More encouraging news overall.
But there are still 12% of Republicans who say they plan to vote for Obama. Those are the real RINOs.
...or they are Republicans with no access to the internet.
LOL, my headline: "Newsweek poll comes back to reality"
These numbers are aren’t bad. There is plenty of time to shore things up. Just wait till McCain picks a VP, the convention, and the debates.
I was painfully stuck in a jury lounge and saw CNN talk about these defectors. They called them "Obamacons".
Probably reverse psychology by Newsweek, hoping to rally the dims. I don’t trust anything from “News-tweak.” Including their polls.
I guess they ran out of Kool Aid and the lysergic acid diethylamide they sweetend it with.
i seriously doubt that 12% of republicans will vote for obama!
either they’re not republicans
or, later when they realize that their taxes are going up,
they’ll get religion.
“obama republicans” is a joke.
Good News! At this rate, November will be a Republican blowout.
There are always Republicans that vote for Democrat. Here is an old story about Kerry Republicans and we know how that turned out.

Obama was a NOBODY before this presidential election cycle. All of a sudden he's the Golden Boy with the media accolades, the fawning talking heads, the zooming ratings.......and for what? He's wet behind the ears and a dozen other Democrats, going by sheer years in the trenches, qualified more than he did.
McCain was in the terlet....campaign broke, crappy ratings, going nowhere. Romney was the star on the Republican side. All of a sudden McCain is the golden boy, Romney fades into the woodwork like the school jock just took his date, and McCain is THE MAN.
What the hell happened? Neither of them deserved where they are today, yet it's like someone did the I Dream of Jeannie blink and they're magically in the lead.
If this last six months doesn't convince you that forces other than voters are pulling the strings, nothing will.
That first poll was out of line with every other poll. I seem to recall Newsweek having issues with polls coming out showing the Dem way out front - it generates a lot of press, some press outfits reporting it over their own polls because it gives the result they want, and that’s it. Now they have a poll that is more in line with others. I guarantee it won’t be as widely reported as the other one.
I just can’t help but think it it were Romney, he would be kicking Obama’s butt right now.
Now, that's what I like to hear! His own base is angry with him, and that's good news to all Americans! Hopefully, this is the beginning of the end of Obamanation!
Party ID
Republican 25
Democrat 35
Independent 33
Other/Don’t know 7
I'll wager Fifty Quatloos that most of them are Democrats who told the pollster that they were Republicans.
Why does Obambi wear lead slips? Is he cross-dressing in Chernobyl?
