Despite simply terrible economic news and horrid 9.1% unemployment, Obama beats all the GOP contenders by comfortable margins. It's so pathetic, in fact, that I will simply post Romney's numbers, since the flip-flopping RomBot is the strongest candidate the GOP has to go up against Obama. Obama leaves all other GOP candidates in the dust:

Obama 51%
Romney 38%

Obama 48%
Romney 41%

Obama Approval Drops, Romney Tops GOP Preference - FoxNews.com (http://www.foxnews.com/interactive/us/2011/06/08/obama-approval-drops-romney-tops-gop-preference/ - broken link)

Obama 47%
Romney 41%

National (US) Poll * June 8, 2011 * Romney Leads GOP Pack, Runs Be - Quinnipiac University – Hamden, Connecticut

You would think that in these dire economic times, a businessman and "economic genius" like Romney should be light-years ahead of Obama by double-digits. But this is not what we're seeing. I wonder why this is...

Haha, in all of my years of selecting to be openly contacted for party/voter purposes, I have yet to get polled.

and if you continue to read these stories you will see comments like, The Republican race is still forming, thus these polls mean very little. Whether you are pro or apposed to Obama, Paul, Romney, whomever, nothing being posted now has much baring on anything. Let's see what shapes up as we get closer to a real Republican candidate. I am not saying Obama will not win or will not lead in the polls, I am saying, enjoy your polls results now, cause they could change at anytime.

well I have sorta: once or twice in the past election (2010) I got calls from local candidates, so I guess I was being polled and once many years ago (like 35 or so) some guy came to my door and was doing a poll on some prop on the Ca ballot. The only problem, the questions were so obscuire (spelling) I had no idea what he was polling me on. I think it had to do with the grape growers in the central valley. basically you are right, rarely do any of us really get polled.

If you read the title, you would have noticed fox, Reuters/Ipsos and Quinnipiac....

Romney has led Obama in one poll (the last ABC poll), Obama led every other Republican in that poll, and leads Romney and every Republican in every other poll as well (including the latest Fox News Poll, The Ipsos/Reuters poll, and the Qunnipiac poll all mentioned in the title.
