are meant to shape opinion, not measure it.
I know my concern and panic is exactly what the MSN wants. Not so concerned about the Gallup and Reuters numbers. It’s the fact Rasmussen has 0bama up 5 and at a 52% approval rating that has me panicked.
They also have their lib poser, “concern trolls”, ABR opportunists, and other woe is me type on FR trying to get something going.

Demoralization is a weapon of the enemy. Don’t get it, don’t spread it!
I also just now saw the overnight re-run of the Meet the Press Interview wherein it has been pounded upon that Romney said he was going to keep Obamacare. He said nothing even remotely similar to what so many have been spreading around here. In response to a question from David Gregory about repealing Obamacare, Gregory said “So you are telling people with pre-existing conditions and parents keeping their children on their plans they will lose their health insurance?” to which Romney said that was incorrect - he said he would replace it with his own plan and expand free market opportunities for people to have the choice of purchasing outside of their employee plans with the same tax advantages. Completely different from what so many here have been saying all day.
The Republicans de-moralized themselves when they nominated Romney.
I knew we were in for a big swing against us in the polls as soon as I saw the Michelle Obama speech, and then doubly so after Bill Clinton’s. They were highly effective speeches that did exactly what they needed to do to both energize the Democrat base and convince people who don’t pay attention that Obama is a better alternative to not just Romney, but any and all Republicans. The Democrats seem to have highly skilled, ruthlessly deceptive, media masterminds running their campaign. We have a fat, bald dope named Karl Rove who’s gearing up to lose his 4th straight election (2 to the Democrats, 1 to the Tea Party) and has never once made an effort to change his strategy despite his consistent losses. Rove needs to be thrown under the bus once and for all.
This is what the media wants..remember we have been hearing for a while how the Dems are NOT enthusiastic about Obama, that he has to drag out Clinton in order to have any chance. Now they are doing the same thing to us, bring out some fake polls showing Obama leading to make US less enthusiastic about voting. Just go out and vote, enough with the BS polls. I remember this same nonsense working for the Dems in 2008. I remember hearing on the radio Republican after Republican telling Mark Levin and Rush “I wont go vote, there is no point, Obama’s already won” maybe if enough people had come to the polls than we would have won. Let’s not make the same mistake twice, just forget about the polls and vote and whatever happens happens
That is so true. Remember for weeks before the primaries the polls showed that Romney was the only candidate that could beat Obama? I wonder how many votes that influenced.

Well, if I were to take a survey of the people I work with, the majority of them will be backing Zero. Somewhere around 60+%.
I can’t figure out why, very educated people, but they believe Zero is doing the best any president could be doing and just needs more time. And, they ALL watch the State run media and don’t get news from anywhere else.
I don’t need “polls” to tell me Zero is going to walk away with another win this Nov. ... I hear it from the people I work with and know. Sad.
This too, shall pass. I ignore these crazy polls.
Ignore the trolls folks.
I’ll have a better feel on election day. The lines went out the door and down th street at my tiny polling place. Saw a lot of first timers, youngsters and others I had not previously seen. We’ll see who’s in those lines this timearound
The neck-and-neck polls are fine. We can and will win if we believe we're able, believe we will, believe we must.
No one said this would be easy. Romney & Ryan need us with them to stop Obama. Sarah Palin needs us with her to election a solid Congress that will do battle on principle whatever new president we have in January 2013.
This exactly backwards. It is the demorats that are demoralized. Anecdotely, all the obama voters I know are either not voting for him again or they are not “voting at all.”
DEMORALIZED?! DEMORALIZED!
If America is actually this F!@#$%^& stupid...we don’t need no worries about being DEMORALIZED! /sarcasm LOL.
