Oversampled Rats, undersampled independents.
Same old story.
Looks like about a 10% Romney victory from this poll’s internals!
I doubt it. They are using 2008 as a model and ignoring 2010 but they assign indepents based on lean. Virginia will be close, either way.
Excellent. Reverse engineer those numbers knowing that there are lots fewer Ds and many more Is that will break Romney, and you’ve got a friggin landslide.
Maybe. I would throw a cautionary note into the analysis here - Romney's own pollsters think the Dem advantage on party ID will be about 3 points. It was 8 points in 2008 and even or R +1 in 2010, so 3 points seems about right.
Adjusting this poll based on that assumption shows a tight race.
For four years Obama has been customizing his message just to run against Romney. That is one of the reasons Obama has gone the class warfare route. Bain was not allowed to be discussed by republicans during the primaries, it was a no-no, needed to protect the assumptive nominee, Romney . If people couldn’t see that this was going to be between those that eat steak and those that eat hamburger, they are stupid. Romney is sticking the hot dog right in people’s faces with these thoughtless comments.
2. Romney's core strategy should be to make this election about economic reality, not the candidates.
Item #2 is important. I'd venture to guess that even Obama's most ardent supporters are worse off today than they were four years ago. Romney's advantage in the general election is the same advantage he had in the GOP primaries: He looks presidential.
He may “look” presidential, but I sure as hell hope his brain catches up with his looks, real soon.
Personally, I think if someone that capable loses to a jug-eared nitwit who comes across as mildly retarded whenever he speaks without a teleprompter, then at least we can all rest easy and stop taking anything in this country seriously anymore. As for me, I'll likely be checking out of here and pursuing my business interests elsewhere if that happens.
Open primaries, are why Democrats chose the Republican nominee.
this is better than a poll - not scewed...uses same formula every year - been right on all last 8 presidents
Joseph Goebbel’s is taking their polls. They must have dug him up for Barry, Pelosi, and Reid.
I believe that.
More liberals squeaking. Yawn.
The people who believe these polls are more than likely groupies to the commies and corrupt media.
There are many democrats who consider themselves democrats for life and who would support this administration if Goebbbels replaced Biden - nothing will change their mentality.
