CBS News Poll analysis by the CBS News Polling Unit: Sarah

Dutton,
Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus and Anthony Salvanto.

Four out of ten Republicans believe Mitt Romney would be the

most
likely
candidate to beat President Obama in the general election,

according to
a new CBS News poll.

Romney, who has lingered at or near the top of the polls since

the
beginning of the 2012 presidential race, led Herman Cain CUT

by a
2-to-1
margin with 40 percent support.

Cain trailed in the category with just 20 percent, followed by

Newt
Gingrich and Rick Perry, each with six percent. Thirteen

percent of
respondents said they didn't know which candidate was most

likely to
beat Mr. Obama.

Electability, however, was not most Republicans' top priority

when
selecting a candidate: 58 percent said they believe it's more

important
to have a nominee who agrees with them on the issues than one

who can
beat Mr. Obama next year. Thirty-nine percent said the

opposite.

Love it.

Game, set, match.


I'm not sure what the point is of having a candidate who agrees

with you
on all the issues rather than one who disagrees on some but who

has a
chance of getting elected but, hey, if the Repubs want to

nominate a
loser like Gingrich, Cain, or Perry, it's fine with me.


And you base your opinion on what?


And what if Cain comes through with the polygraph and is

innocent? Could
turn this race real quick.



Don't know much about polygraphs, eh? They're bull****.
