Every single poll, except Ras (who had a HORRIBLE track record for 2008 and 2010 and is one of the lowest rated pollsters for accuracy) is saying Obama’s lead is growing and getting stronger.
My hope? That somehow this eliminates the GOP elite who stuck us with the worst Presidential candidate in the history of America.
I think Obama will be re-elected.
Because the GOP elite insisted on giving Mitten Happens his turn at bat.
Oh, come on. Have you forgotten Bob Dole already?
“Every single poll, except Ras (who had a HORRIBLE track record for 2008 and 2010 and is one of the lowest rated pollsters for accuracy”
Rasmussen was consistently found to be the MOST accurrate polster. Here from 2008, it’s No.1:
Bit more, from wikipedia:
FOX News contributors Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen (a coauthor of Rasmussen) wrote that Rasmussen has an “unchallenged record for both integrity and accuracy.”[38]The Wall Street Journal stated that “Mr. Rasmussen is today’s leading insurgent pollster” and “a key player in the contact sport of politics.”[29] Slate Magazine and The Wall Street Journal reported that Rasmussen Reports was one of the most accurate polling firms for the 2004 United States presidential election and 2006 United States general elections.[37][49][not in citation given] In 2004 Slate magazine “publicly doubted and privately derided” Rasmussen’s use of recorded voices in electoral polls. However, after the election, they concluded that Rasmussen’s polls were among the most accurate in the 2004 presidential election.[37] According to Politico, Rasmussen’s 2008 presidential-election polls “closely mirrored the election’s outcome”.[50]
At the end of the 2008 presidential election, there were eight national tracking polls and many other polls conducted on a regular basis. Polling analyst Nate Silver reviewed the tracking polls and said that while none were perfect, and Rasmussen was “frequently reputed to have a Republican lean”, the “house effect” in their tracking poll was small and “with its large sample size and high pollster rating [it] would probably be the one I’d want with me on a desert island.”[51] After the election, Rasmussen’s poll was rated as the most accurate, when compared to various other final pre-election polls.
In the January 2010 special election for the Senate seat from Massachusetts, Rasmussen Reports was the first to show that Republican Scott Brown had a chance to defeat Martha Coakley. Just after Brown’s upset win, Ben Smith at Politico reported, “The overwhelming conventional wisdom in both parties until a Rasmussen poll showed the race in single digits in early January was that Martha Coakley was a lock. (It’s hard to recall a single poll changing the mood of a race quite that dramatically.)”[52] A few days later, Public Policy Polling released the first poll showing Brown in the lead, a result differing from Rasmussen’s by 10 points.[53] Rasmussen’s last poll on the race found Coakley with a 2-point lead, when she in fact lost by 5 points, a 7-point error.[54]
A quote from Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia posted on the Rasmussen homepage reads, “Rasmussen produces some of the most accurate and reliable polls in the country today.”[55]
Journalist Mickey Kaus said, “If you have a choice between Rasmussen and, say, the prestigious New York Times, go with Rasmussen.”[8][56]
Note that all these polls over-sample Democrats. Their sole purpose is to disspirit Republicans.
And you're falling for it.
Never fear! Dick "Condi versus Hillary is still available on Amazon.com" Morris will appear on TV tonight to tell us how all this bad polling really means Romney is winning. People just need to accept that what passes for the American public these days is far more left leaning than we like to think, and unfortunately they WANT to like Obama. It is very difficult to beat someone the electorate wants to like.
Romney sucks as a candidate, and alienates an ever growing number of Republicans and independents each day.
Every time he opens his mouth he exposes himself as a phony.
He expects to win this election by hiding and using attack ads, well the communists are masters at that game, and will crucify and make him look like the hypocrite coward con man that he is.
Ideally the Indonesian national wins reelection and is then exposed as ineligible and forced to step down.
All legislation he signed would be ruled invalid, and the POTUS would be the imbecile Biden for a few years, leaving the door open for a decent candidate in 2016.
somehow this eliminates the GOP elite
You can be sure if nobama pull off re-election there will be no more GOPe or GOP or Tea Party, we will be outlawed.
Now tell us again that Romney is the “worst Presidential candidate in the history of America”. He may not be who you wanted or I wanted, but he damn sure is not the worst, we now have the worst.

Rasmussen had Obama +5ish in 2008 and he was the closest one from what I can remember to the actual results.
You said:Every single poll, except Ras (who had a HORRIBLE track record for 2008 and 2010 and is one of the lowest rated pollsters for accuracy) is saying Obama’s lead is growing and getting stronger.
Terrible here is 2008 looks pretty good, what am I missing?
The final Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Election 2008 shows Barack Obama with 52% of the vote while John McCain is six points back at 46%. One percent (1%) of voters say they’ll select a third-party option while 1% remain undecided.
Final election 53 46 Scott is one of the best at understanding voter turnout.
I still think it's a toss up between Romney and McCain.
I know lots of people say this including Rush Limbaugh but it is frankly stupid. Unless you're calling the people who voted for Romney "the GOP elite" I don't know how "the GOP elite" stuck us with Romney.
