RINO Mitt Romney would beat Obama in Pennsylvania?

mitt-romneyTake this with a grain of salt (Michael Bloomberg is in New York.) But according to left wing PPP polling outfit, which is used by some left wing kooky sites as Daily Kos, Obama’s numbers are so dismal in Pennsylvania, that RINO Mitt Romney would probably beat him in a state that hasn’t voted Republican for president since 1988. The poll finds Romney and Obama tied at 45% But if you go by the so called undecided vote, their approval of Marxist Obama is only at 24%, likely leading them to vote for Romney is he is the nominee.

Obama and Romney are tied at 45% each but if you dig in on the undecided voters only 24% of them approve of Obama’s job performance to 70% who disapprove. They may not be completely sold on Romney yet but for the most part if you don’t approve of the incumbent President, you’re not going to vote for him. If those folks really had to make a decision today it’s likely they’d move in Romney’s direction and hand him the state.

The Pennsylvania numbers are a clear reminder that Romney is probably the only one of the Republican candidates who can beat Obama at this point though. Obama leads Newt Gingrich by a 49-43 margin. Gingrich may be the top choice of GOP voters right now but he just doesn’t have Romney’s appeal to independents and Democratic voters. While Romney leads Obama by 2 points with independents, Gingrich trails by 4. And while Romney gets 15% of the Democratic vote against Obama, Gingrich gets only 11%. Obama’s prospects for reelection will get a lot brighter if Gingrich’s momentum continues.
