Somewhat true in that an actual decided nominee will by nature get about a 4-8 point bump. That said they can at least show a general trend.

Properly weighted, the Q-poll head-to-head results would be 47/43 for Romney over Obama, and 46/43 Obama over Gingrich — much closer results, although independents give Obama a +10 in the Gingrich matchup.

If Newt can win over even just a few more independents, I think he can beat Obama. In reality, with Obama only at 46 vs. Gingrich, I think Newt can beat Obama, and rather easily if he plays his cards right. Romney can too, IMHO, but that's like Tang beating Vaseline as a sandwich topping.

Newt can beat Obama..I have no doubt but have concluded that FOX NEWS along with the expected MSM libs are definately committed to Romney. Attacks on every front runner but Mitt...think about it.

Even factoring in a bump, they are worthless. We don’t know the outcome of the debates, the narrative, the economic conditions next year, world events, budget negotiations, or where the republican nominees stand on possible issues such as the EU breakup or who he will stand with in a potential conflict between England and Germany. A lot is going to happen in the next year and how our nominee responds will have much more impact on poll numbers than what can be told right now. Romney doesn’t opine on current events. That won’t cut it moving forward.
