Obama holds edge over Romney in
general election matchup, poll finds — Boosted by improved public confidence in his economic stewardship,
President Obama for the first time holds a clear edge over Republican
presidential candidate Mitt Romney in a hypothetical general-election matchup,
according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Editor’s
notes: three problems with this
poll:
first, it comes from the Washington Post/ABC, bot Democrat run operations, proven not to be trusted.
Secondly,
it survey “adults,” not “most likely voters,” and
finally,
it refused to disclose the partisan split. As a result,
one does not know how heavily weighted the poll with Democrat
voters.
Our
conclusion: we have, yet, another
worthless poll, intended to benefit
Obama. Let’s not forget that Gallup released
a state by state poll, last week, showing Obama losing in a landslide. Understand that two to three polls will be released, each and every week between now and the election -- 90% will show Obama winning re-election.
Beltway Confidential:
Gallup released their annual state-by-state presidential approval numbers yesterday, and the results should have 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue very worried. If President Obama carries only those states where he had a net positive approval rating in 2011 (e.g. Michigan where he is up 48 percent to 44 percent), Obama would lose the 2012 election to the Republican nominee 323 electoral votes to 215.
Gallup adds:
Overall, Obama averaged 44% job approval in his third year in office, down from 47% in his second year. His approval rating declined from 2010 to 2011 in most states, with Wyoming, Connecticut, and Maine showing a marginal increase, and Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New Jersey, Arizona, West Virginia, Michigan, and Georgia showing declines of less than a full percentage point. The greatest declines were in Hawaii, South Dakota, Nebraska, and New Mexico.
Obama Approval at 50%, Higher Than George W. Bush's at Same Point in Presidency
