These are the results when registered voters are asked: "Suppose the presidential election were held today. If Barack Obama were the Democratic Party's candidate and Mitt Romney were the Republican Party's candidate, who would you vote for Barack Obama, the Democrat or Mitt Romney, the Republican?"

I hope you’re right but this is scaring me. Did you SEE that convention of morons and NO ideas? Yet that freakshow gets a bounce?
lol
Man, I hope after the weekend is over and the bad jobs report sinks in the numbers will show Obama losing.
Ras said no one (electorate) believes obama has any idea or ability how to improve the economy yet at the same time Romney has blown it to date by not giving enough detail on his plan to improve the economy or reduce the deficit (i agree with the latter).
Funny, o hasn’t given any details either, but gets a pass. I guess we all know his plan - tax and spend and take over the country by fiat.
I heard callers into Rush’s show that many are telling the pollsters they are voting for obama - but aren’t. They are playing head games with them.
It’s over, it’s never been so over as it is now. Obama will sweep all 57 states, Romney must give his concession speech right now or Romney will look like a sore loser.....half sarcasm/half real panic.
Problem is the press will continue to do all the things you mentioned to unlevel the playing field. Fox, TalkRadio are preaching to the choir, but the media keeps the choir from growing. Hell they’re not even giving decent coverage to R&R”s campaign. The race will be closer than 08 because the economy stinks but as I said on another thread too many ordinary moderate people voted last time to be part of history and they;re uneasy about voting Obama out, especially when Romney has given them no reason to vote for him, aside from I’m a businessman. Guessing now, I see Obama by a Bush ‘04 margin.GOP keeps the House and gains plus two or three in the Senate. (biggest upset the WWE comes to Washington)
This has “McCain” written all over it.
Alachua is a university town. Leon is a university and government town. Ads won’t help there.
But most people in North Florida don’t live in Alachua and Leon Counties. They live in the Jacksonville area (1.5 million) and the NW Gulf Coast Pensacola-Fort Walton-Panama City area. Those two regions vote heavily GOP.
Volusia isn’t a part of North Florida.
Romney should run ads in Central Florida -which is up for grabs. He should also run ads in South Florida, which votes heavily Democrat - but I think he could peel off a great deal of the Jewish population by running footage of the Democrats booing Israel at the convention.
Romney needs to fire his consultants and hire some hard hitters. I’m sick of this obama nice guy stuff - he isn’t a nice guy. Sounds like mccain 2.0. Yuk. I guess they think the voters don’t want to hear negatives about the president, however, it seems that negatives work. It sure worked for Romney against his opponents in the primary. What’s up with these milquetoast Republicans who smash their fellow Republicans, but play footsies with the Democrats?
Color me confused.
It’s not over my head you’re just being delusional and anybody else using the Bradley Effect out for these bad Romney numbers.
Last time we all heard the same thing and look.
I have yet to see the Bradley Effect in action except for the Tom Bradley losing to Wilder. Sorry.
Maybe gay marriage issue is a type of ‘Bradley Effect’, but that’s an issue vs a candidate.
I swear, if the people of this country are f-ing STUPID enough to reelect the Kenyan Marxist, I'm just about ready to throw in the towel and renounce my citizenship. Flame away, but this is just f-ing unbelievable. How that freak show A/K/A the DMC convention could give any positive bounce is simply beyond my comprehension.
Its amazing how little it takes to unnerve people that routinely act like they are mentally stronger than liberals.
Like I said in another post, Dole led Clinton after his convention.
Dole sells Viagra today.
People need to enjoy their weekend and stop publicly emoting over polling data.
He as at 49% in the 7 day poll, only 1 day taken after his speech and only 2 days taken after Clinton’s speech. I don’t think these numbers will be reality in December, but he will no doubt be well over 50 in this poll when the full bump is complete.
I believe it. Obamugabe is the dictator for life now. Wrap it up, throw it in....
oh, wait, Gallup? The ones being threatened with a lawsuit by Holder?
Never mind.
I’m a native North Floridan. My family lives there, as do many of my friends. Trust me, they’ll be out to vote, as will most folks in the region.
Besides, North Florida is too small to offset the bigger regions of Central and South Florida. The smarter buy, I think, would be to run heavily in Central Florida which is up for grabs, and a little less so in South Florida.
We have one big advantage in Central Florida: Brevard County, population half a million is NASA country. You know what Obama did to NASA. So do the half a million residents of Brevard County.
I just read this

Official: Obama will make Bibi pay after elections
Israel will attack Iran only if they think that Obama will win. They know that Obama is dangerous for Israel, they have already been told that because Netanyahu met with Romney, that pissed Obama off and Obama will make Bibi pay if he wins re-election
Yes, people fall for appeals to emotion and leftist populism. They voted for FDR 4 times in a row. People have always been stupid and gullible. What is new is simply that the left has gotten more people dependent on government, and naturally those people will vote for the gravy train to continue.
This has “McCain” written all over it.
Its my understanding that Mitt took the weekend off to practice for the upcoming debates.
Amazing isn’t it. Hard to believe people would elect to live under communism without the threat of death.
I feel horrible for our soldier who went and fought against nazism, communism all for absolutely nothing.
