CBS News poll says Obama holds edge over GOP hopefuls
New York, Feb.15 (ANI): U.S. President Barack Obama holds a significant lead over each of his potential Republican opponents in the general election, according to a poll released Tuesday by CBS News and the New York Times.
The new survey shows the president leading Romney by six points, 48 percent to 42 percent, among registered voters. Last month, the two men were tied at 45 percent each.
Obama's lead over former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum is eight points: 49 percent to 41 percent.
Romney's drop in support against the president is attributable to a shift among independents. Obama holds the edge, leading Romney among independents by nine points.
The president holds double-digit leads over the other two GOP candidates in the race, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. Obama leads Paul 50 percent to 39 percent - an 11 point margin - and he leads Gingrich 54 percent to 36 percent, a difference of 18 points.
The survey was conducted from February 8 to13 among 1,197 adults nationwide. (ANI)
