CNN Poll: Gender gap and likeability keep Obama over Romney.

Even though Santorum is out of the race for the White House and Romney is the all but certain nominee, the battle for the GOP nomination technically continues. According to the survey, 57% of Republicans say that Romney is their choice for the GOP nominee, with 19% backing Gingrich and 18% supporting Paul.

Contrary to what these numbers appear to be at first look, there is actually some movement for Newt, about 5 points, and, considering the polls were taken in the 3-day period when the MSM, the conservative media, the talk show hosts were crowning and proclaiming Romney the nominee, that is not too bad...

A lot of us have been praying for Newt, and some of us, myself included, have set as the next newt goal in our hearts, getting to 30%... the average of these polls is about 23%, we are getting there. IF he can pull out DE or NC he will be at 30%! Day by day, one step at a time. Next stop - 30%

 

This has a good roundup of all the following polls:

Which poll do ya believe? Gallup has Romney ahead of Obama, who does have personal charm, but his politics are deadly.

Dogs don’t like Obama. Bark Obama!

[Last Dakotan]

Any poll that has Paul at 18% of the electorate is crack.

Likeability? This is like a charm contest between a liver fluke and a heartworm.

[smalltownslick]

Likeability - how in the world does Obama score on likeability? His nastiness shows in his face, his snottiness is there in every remark he makes. There is nothing likeable about him.

[ICE-FLYER]

Totally INVENTED horse crap...No one and I mean absolutely no one can have this many negatives and have so many people skip past their pain to say that he is better. No one is that dumb. This is purposeful CNN invention. They are NOT to be trusted, nor NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC (specially)and most others. This kind of push polling will continue throughout the campaign of distortion and lies.

Uh, I posted it as a springboard to my comment on Newt's inching up in the polls, despite the wall-to-wall coverage of Willard's coronation... that's what I was trying to get a acroos. Looks like I didn't do a very good job :)

There is NO GENDER GAP. And I will repeat that often.
The so-called deficit among women voters comes from one source -- the fact that 95% of black voters, half of whom are women, are voting for Obama. And that skews the overall number.

You can target all women, but the women you need to get aren't "gettable".

You could just as easily say that it's the poor putting Obama over the top. Last survey I saw, Obama and Romney (didn't see a generic GOP candidate) were split pretty evenly at all income levels EXCEPT below $50,000, where Obama has an edge, but not as big of an edge as he had over McCain in 2008.

"Romney is the all but certain nominee.."

What the Communist News Network wants..the Communist News Network gets

...with the help of Fox and Bill O'Reilly the leftist indoctrinated Harvard grad, ...who got Romney..the leftist indoctrinated Harvard grad to go against Obama..the leftist indoctrinated Harvard grad.

America...are we really this stupid?

We very well may be... I guess we'll find out in early November...

I'm hoping we will start to hear lots of barking from the audience at barack's rallies... that kind of stuff gets to him, he can't stand being ridiculed. He'll lost his grip!

Actually, I think there is in every election, a gender gap, I mean. The GOP gets painted as the bogeymen who want to make children starve, and let granny die alone, and a lot of women, every ethnicity, buy into it. It is changing, though, at least I hope so.

I guess you don't get it..we don't have a dog in the fight... in this so-called "election". It's leftist against left...no choice at all! And you support this?

RE: "... no one can have this many negatives and have so many people skip past their pain to say that he is better."

LOL. Conservatives and the Conservative media are doing it en masse re Willard this very moment...

Note from the RNC - Dear Republicans, skip past your pain and vote for Mitt. Sincerely, The King Georgers..

ps And please don't come up on the porch...

The poll I believe is the one that says the democrats are crapping their pants.

Hecklers, dude, chill.

"The poll I believe is the one that says the democrats are crapping their pants.

And exactly how would that be when Romney is their chosen leftist "Republican" tool? It's possible you are mistaking leftist crapping for a leftist a love-feast.

Why don't you just tell me to hush like the leftist do?

HELLO! Romney is controlled by the left and our election is a fake!

(Is that pointed enough or do I still not qualify for reeducation camp?)
