Ron Paul polls just 4 points below Obama if the two ran head-to-head - latimes.com - July 22, 2011:

"Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), among the most conservative members of the House and for many a long shot in the 2012 presidential race, would be only a 4-point underdog against President Obama at this time, according to a poll released Friday.

"Rasmussen is reporting that Obama is in a virtual tie with Mitt Romney; the former Massachusetts governor is polling 1 point ahead of the president. In polling of Romney versus Obama, the president received 42% compared with Romney's 43%, a tossup considering the margin of error.

"But when Obama is placed next to Paul, the president receives only 41% support - the lowest number he would have against a Republican. Paul got just 37% support against Obama, but the longtime congressman's libertarian beliefs are still unknown to many American voters."
