A poll released Wednesday showed that in a hypothetical match-up for the presidency, President Barack Obama would defeat Texas Gov. Rick Perry among Texas voters by a margin of 45-47 percent. The findings put an exclamation point on the Republican governor's bizarre claim that he is a "prophet" because he's "not generally loved in his hometown." Texas is dominated by Republicans, who hold a super majority in the legislature. According to data from the Democrat-affiliated group Public Policy Polling, a large majority (59 percent) of Texans do not want their governor to seek the presidency, and only 33 percent would support him if he did. Overall, the poll found that 55 percent of Texans rate Perry's job performance negatively, compared to 42 percent who say he's done a good job. Perry, who took the office after the Supreme Court named George W. Bush President of the United States in 2000, is the nation's longest serving governor, having won three terms. Since 2008, Texas has seen unemployment nearly double, alongside a doubling of the number of workers who are paid minimum wage or less. In that same time, the state's budget deficit also widened to over $25 billion, forcing the legislature to pass dramatic cuts in their most recent session, including $4 billion in reductions for public education.

The funny thing about you posting these rigged polls are you thinking anyone, including libtards would believe them. Thanks for the chuckle, Mr. Independent!
war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
war - obomba ... niggar rigging --- the whole world - country ! Rastafarians - ebonics - drugs - rap music !
If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons are for girlie boys !
Democrat-affiliated group Public Policy Polling No bias in this poll. /s Both Bush and Perry suck, but this bogus data is worthless.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
All polls are meaningless... ...unless they say exactly what I want them to say
...unless they say exactly what I want them to say Indeed!
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
...unless they say exactly what I want them to say Indeed! So you admit you're a purveyor of bullshit. I didn't think you were man enough.

No more or less than yourself. Of course polling for President at this stage of the game is for entertainment purposes only. I'll briefly start paying attention to them after next Feb - June. After that the 'summer numbers' are always skewed but after Labor Day, it is time to tune in for real. Without a doubt, a good time will be had by all!

I'm betting the Oracle of LF is a Dewey man all the way. Who better to beat Truman?
