WASHINGTON — For the first time, Texas Gov. Rick Perry leads President Barack Obama in a national poll, 44 percent to 41 percent, while his GOP rivals trail in head-to-head matchups against the president.
The new Rasmussen poll signals a breakthrough for Perry, who trailed Obama by 3 percentage points in last week’s Rasmussen poll.
The latest survey of 1,000 likely voters, released Thursday, was conducted Aug. 23-30 and has an error margin of 3 percentage points, equal to the margin between Perry and Obama in the poll results.
