New Gallup Poll: Romney Posts Modest Gains

The Gallup Poll ^ | 08/20/08 | Frank Newport

When people start paying a little attention, around Christmas time, Romney will rise in the polls.

The pro-life wing of the Republican party will reject Giuliani. Thompson is not telegenic enough to win the general election. Romney's weaknesses are his flip-flopping on abortion and his religion, but these can be overcome. He's not my preferred candidate, but he's the one that's most likely to win the nomination and beat the abortion-lovers, Obama and Hilary.

[Reaganesque]

What's pathetic is that you fail to mention that the 44% you reference includes Democrats.

From Rasmussen:

The Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 44% of Likely Voters would definitely vote against Romney if he’s on the ballot in 2008.

Now there's a shocker! There are Democrats who would never vote for a Republican. Imagine that!

Are you really incapable of reading the poll results?

Perhaps there are some night courses you could take at the local community college.

At the same time, Romney's unfavorable rating among Republicans dropped from 20% to 16%

I hear they have those Reading Comprehension for Dummies books on sale right now. Hurry.

It might be something to do with his contract on “Law And Order”. If he’s on a TV show at the same time he’s running for President, that might be a problem.

I’m not paying much attention yet, though. Whoever the nominee is, I’ll vote for him. Even Giuliani or McCain if it comes to that.

[JohnnyZ]

No, dinkus. That's why I said it was time to let go of your ancient poll.

Date of Rasmussen poll I quoted and linked to: Wednesday, August 22, 2007

The Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 44% of Likely Voters would definitely vote against Romney if he’s on the ballot in 2008. That’s a point higher than the 43% who would definitely vote against Clinton. Only one other possible candidate surpassed Clinton in this category all year (former House Speaker Newt Gingrich who is not considered a candidate at this time).

Elizabetty: "Are you really incapable of reading the poll results?"

Considering you posted on the thread that I sourced..... wow. You really have comprehension problems.

16% say they would definitely vote FOR Romney

44% say they would definitely vote AGAINST Romney

That is absolutely pathetic. Yes, that includes Republicans, Democrats, and Independents -- nice to see Mitt has already alienated the swing voters who don't want some phony finger-in-the-wind BS artist.

Screaming does not make your argument or that poll any more realistic. I’m sorry, squirrelboy.

ROFL..... gotta type big to get y'all's attention -- sorry to interrupt your fantasy world with a big bucket of ice water :D :D :D

Oh, carry on, keep pretending it's not important that 25% of Republicans say they will never vote for Romney in the general election :D :D :D

[elizabetty]

The people polled in the other poll INCLUDES DEMOCRATS!

It does not matter how many democrats will not vote for Romney in the Republican primaries.

By the way
What's with the really BIG WORDS in your posts, overcompensating for some shortcoming?

[JohnnyZ]

It does not matter how many democrats will not vote for Romney in the Republican primaries.

It matters that Mitt is unelectable in the general election.

It matters that 25% of Republicans say they won't vote for Mitt in the general.

It matters that 41% of Independent say they won't vote for him.

Of course, that's already been pointed out to you, but you Romney worshipers are blind to anything negative about your annointed one.

>>>Oh, carry on, keep pretending it's not important that 25% of Republicans say they will never vote for Romney in the general election :D :D :D<<<



Interested?

[JohnnyZ]

Your habitat, eh?

[Brices Crossroads]

You can explain it to them. But you cannot make them understand it. The Mittbots are in De Nile. LOL

[CheyennePress]

Beat you to it... ;)

[JohnnyZ]

Um.... you were racing to stick your head in the sand...?

[lonevoice]

Romney worshipers are blind to anything negative about your annointed one.

Just curious. Which annointed one are you worshipping?

[JohnnyZ]

Just curious. Which annointed one are you worshipping?

I stick to worshiping God.

There are a couple presidential candidates I like, some more than others. I like Duncan Hunter the best, but I'd be happy supporting Fred in the general.

I see, but I'm still curious. Why is it that you worship God, and either like or support presidential candidates, but you believe people who support Romney's candidacy worship him as the annointed one? To me, the hyperbole of the language diminishes the points you're trying to make.

[JohnnyZ]

but you believe people who support Romney's candidacy worship him as the annointed one?

Blind adherence to his Mittness and refusal to admit any evidence of his imperfection. Mitt worshipers refuse to accept the veracity of any article that has any negative information on him. They even deny that quotes attributed to Mitt are true, even if they're documented on video.

That kind of blind adherence to a politician is unnatural and disturbing.

[WFTR]

It’s all about whether he can build an organization in Florida the way he did in Iowa. If he does, he has a good chance. If he doesn’t, these gains in the polls are meaningless.
