Re: Paul More Electable than Gingrich? Than Romney??

Geez Michael,  you must really have to scour to find such obtuse articles like this one from..... "Pileous"??  (Who the Hell is Pileious?)  Not counting the fact that what is written here is literally worthless and so far from accurate that it is really pitiful.....How sad that there could be ANYONE in such a state of denial:
 
From Ron Paul's own support page, "Paul:  Liberty Forest":
 
"Rasmussen National Poll: Gingrich 45% Obama 43%"   
 
 
 
BBC:  "Gingrich Has Huge Lead Over Everyone":
 
 
 
Poll: Iowa GOP voters think Gingrich is best choice to face Obama

Gingrich Surges to GOP Top in National Poll
 

CBS:  Iowa voters see Gingrich, Romney as most electable
 
Gingrich has 21-point lead in national poll, 2-point lead over Obama in head-to-head poll:
 
 
 

Iowa Electability (Who can beat Obama?) Gingrich closes Gap….

So much for Mitt Romneys Argument that he is more electable than Newt Gingrich….

According to a new CBS NEWS / NY TIMES Iowa Poll Newt Gingrich has closed up the Electability Gap with Mitt Romney in the State of Iowa…

The new Poll asked the following Question:

Which Candidate do you think has the best chance of defeating Barack Obama in the General Election in November?

Newt Gingrich 31 %

Mitt Romney 29 %

Rick Perry 9 %

Ron Paul 6 %

Herman Cain 5 %

Michelle Bachmann 3 %

Jon Huntsman 1 %

All of Them 5 %

None of Them 2 %

Undecided 9 %

Ron Paul is a much better general election candidate against Obama than either Gingrich or Romney in Iowa, and in New Hampshire Paul comes fairly close to Romney against Obama. That's one surprising takeaway from a just-released Marist poll for NBC News of Iowa and New Hampshire voters ( pdf here). Marist is a high-quality polling outlet, so their numbers deserve to be taken seriously. Here are the stats:

Iowa
Gingrich 37%, Obama 47%
Romney 39%, Obama 46%
Paul 42%, Obama 42%

New Hampshire
Gingrich 39%, Obama 49%
Romney 46%, Obama 43%
Paul 42%, Obama 44%

In Iowa, a Democratic-leaning state at the presidential level, only Paul seems to have any chance against Obama. Indeed, his numbers in favor are larger than those for Gingrich or Romney (the latter difference might not quite be statistically significant), indicating that his relative strength against the incumbent is not simply due to lack of name recognition.

In New Hampshire, the well-known, local Romney does better than Paul, but Paul gets within the margin of error against Obama.

Marist also surveyed likely caucus and primary voters in the two states. The New Hampshire line looks like this: Romney 39, Gingrich 23, Paul 16, Huntsman 9, Perry 3, Bachmann 3, Cain 2, Santorum 1. Cain's exit will have little impact on this race, and my guess is that Huntsman and Paul are to some degree competing for the same pool of voters. Iowa looks like this: Gingrich 26, Romney 18, Paul 17, Perry 9, Cain 9, Bachmann 5, Santorum 5, Huntsman 2. Cain's dropping out is unlikely to benefit Romney, so Paul looks set for second place in the next poll here.

Are pundits underestimating the extent to which some voters want to send a message about no more wars, bailouts, or assaults on constitutional liberties, even if it means voting for a "radical" candidate?
