GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has rocketed ahead of President Obama and taken his biggest lead yet in a national head-to-head matchup, a new poll showed today.
Romney topped Obama 45 percent to 39 percent in the Rasmussen Reports survey.
“It’s also the biggest lead a named Republican candidate has held over the incumbent in Rasmussen Reports surveying to date,” said the pollsters.
Romney, a millionaire businessman and former Massachusetts governor, also is among the frontrunners in Iowa’s first-in-the-country nominating contest Tuesday.
A week ago, Romney trailed Obama 44 percent to 41 percent and the week before that held a thin 43 percent to 42 percent edge over the president in Rasmussen polls.
Obama’s 39 percent share of the vote in today’s poll also represents a new low for the president, whose support previously ranged from 40 percent to 46 percent in matchups with Romney.

Just another push by the mainstream media (it is a Reuters story) to push the person THEY want when the reality is that ANYONE on the R side would be a better president than the current disaster.
If you are registered Republicans, vote for whom YOU want in the primaries & NOT for whom the media tells you to vote for. Use your brains, which as republicans you are already one step ahead of the democrat leeches.
#1 – I must vehemently disagree RON PAUL is NOT better than Obama. He is a dangerous man in many fronts.
