Romney is the only candidate leading Obama among registered voters, 48 percent to 46 percent, with 6 percent undecided, according to the new Gallup poll. Perry and Obama are tied at 47 percent among registered voters, also with 6 percent undecided.
Obama would beat Paul, 47 percent to 45 percent, and best Bachmann by a 4-point margin, 48 percent to 44 percent.
“Registered” voters always tend to skew more Democrat than likely and actual voters. When Obama’s only up two points on Ron Paul among them, you know he’s in trouble. Of course, bad news for the president is good news for the country.

Thus, we can use Heinlein’s method: “Consult some well-meaning fool (there is always one around) and ask his advice. Then vote the other way. This enables you to be a good citizen (if such is your wish) without spending the enormous amount of time on it that truly intelligent exercise of franchise requires.”
