Rasmussen Natl Poll Reported Today: Ron Paul Beats President Obama In A Head-To-Head Matchup By 43 To 41 Percent. I'd Say This Reveals Ron Paul Is The Most ELECTABLE! Ron Paul's Support Is GROWING Each Day Appealing To FREEDOM LOVING Americans!

Take a good look at the political wheel to the left. The way I see it, 20% of Americans are extreme far-left progressives and will support President Obama no matter what kind of oppressive legislation he signs into law. Another 20% of Americans are extreme far-right progressives and supported former President Bush no matter what oppressive legislaton he signed into law. Obama, Romney, Santorum and Gingrich all support the Patriot Act, the TSA groping, the Military Commissions Act, ENDLESS WARS and the NDAA harmful provision that gives the U.S. President the power to indefinitely detain Americans considered "terrorists" in the eyes of the government WITHOUT DUE PROCESS. Ron Paul is the ONLY presidential candidate who has staunchly opposed these laws and voted against them.

Well, I am a Capitalist with a Heart who values my FREEDOM. That would make me a CENTRIST. I am appealing to the 60% of Americans who are Center, Center-Left and Center-Right. This next presidential election hinges on your full support. How much do you value your FREEDOM? Do you want more of the same? or are you ready to make a statement LOUD AND CLEAR?

I am supporting Dr. Ron Paul because he is the only candidate who says what he means and means what he says. He is a man of principle and integrity. There is nothing shallow about him. He doesn't flip-flop on issues like everyone else in politics. He understands finance and economics. He genuinely cares about protecting and defending our individual liberties, property rights and wants to prevent future generations from going down the road to serfdom. He has never kowtowed to the establishment or special interest groups like everyone else in politics. If you value your FREEDOM as much as I do and want to keep it, then I encourage you to visit Ron Paul's Presidential Campaign website for more information.

Don't believe the media hyping up Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. This national poll was not strictly republican voters. This national poll included independents and democrats. I know that Ron Paul would defeat President Obama by a large margin because so many independents and democrats are extremely disappointed in President Obama and are tired of the same bs being served up. This republican primary race is far from over and those of you in the remaining 40 states and 5 U.S. territories can make all the difference in the world. So please, let your VOICE BE HEARD and get involved. Our free and prosperous future depends on it.

At the moment, Ron Paul bests President Obama in a head-to-head matchup by 43 to 41 percent, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Tuesday.

How about this for a poll shocker: While everybody in US politics has been preoccupied with the Michigan primary, Ron Paul has sneaked up on President Obama and for the first time leads the incumbent in a head-to-head survey.

That’s right, leads – as in, ahead of, out front, winning, and so forth. According to a Rasmussen Reports poll released Tuesday, at the moment Representative Paul bests Mr. Obama in a head-to-head matchup by 43 to 41 percent.

The same poll has Mitt Romney tied with Obama, at 44 percent each. Rick Santorum is three points behind the president, according to Rasmussen, and Newt Gingrich is 10 points behind.

Wow. Paul is outperforming all the other GOP candidates, by this measure. His campaign is spinning this as evidence he’s the most electable of all.

“In order to win back the White House, Republicans must nominate a consistent candidate that offers something besides the status quo. Ron Paul is that candidate,” said national campaign chairman Jesse Benton in a statement on the Rasmussen results.

Well, we hate to be the bearer of cold water, but we’ve got a couple of comments to make on this.

First, one poll does not a white-haired Texas libertarian president make. As we said, this is the only head-to-head matchup to this point that shows Paul beating Obama. The RealClearPolitics rolling average of such polls still has Paul behind by a little over seven points.

Plus it’s, you know, hypothetical. Paul is not actually running against Obama at the moment. And the polls that have to do with him getting to that point aren’t so positive at the moment.

In the RealClearPolitics poll average of the four GOP contenders, Paul remains in fourth, as the choice of 12 percent of Republican voters. He’s not outperforming that figure in any big March 6 Super Tuesday states, either. In Ohio, he’s at 10.7 percent. In Georgia, he’s at 8.8 percent. He’s doing a bit better in Tennessee, at 15 percent in a recent Vanderbilt University poll, but that’s still good for only third place.

Of course, there is always the chance that Paul can take a few delegates in Tuesday’s Michigan primary. State rules allocate two delegates to the winner of each congressional district, and it’s possible that Paul could win in districts that include the University of Michigan and Michigan State. (He’s big with young people, in case you didn’t know.)

And the Washington caucuses are March 3. They’ll be another test of Paul’s strategy of focusing his energy, money, and organization on caucus states.
