Election 2012: Generic Presidential Ballot - Rasmussen Reports™
In Iowa only one candidate is not being beaten by Obama

NBC News/Marist Poll: Sunday, December 4, 2011

Obama Ties Paul…Leads Rest of GOP Field, But Only Has Majority against Bachmann In hypothetical contests with potential Republican challengers, President Barack Obama bests his competition with one exception.
Against Paul, 42% of registered voters in Iowa support Obama while the same proportion -- 42% -- backs Paul.

vote for Republican nominee
That is pretty much my plan. Except if Ron Paul, Huntsman or Gary Johnson is not the GOP nominee, I will vote for Obama. There is no possible way that I am going to vote for a sleazeball like Gingrich or Romney and the rest of the GOP theocrat candidates make me want to puke.

They're not. Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen are. I'll give you one more shot at it, but this time read first, then comment.

Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen, pollsters for Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, say that Rasmussen Reports has “an unchallenged record for both integrity and accuracy.”

I think these numbers still would depend on the Republican candidate. Example, its clear that Santorum and Bachmann would lose in a general match up.

Congratulations! You can link to a website that claims Rasmussen has a great record! Say, what website is that? Oh ... it's Rasmussen's website ...

Here in the real world, Rasmussen was the worst major pollster in 2010. The worst. By a mile.
