Obama has 10-point lead in new national poll
The Hill ^ | August. 2, 2012 | Alicia M. Cohn

President Obama leads Mitt Romney nationally by 10 points, according to a new poll released Thursday.

Obama took 51 percent compared to Romney’s 41 percent of the vote when the Pew Research Center asked which candidate people would vote for if the election were held today. That’s a much wider gap between the two candidates than most recent polls show; the RealClearPolitics national average puts Obama in the lead with an average of 3 points.

That is an absolute crock of crap! These polls are meaningless. Believe only what your eyes and ears tell you. Do not believe these polls and especially do not believe the State Run Media!!

Lets see if you can find the skew. LoL.


(1,505 respondents were interviewed on a landline telephone, and 1,003 were interviewed on a cell phone, including 531 who had no landline telephone).

All those cell phones talking to Dems. LoL.

Obama’s internals are so bad, the only hope they have is to put out these fake polls to try to discourage Republican votes.

I'm serious I think we should just all lie to the pollsters. Chris Plante was suggesting this today.

To put this nonsense poll in some perspective, according to Rasmussen, his self-identified poll has it about 33.5 to 34% Reps, 32% Dem, and 30% Indy.

I did the same with Gallup (however, when Razzie called, I played it straight).

I won’t even talk to telephone pollsters. What I think is none of some stranger’s business. I think liberals are much more eager to share their political views with random people on the phone than normal, i.e. conservative folks are.

The robo-call didn’t ask about sexual orientation, or I would have added lesbian as well.
