

The current year is 2010. Did you master Time travel too?

What on Earth are you talking about. Have you stopped taking your meds today.

I just looked up troll and thread derailer in the dictionary and they had your screen name, KKK, along with your avatar. You are a silly little liberal.

Dear WTF,

In my short time on ATS I have enjoyed engaging in thoughtful debate with members whose views often oppose mine.

Upon rare occasion, I have encountered smart, savvy and knowledgeable individuals who cause me pause for reflection and re-evaluation of my beliefs.

Their critical minds and insightful logic have swayed my opinion.

Unfortunately, you are not one of those individuals.

Sincerely...KK

Umm...no you have not. That is the entire point.

Your M.O. is always the same. Jump into a thread and contribute nothing but sly, snarky little comments which only criticize. Perhaps in your twisted mind you call this engaging debate but in reality KKK, it's just the opposite.

Take this thread for example. Zero contribution and only sly, snarky comments with no substance. You keep proving my point and embarrassing yourself. Aren't you tired of losing and being slapped in the face by logic, reason and truth.

Unfortunately, you are not one of those individuals.

Oh thank goodness. Now I know for sure I'm on the right track.
It's very comforting knowing you feel this way. Phew! This just solidifies my thoughts that I am right and you are wrong.

Rasmussen Poll - 2012 Match-ups: Obama, Romney Tied at 45%; Obama 48%, Palin 42%

Yeah...I'm sure Romney-care will work wonders on a national scale...it's not working well for Massachusetts.

Most of these people know nothing of what Romney or Palin stands for...let alone Obama. And Palin....does she even have a stance on anything? So she's for small government....ok....HOW is she for small government?

If those are the 3 choices we have this country will continue to go down the tubes.

I can't wait for the day when people are able to get over the Republican/Democrat garbage and actually start holding all accountable and actually know what their politicians are doing.

People say we should have more "third" parties.....I don't think we do...I think we need to get rid of political parties all together.....God forbid voters actually looked up information on who they are voting for.

I guess you are missing the point. The point is that the Messiah is no longer riding high on his wave. Personally I don't care that much for Romney so I don't know why you mentioned him to me.
