For the first time ever, Texas Congressman Ron Paul also leads the president. In that matchup, 43% prefer Paul and 41% Obama.

Paul has the biggest gender gap of any GOP hopeful. The libertarian congressman leads by 13 among men and trails by eight among women. Paul also picks up 15% of the vote from self-identified liberals.

Paul now joins Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Santorum and Gingrich as front-runners who have led the president in a single Rasmussen Reports poll. However, it remains to be seen whether Paul can do what those others have not accomplished and lead the president more than once. So far, the only GOP candidate to do that is Romney.

Rasmussen usually has Paul about 10% behind Obama. Something big must have happened.

And Paul keeps Obama the lowest by stealing independents :D.

Sad that nothing will probably come of it and the lovely MSM never report on it either :-/

This is good :D

This is so awesome but IT NEEDS TO GET OUT. Despite this poll, you're still going to have the professional propagandists in all sectors of the MSM not even bring this up, or only show the results for Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich while skipping Paul, etc. Therefore, and I know I'm definitely not the only one saying this, Ron has to pimp these numbers like no one's business on the national stage several times.

A Rasmussen poll??

As soon as articles start popping up about this we need to drill this into people's head over and over again im totally gonna shove this into my hes unelectable santorum loving father in law's face lol

GRINCH is damaged goods , i wonder what Santorum polled a week ago??

unelectable my ass

"A vote for Santorum or Gingrich is a vote for Obama."

unelectable eh? how's that working for ya MSM?

That is some good news. Please tweet/facebook those numbers. Does anyone know of an actual webpage instead of a homepage that changes?

Anyone have a link to this poll?

AWWWW YEEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Must have a link to the results!

Plaster Washington, North Dakota, Idaho, Vermont, Virginia with this poll folks. This could be huge in proving RP's electability.

I am not sure where they got their numbers but I found this link:

"In a potential Election 2012 matchup, the president leads Mitt Romney 45% to 43%." So why does Drudge have it the other way around? And I don't see Paul on it.

Ok thanks. I was looking at the 26th for some reason. I went back and now its on today's date.

Its too bad this poll didn't happen a couple days ago. It doesn't leave a lot of time to promote the news before MI and AZ.

She was receiving tons of criticism on her Facebook wall, so she pulled a Gingrich/Santorum by locking it. Lol

This. Is. Awesome.

Can someone please explain to me how Romney would beat Obama in an election? Unless we RP supporters are willing to go out and vote for Romney, I see this as impossible. I think these surveys are flawed. They probably ask them in a way like "What if your only choice was between Romney and Obama?" But the reality is, MOST RP supporters are going to either vote 3rd party or stay home (or vote RP as an indy). So I don't get it.

Because Ron Paul supporters stay supporters, in theory this gap should only increase. Surely the republican party cannot ignore a significant margin for RP vs BO come the convention? Especially if the others don't come close.

The poll also shows that Ron Paul takes away the most votes away from Obama, very important.

what i enjoy is the fact that frothy and Noot arent even close to RP in these numbers. The media can't spin this in a way to say "all candidates are ahead of obama"

They could spin it as "another surge" though
