Rick Santorum is now the stronger general election candidate against President Obama. I assume the reason for that is he inspires social theocratic fascists and is largely unknown to the rest of the general nonpartisan population, while Romney is now pretty much hated by everyone everywhere.
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY — PRESIDENT
A new Associated Press-GfK poll finds that only 23% of Republican primary voters are strongly satisfied with the field and 40% said they are dissatisfied with the candidates running. Meanwhile, just 40% of Republicans say they have a great deal of interest in following the contest, compared with 48% in December.
