2012 Voter Preferences for Obama, "Republican" Remain Close

Forty-four percent prefer the Republican; 39%, Obama

by Jeffrey M. Jones

PRINCETON, NJ -- Forty-four percent of registered voters say they are more likely to vote for "the Republican Party's candidate" and 39% for Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election, according to Gallup's June update. The current five-percentage-point edge for the generic Republican is not a statistically significant lead, and neither side has held a meaningful lead at any point thus far in 2011.

That's one poll. In the average of RCP, Pres. Obama beats the generic Republican 44% to 41.8% on 4/16. Yesterday's poll showed him winning by 45% to 40.8%. Polls this early are meaningless, Brad. Talk to me next June.

Because polls 18 months out mean so much and carry so much weight.
