It all has to do with party affiliation of those polled compared to party affiliation of those that vote. It seems in just about every poll lately that the Romney's support among Republicans is greater than Obama's support among Democrats. And Romney has more support among Independents. However, the polls also tend to put more Democrats than Republicans in the sample of voters asked...so that the polls look fairly tight. The reason the polls skew toward polling Democrats is that historically there are more voting Democrats than voting Republicans. However, there are indications (such as a Rasmussen study I have seen) that this is now actually backwards, and that there are now more Republican voters than Democrat voters. I am cautiously optimistic that this means Romney will win in a land slide...since it will mean that more Republicans will vote than Democrats...that fewer Republicans will cross over and vote for Obama than Democrats crossing over and voting for Romney, and more Independents will vote for Romney. Result: there ain't enough fraud they can do to keep Obama from being stomped flat!
Amen Andy! You are exactly correct on this.
Also when a tyrant is in power it becomes dangerous to dissent. 100% support was recorded for Mussolini. “Bagdad Bob” expressed the opinion that 110% support for Saddam was possible.
Here in the United States people have been successfully brainwashed to believe that if you don’t support the dictator, you must be a racist.
As a result of this fear, people poll much higher support for Obama than actually exist.
He has destroyed the economy destroyed our net worth, and governed a free people as a imperial monarch. So the actual vote will be like the 2010 vote, much more conservative than
