Ron Paul at 10% in New CNN Poll; Paul Does Best Against Obama

CNN's new national presidential preference poll, out just hours ago, shows Dr. Paul at 10 percent. Huckabee is at 16% Trump 14% Romney 13% Palin 11% Paul 10% Gingrich 10% No other candidate polled over 5% percent.

CNN reports:

According to the poll, taken before the announcement of Osama bin Laden's death, President Barack Obama has an edge over all the top GOP candidates in hypothetical match-ups.

Who does best against Obama? Paul. The congressman from Texas, who also ran as a libertarian candidate for president in 1988 and who is well liked by many in the tea party movement, trails the president by only seven points (52 to 45 percent) in a hypothetical general election showdown. Huckabee trails by eight points, with Romney down 11 points to Obama.
