Ron Paul can beat Barack Obama in 2012 according to the latest Rassmussen poll. Among independents, Paul has an astonishing 47% to 28% edge over the president.
The difficult part may be getting the GOP nomination: Only 66% of GOP voters support Ron Paul. But there’s still potential for improvement: 49% are still not sure whether Ron Paul shares the values of most Republican voters throughout the nation.
Time to spread the message!
Pit maverick Republican Congressman Ron Paul against President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 election match-up, and the race is – virtually dead even.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of likely voters finds Obama with 42% support and Paul with 41% of the vote. Eleven percent (11%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.
Obama earns 79% support from Democrats, but Paul gets just 66% of GOP votes. Voters not affiliated with either major party give Paul a 47% to 28% edge over the president.
Twenty-six percent (26%) of GOP voters think Paul shares the values of most Republican voters throughout the nation, but 25% disagree. Forty-nine percent (49%) are not sure.
