New Rasmussen Poll Shows Perry As Only Republican Candidate Beating Obama (All Others Trail)

And Rasmussen is a Right-leaning polling agency.

From Ace:
Prior to this poll, Rasmussen -- oddly, Republican-leaning Rasmussen -- has always had Obama ahead in head-to-head match-ups, against any candidate, except, apparently, for a period earlier in the year, where Romney edged Obama:
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney currently trails the president by four percentage points, 43% to 39%. That’s a slight improvement for the Republican compared to a week ago. Earlier in the year, Romney held a one-point edge when matched against the president. Prior to today’s release, that was the only time a named Republican has held any kind of lead over President Obama.

Whether or not it is right leaning, it is the most accurate year after year after year.

I did not know that. Thanks.

It has been my inclination from having talked with people, and from my observation of behavior over the years, that the Republicans do not, at all, have this locked up, even though people are VERY frustrated with Obama.

Obama is a much better politician than Bush the Elder or Jimmy Carter.
