Polls are going to bounce around. I’ve never looked at this, but I’ll bet that over the decades presidential polling has become more and more dynamic, that is, it swings increasing wildly.
My theory is that as Americans have become unmoored from their moral roots that they are increasingly suseptible to whatever the latest persuasion or TV commercial is. Individual Americans have increasingly thrown off their core values and therefore swing with whomever they think is popular at the time.
It’s hard for me to understand how these numbers change much over time.
To me, Baraq Obama is the most polarizing figure in politics in my lifetime. How can somebody be lukewarm about the guy?
I’ve been wondering why Obama has been spending SO MUCH time in Iowa. No I know why. Their internal polls saw this collapse coming. Oh well, every day in Iowa is one less day in Ohio, Virginia, Wisconsin, Colorado and Florida.
These polls aren’t “bouncing around”. Obama has lost about 12 points in Iowa in the last few months.
