I hope the Oh...bah...mah...zombies and cultists believe this. Many will think that it won’t be no big deal if they skip filling out a bunch of ballots this time.

Mind you, the quoted poll is of “registered voters”, which is pretty much worthless.

The only polls worth looking at are LIKELY Voters, and then you still need to look at the internals, to see if one party or the other is plussed-up more than reality. Most of the Obama-on-top polls are +8 weighted towards Democrats. . .

“Obama is a nice guy, just in over his head and not competent.”

:Romney strategy for defeating Obama.

From what I see on FB and comments on other stories online, I don’t see Obama winning. A lot of people really hate him and a lot who voted for him in 2008 are not voting for him this time. Also, I believe a lot of blacks will just stay home this November.

Higher unemployment may actually benefit Obama, they think Obama will do better at keeping unemployment benefits than Romney.

Obama destroys America.

Neighbor: He was always such a nice boy!

Romney needs to have a three point lead simply to overcome the fraud. Money spent on ballot security in swing state urban districts will be well spent.

The bump is actually happening.

Yeah, the pollster's own, gratuitous words--the pollster's bump. It would seem they doth protest too much!

Ehhhhhhh!   BUSTED!

surveyed online? That is not a scientific survey and the results are completely meaningless.

“Forty-seven percent of 1,457 likely voters surveyed online”

How many more ways can they throw the BS at us?

the second line of the second paragraph claims this is likely voters...that said there’s no link in the story to the polling data...

It’s too early still for Romney to go negative.

Besides he’s got representatives.

Let them go negative. Keep Romney on the up-and-up. :)

“The precision of the Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 2.7 percentage points.”

What the hell is a “credibility interval”?

Ever since the Ulsterman posting on how bad 0bama’s internals are, we have seen nothing but positive stories about how well 0bama’s poll numbers are now, etc.

We are being dazzled with bullchit.

Rasmussen is pretty reliable and Obama is up in Rasmussen too.
