One thing that’s very encouraging to me is on the day of election, when REAL PEOPLE actually vote, republicans tend to easily outperform what the pre-election polls indicate. Speaking of WI, the recall election is a good example of this. Walker was either slightly down, or ‘dead heat’ in the polls, and he easily retained his office(...the dems threw everything they had at him). I could go on and on.
Even in 2008, McCain was up for the slaughter according to the polls. Though he lost badly, it wasn’t THAT bad when real votes were cast/counted.
With Romney up 1, or tied, I’m really liking his chances! Especially considering how even in the loaded polls, 0bama can hardly EVER manage to pull the magic 50% mark. I believe he has a ceiling somewhere in the 45-48% neighborhood.
pew did NOT have obama at 50%... they PROJECTED him winning with 50%. cnn has him at 50% with an 11% plus “D” turnout. Both are impossible and one is just an outright guess made of wishes and dreams.
