Oh snap! Generic Republican 45% Obama 43%

For the first time since Mao Obama has become president, a new Rasmussen poll conducted has a Republican beating him for the 2012 Presidential Election. So much for the Osama/Obama bounce. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that a Generic Republican currently earns support from 45% of Likely Voters across the nation, while the president attracts 43% of the vote. Yet again, it’s the independents who make the difference here (and not in Obama’s favor.)


Eighty-two percent (82%) of Democrats prefer the president, while 83% of Republicans support the generic candidate from their party. Among voters not affiliated with either major party, 42% support the Republican and 36% are ready to vote for President Obama. Last week, the president had a very slight advantage among unaffiliated voters.
