This is an insane poll. Rasmussen who has consistently been the most reliable poll for presidential politics has 2012 Romney vs. Obama poll out today which shows the two tied.
If the 2012 presidential election were held today, President Obama and possible Republican nominee Mitt Romney would be all tied up at 45% each, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.
The president, seeking a second four-year term, beats another potential GOP rival, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, by six points – 48% to 42%
This should dispell any idea about Obama’s popularity. Pop culture is lagging behind; the president simply isn’t that popular among likely voters. I’m not sure what’s more shocking; the fact that he’s tied with Romney or only six points ahead of Palin. 42% of likely voters would vote for Palin today over Obama.
The high percentage of Palin voters proves pop culture is NOT lagging behind. Obama has his teleprompter and Palin has her tiara and pageant wave.
I’m not sure what you mean? Pop Culture is kind of vague… I think of the roaring crowds for the Tonight Show and Daily Show who boo every time Palin’s name is mentioned.
