“Internals are ridiculous
Dems 47%
Repubs 38%”

Media polls are always cr*ppy propaganda polls. Maybe they dont care how bad they are, so long as it says the story they want to tell...

The One is so popular that West Virginians went to the polls last night and 41% of the Democrats voted for a convicted (and incarcerated) felon.

we might as well just not vote. Just like North Carolina was predicted to vote for gay marriage.

I’ve been saying for years, POLLS ARE LIES.

Then some on here say “no no they’re accurate, they match the election results”

Uh huh.

Yeah but Romney doesn’t hate us, he doesn’t have a prayer rug to worship facing Mecca. Romney is American.

And not as conservative as we want but a helluva lot better than that evil man we have.

Whats really crazy about this poll is that they polled only 10% indies???? really???? Now I want to know how “picked” those 10%. Looking at the 47% Dems numbers, did they call/poll the indies in the upper west-side of manhatten? This poll is a farce on the face of it. 10% indies? yea, that represents the voting population....not.

I wonder how the polls will explain the Democrat primary in West Virginia.

I've been predicting this election will look like either 1988 or 1992, EV-wise.

Barring some truly Earth-shifting event(s), Obama’s done. He knows it and his supporters know it.

Whether registered or likely if you want to find a trend line it doesn't matter at all. Now, regarding so-called Independents, those are Democrats who got off the party mailing list.

They must still be presumed to be voting Democrats.

There are, after all, no real independents ~ some part of your life ~ job, geography, relationships, church, social groups ~ is tied up in some way with the great coalition parties we call Democrats or Republicans.

I predict both these guys below 50% all the way through to the convention.

There will be no convention bump for either one.

It's a race to the bottom presuming Romney is the candidate, and he knows it even if his acolytes refuse to admit it.

Best thing Romney can do for his candidacy is to stay home, stay quiet, and don't show up until its all over ~ like a number of other unlikeables did before him.

These polls are tools of spin. The notice you give them helps to destroy the republic and turns the election into a spin contest. It leads the RINOs astray.

This poll is totally lacking in credibility — it is a fabrication, pure and simple.

Doesn’t matter if he hates us or not. Collectivism, whether under the Progressive, Communist, Fascist, or Socialist banners always end up destroying the people and country that use them.

The Place for Conservatives

Liberals do not want liberty for anyone.
They would rather dictate what we do, what we buy, where we go and when, and what we can do while there.
Please donate.
The Republic you save may be your own.

Well I don’t think the EV vote will be as skewed as 88, the way the population is now distributed I think its going to be next to impossible to get something like 88 or 84 ever again, however the overall pouplar vote I believe will be on par with a 72 or 84 or 80.

LIke I said, this guy is looking at a CARTER style loss, but without the 3rd party candidate. An unprecidented loss for a sitting president in the modern era.

Fact is the electorate has made up its mind, and the ABO voters and motivation are such that no way in hell he can win. He’s got a MAX, and that means no mistakes, number of 42-43%, and he’s not going to be able to pull it off.

He’s attempting a balkanization approach, just today with his embracing of Gay Marriage, something he’s always done but never said before.. he hopes that will buy him some base motivation, but the problem is, those for that cause were already voting for him anyway. He’s going to do anything to try to get motivation behind him, which isn’t going to work, he’s going to openly embrace every leftist stand he can.. he truly believes the contry wants a leftist government.

He completely fails to understand that his victory in 08 was more about depressed republican turn out, and disgust with BUSH than anything else.. he’s doubling down on a strategy that will get those who supported him a bit more jazzed, but its going to further the resolve of those against him, and make the ABO voters swell.

He’s getting bad advice from a closed self feeding loop. Today he basically nationalized the gay marriage debate, and while that will help him in CA and NY, its not going to help him in much of the rest of the country...

Get ready for a vey nasty election cycle.

Very well thought out scenario.

The gay “marriage” turd Barry tossed out today will ensure he loses badly. Granted, Biden helped speed up the process (Thanks, Joe?), but know Obama is out front in his support of the sodomites and carpet munchers.

Nice strategy guys...

Luckily for us the Rat party is so dependent on PC. Because anyone with 1/10th of a brain would have tanked him as the Rat candidate.

And IF, IF the GOP wins as big as it should this November, Mission One needs to be to punish the left, in every and any way.
