I'll bet there are at least 5-10% more who will pull the lever for Romney, but don't want to tell anyone, i.e. there fellow RAT union members or libtards.

This is an encouraging poll. Now to just see some more swing states swing to Romney.

Romney didn’t “misstep”, no matter how the media is attempting to portray his statement.

He told the truth about 0bama and his administration.

This, to a leftist, is a grievous outrage.

That is a good feel good position to be in but the real question becomes who is winning in the 8 to 12 swing states? Those swing states will determine the next president.

Not that this means anything this time around but as I recall, Rasmussen was the most accurate pollster in 2008.

Surprise, Surprise, the first 3 day poll of the week that doesn’t include WEEKEND numbers, and Obama is back down... Shocking I say.. shocking...

The only numbers in any 3 day worth mentioning are going to be thursday, friday, and saturday release numbers, they are the only ones that don’t contain weekend polling in them.

Polls still aren’t remotely capturing what’s on the ground, Obama has an absolute max support of 42-43% on his best day. Election day I really think the fool will be lucky to see 40% of the vote.

I don't know about that, however here in Suburban Cook county I come into contact with a lot of the White Liberal Democrats. I don't think I could ever get them to vote for a Republican. However a lot of my WLD neighbors are talking about staying home in disgust. Something that I encourage them to do. After all while there is no chance of Romney winning Illinois, there is a chance we could hold on to my House district if enough Democrats don't show up on election day.

Right on. When the entire left is lockstep united in its diagnosis, you can be sure the diagnosis is simple: it is 180 degrees opposite of what they just said.

Same with the Eastwood speech, incidentally.....

(And, apparently, the same with the great obama/Clinton bounce! More on that in a week or so, though!)

I'm sorry, I can't lie to pollsters. Just thinking about pretending to be a Dem make me ill.

I got a call from one last night

"Hi, mister Dubya? I'm sorry to bother you, my name is blah blah blah and I'm calling on behalf of the Obama Campaign".

Me: "Hahahahaha!! Yeah, I'm sorry you bothered me too." (slams phone down)

“Do this this poll reflect the events in the ME ?

True... and be prepared for a short-term bump for Obama from a “rally-to-the-flag” effect of the events in Egypt and Libya. It’s a natural response, regardless of who’s in the White House.

So true. I agree with Dick Morris - Romney is going to win in a landslide and the left knows it.
