Poll: Obama would beat Rick Perry (and Sarah Palin) in Texas — but lose to Ron Paul and other Republicans

Will the Lone Star state turn blue in 2012?

It isn’t likely — unless Gov. Rick Perry jumps in the ring and clinches the Republican nomination, a new poll from the Public Policy Polling group found.

In the poll’s match-ups, President Barack Obama loses Texas to every notable Republican except Perry and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. If the ballot came down to Perry and Obama, 47 percent of poll respondents said they would vote for Obama. Forty-five percent said they would cast a ballot for Perry.

The most elected Republican in the poll? Mitt Romney.

The poll found that Obama would garner 42 percent of the Texas vote to 50 percent for the former Massachusetts governor. The president trailed Texas Rep. Ron Paul, R-Lake Jackson, by 5 percentage points, 40 percent to 45 percent.

but they gave 'Perry Watch' billing before 'Paul Watch' :(

That is the weirdest article the way it is written.

This is good but why do Texans like Romney so much?

There is a lot of goof balls down here... Sometimes I feel like driving down to Ron Paul's district and just start hugging people.

Good point. How come people in Ron's district are so "with it", while the rest of the majority of Texans are out of touch?
