Obama Still Leads His GOP Rivals


A new Politico/George Washington University Battleground Poll shows that against a generic, unnamed Republican challenger, President Obama tied 43 to 43.

"But when voters were pushed to pick between Obama and the GOP front-runner, Mitt Romney, the president took a 6-percentage-point lead. Obama beat Herman Cain by 9 percentage points in the survey, conducted last week as new revelations about sexual harassment allegations against the former Godfather's Pizza CEO continued to trickle out."

Notes Democratic pollster Celinda Lake: "Generic Republicans never flip-flopped on a position and never had any problems in their personal life. When it's a choice, we're in a much, much stronger position."

2. Does this mean a generic Republican like Rudy could at least tie Obama?

4. A "Generic Republican" is kind of like a unicorn.

They're magical beasts with all sorts of uses. If you can find one. :rofl:

3. That's just one poll. Romney leads Obama in some other polls.

Taking into account all current polls it's essentially a dead heat between Obama and Romney. Obama beats all of the other GOP contenders however.
