Latest Rasmussen (today) has Obama +1 over Santorum in a general election:

I remember in 2008 everyone said the republicans had to nominate a moderate as the only way to beat Obama. They nominated the most moderate republican there was, John "The Maverick" McCain. Didn't work out too well for them. In 1980, everyone said, "Don't nominate a nut-job conservative like Reagan. Go with a moderate like Dole instead. Carter's against the ropes and we need a moderate to take him down." Reagan cleaned Carter's clock.
