Those polls you site are from 2/8 - 2/22. Gallup is from February 23, 2012. Thus more current and not a average over 14 days...

actually - the usa today/gallup poll appears to be an outlier. The averages are Obama +5 against Romney. Rasmussen (a republican leaning pollster has him at +10). All REAL polls...:)

“Romney, Santorum Closely Matched Against Obama Nationally”
PRINCETON, NJ -- “U.S. registered voters are closely divided in their 2012 presidential election preferences between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, and between Obama and Rick Santorum. Romney is slightly ahead of Obama, 50% to 46%, while Obama edges Santorum, 49% to 48%, but neither of these differences is statistically significant”

Republicans most certainly have chance.
Was most certainly a bloody battle buma went through with MS Clinton. Not a sure win for debt king...
buma in "religious dark ages ". Helped stop same sex marriage in CA.

it;s their own fault,the republicans had a chance to have a person of substance with john huntsman.
instead they have among their field a religious dark ages zealot,someone who reminds people of clark griswold and a narcissistic philander.
little wonder that the voters are not impressed.
