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. Ask the Political Class, though, and it’s a blowout. While 58% of Mainstream voters favor Paul, 95% of the Political Class vote for Obama. But Republican voters also have decidedly mixed feelings about Paul, who has been an outspoken critic of the party establishment. 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. Paul, a anti-big government libertarian who engenders unusually strong feelings among his supporters, was an unsuccessful candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008. But he continues to have a solid following, especially in the growing Tea Party movement. Twenty-four percent (24%) of voters now consider themselves a part of the Tea Party movement, an eight-point increase from a month ago. Another 10% say they are not a part of the movement but have close friends or family members who are. (Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook. Thirty-nine percent (39%) of all voters have a favorable opinion of Paul, while 30% view him unfavorably. This includes 10% with a very favorable opinion and 12% with a very unfavorable one. But nearly one-out-of-three voters (32%) are not sure what they think of Paul. Perhaps tellingly, just 42% of Republican voters have a favorable view of him, including eight percent (8%) with a very favorable opinion. By comparison, 42% of unaffiliated voters regard him favorably, with 15% very favorable toward him. 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. Similarly, 27% of Republicans see Paul as a divisive force in the party, while 30% view him as a new direction for the GOP. Forty-two percent (42%) aren’t sure. Among all voters, 19% say Paul shares the values of most Republican voters, and 27% disagree. Fifty-four percent (54%) are undecided. Twenty-one percent (21%) of voters nationwide regard Paul as a divisive force in the GOP. Thirty-four percent (34%) say he is representative of a new direction for the party. Forty-five percent (45%) are not sure. But it’s important to note than 75% of Republicans voters believe Republicans in Congress have lost touch with GOP voters throughout the nation over the past several years. Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and the GOP’s vice presidential nominee in 2008, is another Republican who has been bucking the party’s traditional leadership and was the keynote speaker at the recent Tea Party convention in Nashville. Fifty-nine percent (59%) of Republican voters say Palin shares the values of most GOP voters throughout the nation. Just 18% of Republicans see Palin as a divisive force within the GOP. Rasmussen Reports released survey findings yesterday that take a closer look at the political views of those who say they’re part of the Tea Party movement. Among other things, 96% of those in the movement think America is overtaxed, and 94% trust the judgment of the American people more than that of America’s political leaders. When it comes to major issues confronting the nation, 48% of voters now say the average Tea Party member is closer to their views than Obama is. Forty-four percent (44%) hold the opposite view and believe the president’s views are closer to their own. Fifty-two percent (52%) believe the average member of the Tea Party movement has a better understanding of the issues facing America today than the average member of Congress. Thirty-five percent (35%) of voters now think Republicans and Democrats are so much alike that an entirely new political party is needed to represent the American people. Nearly half (47%) of voters disagree and say a new party is not needed If the Tea Party was organized as a political party, 34% of voters would prefer a Democrat in a three-way congressional race. In that hypothetical match-up, the Republican gets 27% of the vote with the Tea Party hopeful in third at 21%. However, if only the Democrat or Republican had a real chance to win, most of the Tea Party supporters would vote for the Republican.

Rasmussen is about the best, so this is rather amazing considering the disdain the elite have for him. It's too bad Sarah "Kiss my Torah" Palin, or Romney will be given the blessing.
someone needs to tell moldi box and the rest of her half wit troglodytes that the kook is what real americans are supporting.

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one. "You've got to put right and wrong above legal and illegal. Because when tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty; and it is not rebellion at all, it is submission to the higher law that our government is in rebellion to. We're not the rebels, they're the rebels."
Ask the Political Class, though, and it’s a blowout. While 58% of Mainstream voters favor Paul, 95% of the Political Class vote for Obama. Final result: Paul 41% Obama 57%, 2% for the Libertarian party candidate.
These two sentences differ by less than three percent, by just three letters and just one consonant when spoken. deleted

You and alot of on here know that the elections are rigged. There is no way the PTB will ever let anyone , let alone Ron Paul sit on the throne. Ron Paul could announce a third party run, drop out of the republican party, name Jim Traficant or Judge Napolitano as a running mate and have Jesus as his campaign chairman, and he'd still lose. Taking back this country can only happen when Mr Smith and Mr. Wesson get involved. Other than that, what you see is what you're gonna get more of.
the woman is unable to discern with any skill who is who. you can't look at palin, a female gwb, and tell this chick is a patsy? she's somehow being shown as popular despite having no grasp of anything more complicated than making icecubes? and she also was a big fat bushtard. shitballs....c'mon man.... i'm supposed to think she's not a tool? nah, she's a zionist stooge.

This all looks good.................until the fixer does his thing. Elections have been as dishonest as the politicians they boost for my whole lifetime(56 years). I like Ron Paul and think he'd be the best President since...................well ever, really. Close with Jefferson. TPTB are never going to allow anyone who isn't on their team(ZOG) be elected to any position that has a chance to change anything. Our only hope appears to be secession, or at the very least nullification.
within all tyranny are the seeds of destruction. and you can guarantee that, if fixing elections will hasten the demise of the fedgov, then that is exactly the course they will take. you will be seeing a return the the republic, and its already happening.

its basic wisdom, human behavior. lusters after power have to be necessarily blind by the very nature of lust. once they have taken leave of their senses and higher reasoning, they are not able to tactically move, to tell when the con is falling apart, etc. i have been saying this for several years, most people remain fixated on doom, as if human history won't apply to this situation. simply looking at some of the chinese dynasties and confucian teachings will bear out my this happening many times throughout history.

Is anyone surprised by this?
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." Yet you will run across people who still believe there is no conspiracy. I had someone, who doesn't believe a word the government says about AGW, recently tell me that the SPP was not a precursor to NAU. For proof he offered the SPP web site. He also claimed that CFR did not advocate a one world government, proof again was CFR web site and their publications. Did I mention he is also a freeper who won't come play here?
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." Some freepers are truly beyond hope, or redemption. They simply refuse to confront, and see, reality.
Did I mention he was a precinct chair for...guess which party?
"With respect to the words general welfare, I have always regarded them as qualified by the detail of powers connected with them. To take them in a literal and unlimited sense would be a metamorphosis of the Constitution into a character which there is a host of proofs was not contemplated by its creators." Exactly. Just look at the GOP moving heaven and hell to defeat Rand Paul in Kentucky, his opponent is a complete moron with endorsements from all the GOP faithful.
_________________________________________________________________________ It is my observation that most Freeptards get their "programming" from Faux Nooze, "Pills Limbaugh", Sean Vannity, and other turds in the Punch Bowl. They are fully primed with the latest disinformation which they regard as Gospel. Particularly they regard as "Holy Writ" anything spewed by the Homo Pedophile Drug Addict Limbaugh. Limbaugh who spends a lot of time using the "Scarlet 'C'" to "Dead Agent" (destroy the credibility of something or someone by providing contradictory refuting information or opinions) anything which the controlling Banksters want discredited but don't have the facts to do so.
