Congressman Ron Paul has once again been proven a top tier presidential candidate in a new aggregate survey combining poll results from over twelve different mainstream sources.
The comprehensive survey, compiled by Real Clear Politics, reveals that Paul is second only to Mitt Romney when directly pitted against Obama.
The RCP survey draws results from polls carried out by Quinnipiac, Rasmussen Reports, Democracy Corps (D), Associated Press, Time, PPP, NBC News, Wall Street Journal, CNN, Washington Post, Reuters and Gallup.
Paul scores an average of 41.6% to Obamas 47.6%, with only Romney bettering that 6% difference.
The results of the survey were as follows:
1. Obama vs. Romney: 46.0 (D) 44.3 (R) Obama +1.7
2. Obama vs. Paul: 47.6 (D) 41.6 (R) Obama +6
3. Obama vs. Cain: 48.6 (D) 41.2 (R) Obama +7.4
4. Obama vs. Huntsman: 45.7 (D) 37.0 (R) Obama +8.7
5. Obama vs. Perry: 49.6 (D) 40.4 (R) Obama +9.3
6. Obama vs. Gingrich: 48.7 (D) 38.0 (R) Obama +10.7
7. Obama vs. Bachmann: 51.8 (D) 37.6 (R) Obama +14.2
Paul vs Obama would represent the establishments worst nightmare on every front.
These surveys yet again demonstrate that Ron Paul is a competitive candidate, despite what the mainstream media would have us believe. Even without the corporate media-promotion and general name recognition, Ron Paul is competitively matched against the President. The Ron Paul cant win hoax is yet again dispelled by statistical numbers.
As we have previously noted, Ron Paul has to look to attracting supporters away from Romney, who is fairing well among moderate/liberal Republicans.
It is for this reason that Obama aides have openly admitted they would prefer not to run against Romney. Of course, in line with their corporate media mouthpieces, the White House is still pretending Ron Paul doesnt exist.
Speaking of corporate mouthpieces, a hilarious situation ensued earlier this week when Bill OReilly decided to throw a GOP straw poll on his National Town Hall Radio show.
When Ron Paul finished up the winner, OReilly read out the results, omitting the Congressmans name and declaring that he had disqualified Paul from the poll for being too popular.
OReilly claimed that Paul supporters had slammed the poll, giving a bumbling technical description comprised of we have technology guys, we know what you are doing.
OReilly went on to declare that Ron Paul
is not going to be the nominee, theres no chance in the world that he will be nominated for the Republican run at President Obama.
