Newsweek Poll: Trump Fares ‘Surprisingly Well’ vs. Obama
A stunning new poll shows that Barack Obama would barely beat business
tycoon Donald Trump in a head-to-head race for the presidency.
In the Newsweek/Daily Beast poll, Obama received 43 percent of the
votes, while Trump — who has announced that he is seriously
considering a run for the White House in 2012 — was right behind with
41 percent.
The survey also found Obama leading Mitt Romney by two percentage
points, 49 percent to 47 percent. In a three-way race with Trump,
Obama got 44 percent, Romney 38 percent, and Trump 8 percent.
But Trump fared far better in a three-way contest involving Sarah
Palin. While Obama received 51 percent to Palin’s 40 percent in a
head-
to-head matchup, with Trump in the race Obama dipped to 48 percent,
Palin plunged to 21 percent, and Trump received 20 percent.
“We found that some of the GOP’s biggest names would be wise to keep
an eye out for Trump, who did surprisingly well,” Newsweek observed.
“Could he play the Ross Perot wild-card role in 2012?”
In a recent interview Trump declared that “there’s a very good chance”
he will run for president, saying, “I hate what’s happening to this
country.
