Completely out of line with other polls....and it says these numbers are consistent with their previous polls, so it does not indicate any sort of positive trend. Sounds like a registered voter poll that should be ignored. They are likely oversampling Dems by a good margin.

I’m always dubious about percentage polls.

I think we know Baraq will run up big margins in Cal, NY, and Illinois.

But you really have to look at the battleground states one by one.

Don’t despair. “Registered Voters” is a more liberal group than “Likely Voters.” That is why NBC will always construct its poll this way. I have no idea why the WSJ pairs with that Leftist group in its polling.

The poll that you posted is flawed. See posts #5,6,11: registered voters, +11% democrats, 3% margin of error (x2=6%).

WSJ NBC is a good belly laugh. See Rasmussen for a serious poll.

Just months before the Carter-Reagan election they had Reagan a 20 point underdog.

Two weeks before that same election that had Reagan a 10 or 11 point underdog.

If I recal, Reagan won 49 or the 50 states and was swept into office.

All these polls are to make the LIBERALS feel confident.

It won't change anything, however. Obama is history. You can see it coming.

I'm detecting a pattern here at FR. Every time a poll hows O’Romney losing, us Freepers pronounce the poll as invalid.

I believe these polls ARE correct. With so many people collecting a check of one sort or another ... and O’Romney is just not that exciting of a candidate ... basically a white Bamster ... I can easily believe these polls to be true these days.

We do not have to overcome polls - they are pure BS, as we saw this back during Reagan/Carter...we have to overcome now is voter fraud and an October surprise...what is the purple lipped bastard holding back on mittens? He got where he is by destroying his opponents before the election ever came about. Axelrod, Jarret, the MSM...all aligned...regardless, only voter fraud can overcome the American voice.

Rasmussen poll says Romney's ahead. The Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll says Obama's ahead.

Whatever.

It is a tragedy that most Americans are very self indulgent and don’t have much inclination to study the issues. Issues are not high on their entertainment list. Most self indulgent Americans are not even thinking politics at this time. It is summer time and fun in the sun. Taking a poll survey is something they will avoid like the plague. Most will check their caller I.D. and not answer a pollster or any call with a mystery number. Those without caller I.D. are more likely to answer a pollster call. The demographic of these respondents, I suspect, are skewed Left.

But for now, it’s no time for useless phone calls or political programs. Even if they do start watching things (which is a big IF) it will be after the conventions for the entertainment value. That’s when the candidates start putting their big campaign money into to the media wars. Americans start paying attention because they love to see a mud fight. Too many will have listened to nothing political and will determine their vote for the most superficial of reasons. For all they are concerned, they could be voting for a Pet Rock.

It is too bad the American electorate is lazy, self-indulgent, misinformed and superficial.

You might want to check out the polls on Real Clear Politics. NBC/WSJ polls are almost always outliers. My guess is that NBC does the polling and WSJ, for reasons unknown to any of us, goes along. Their polling is consistently WAY more lib than any other polling group with the exception of Quinnipiac (Sp).

Don’t be distressed. For some reason the WSJ/NBC poll skews left. 6 point lead for Obamugabe? Laughable. What are the internals? This is RV, not LV.

Fear not. The corrupt occupier is in much much much deeper trouble than this poll indicates.

Simple facts: Obama is NOT winning any group he lost in 2008 and is NOT doing better with any group he is won in 2008 not even with Blacks. The question remains : who are you speaking to? These polls of “registered voters” are nothing more than psy-ops attacks to depress us. I believe they are stirring us up instead.
