RCP Average is worthless since they include outliers that heavily skew the results

Rassmussen and Gallup are the two to keep an eye on. The others are mostly junk.

Yay. One America-hating, Israel-insulting Marxist beating another.

Averaging Gallup and Rasmussen still gives Obama +3

It’s still early, and the national poll is never the real issue. The issue is the state polls since electoral college votes determine the presidency.

Also, for the most part I prefer the likely voter polls to the registered voter polls, but this early in the campaign, there’s plenty of time for events to change registered into likely.

But, the bottom line for me is that the media has been bending over backward to make Romney look good, Obama is in a bad run with scandals all over the place, and he is still ahead to even.

It doesn’t look good for Romney

That is inaccurate. It actually looks very promising for Romney....not a single one of those pools has the incumbent cracking 50%...not even the ones that have skewed samples.

If this were a conservative republican incumbent that I was really pulling for, I’d be worried.

America will fail just as surely under the slow drip of Socialism Lite as it will under the hangman’s noose of Marxism.

No thanks.

Thanks a bunch Mitt. You put personal ambition ahead of anything else and will screw us all one way or the other.

Averaging those two polls ALREADY gives Obama a 3+ advantage.

Your boy is already toast, already a dead-man walking.

And the general election campaign hasn't even started yet.

Thanks GOP-E, and wobbly conservatives.

Actually, the only one of these (don’t know about this most recent one) that measures LIKELY voters has Romney ahead.

Exactly... conservatives loudly warned against nominating Romney, but were ignored.

Romney has no chance; he never did. He knows it and the Repub elites know it.

Yes. I think Santorum would fare far better against Obama because he was an actual opposition candidate.

McCain stood a better chance against Romney even before picking Palin. Romney is going to lose and lose big.

You're supporting him here on FreeRepublic, your protestations notwithstanding and you are voting for him. He's your boy.

Yes, Both would be doing better than Romney, much, much better, if Romney had not done a character assasination on him and the GOP-E through FoxNews and other hadn't done the same.

Newt or Santorum or Perry were attacked so viciously by their own guy, Romney, that it’s impossible to say how they would be doing.

The lies told about the other candidates, and the misrepresentations and lies about himself, mean that Romney has stuck republicans in intramural warfare, suspicion, and ambivalence.

He has split his party, he has sapped it of drive, and the turnout numbers prove it.

Romney never had a chance from the beginning. He should be far ahead at this point if he was going to win against Obama. The only direction he has to go with his record and the Media totally in the tank for Obama is down.

Obama will wipe the floor with him and his loss is going to make McCain's loss look like a win.

Thanks to the GOP-E, and wobbly conservatives like you.

Thanks for nothing.

In my short 40 years I’ve never seen the Republicans blow such a wonderful opportunity to contrast themselves against the radical anti-Semitic race baiting communist who is now the standard of the Democrat party. They blew it before it even started, all for Thomas Dewey II. (And I’m being rude to Dewey because he had twice the charisma of Romney.)
