“You must be referring to Rasmussen. But in the same poll, they did a comparison of Cain against Obama and it came out 48% Obama and 37% Cain. In the same poll a month ago, Cain had a slight lead over Obama.”
The head-to-heads simply don’t matter at this point. To the general public, Cain is that black pizza guy that hits on women. That’s it. But once he’s the nominee, then EVERYTHING changes.
Reagan had the same problem 32 years ago. People were CONVINCED that he would blow up the world, and he didn’t stand a prayer against Carter. The Dems very much preferred to run against Reagan, rather than Bush-41. They got what they wanted and Reagan won the first of his two landslides. Every changed once Reagan was the nominee. Same with Obama in the other direction...he was the EASY candidate to beat (versus Hillary), no experience, a checkered past - while the Republicans had a guy with more political experience than virtually anyone that’s ever run. Obama in a near-landslide.
So those polls mean NOTHING today, and most of the time, they predict the wrong way.
So which is it? If it favors your point of view, it is valid, and if it does not, it is bogus?
