If Romney wins this thing, it should become clear to some on FR that the independents and even trying to win over Dems/women is important to a victory.
The electorate is so polarized that is the ONLY way to win this year.
If Romney came out as a staunch conservative and said he was going to get rid of the Department of Ed, IRS etc., Obama would have won.
I am hoping he will be a center-right president, and that’s why I support him. The good thing is, we have Ryan as VP and he will be immensely helpful with the budget, at least I think.
He will also help present conservative ideas in a manner that people can like.
Romney is not going to be a huge right-winger. But, I can’t imagine him not being much better than Obama.
“But now Rasmussen has 95/5 Rs voting Romney, while 85/13 Ds voting Obama.”
Obama has lost the few thinking dems. I have relatives in MN who always lean dem but they have had enough of barry obama.
Obama has just alienated anybody who can see the results of his insane policies like dropping kenyancare during a historic recession. Team Kenya went hard left and now they are paying for it.
Totally agree.
Romney is going to boost the economy, balance the budget, and he’s going to do it with a huge majority of support from the American people.
Like Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania...even Oregon???
Thanks, but it really isn’t hard work ... Takes less than a minute to do.
He says that he is not manipulating that number one way or the other. He says they simply make the contacts and, based on the answers to questions about past voting history, intention to vote and enthusiasm, he classifies them as "likely voters" or not. Then he asks about party ID. Specifically, he asks "as of today, do you consider yourself R, D or I." If his contacts reveal a party advantage in the likely voter model, it's simply the fact that that is what he is seeing according to his model.
....and MN maybe?
(But of course since about three hours back all previous polls should be of no importance what so ever. I don’t think even the LSM can protect Obama from the Benghazi fallout, and nor should they!)
Can anyone provide a link showing how many Republicans voted for Obama in Ohio in 2008?
Thanks
CNN OH poll: Obama leads 59-38 among 1.4 million that voted early. Romney leads 51-44 among 4.4 million have yet to vote. You do the math.— Adrian Gray (@adrian_gray) October 26, 2012
That’s 2.978 million for Romney and 2.762 million for Obama. Romney wins by 216,000 votes. It’ll be interesting to see how close it is to those numbers.
BTW, Bush won in 04 by 114,000 and it was outside MOE for a recount, so this would be safe from shenanigans.
