Didn’t get a chance to post these with the primary numbers earlier, so here’s some more fodder for discussion:
NBC / Wall Street Journal General Election Matchups (PDF)
- Obama – 50%
- Pawlenty – 37%
- Obama – 49%
- Romney – 43%
Survey of an unspecified number of registered voters was taken June 9-13.
Not sure why they only polled Romney and Pawlenty against Obama, but there you go.
Mainly, I needed to do another post to give a shoutout to Massachusetts Conservative, who, in my completely and utterly subjective editorial opinion, came the closest to guessing the GOP horserace numbers for this poll. He had Bachmann (who polled lower than anyone expected) further down and Cain higher up his list, and pegged Gingrich, Pawlenty, and Paul exactly. Huckarubio and Smack1968 get honorable mention.

Yeah! Honorable Mention!!!! I’ll take it

Thank you Matt C!!!
Honorable Mention baby!!!!
This will help with my transition of finally coming off the ledge that I have been perched on since the debate debacle.
Congrats Massachusetts Conservative.

The next step in Mitt’s seemingly unstoppable surge to the nomination?
Endorsement time! Watch for a steady flow all summer.

BTW,
The mass mailing that has been sent out in Iowa today……..focusing on TPAW’s record in nominating conservative judges to the MN courts…well……let’s just say….
..that a very special someone from RACE42012 had a small part with the execution of the mass mailing.
..ahem…ahem…
The TPAW TORCHES lighting up Iowa.
Try to keep up Bachmann.
The Smack talk is back in the Smack!!!!
YEEASSSSS!!
Iowa is TPAW country!

Smack good luck with that. Hope he can at least give a good showing there. He’s my second choice.
June 16th, 2011 at 8:27 am
I’ll challenge this data. I don’t think Obama could get re-elected today.

===================================
And the moon is made of blue cheese, good luck with that one. But hey, the better TPaw does, the better for Romney. Split the Iowa vote, and Romney will slide in for the Victory

The moon is made of cheese? I love cheese!!!
Smack, good to have you back to your old self. What a difference a day makes!

9. I think the difference was a keg.

Huckarubio,
I’ve been in Iowa since Tuesday. The TPAW camp got a beautiful mailer out……….no more crying.
It’s time to dig in and see if we can beat Bachmann in Ames.
