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.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Chick-fil-A is also headed downhill. Apparently all those people in line yesterday were just rubes who do not matter when the real count is taken:

Chick-fil-A Leaps Into Controversy

In other words, no matter how things look, we lose. Give up and shoot yourself.

I think the media is assisting Obama in a planned series of riots after he loses the election. The media plumps the numbers which gives Obama’s followers the expectation that he will win. When he loses, there will be outrage and accusations of a stolen election. This will probably be followed closely with some well-placed agitators to stir up riots that will lead to martial-law and an attempt to negate the election and allow Obama to remain in power. Mark my words.

This is the most pathetic, idiotic, worthless poll I've seen in a long while.

A general rule of thumb for a REAL party affiliation, based on past election results is 31% Republican, 33% Democrat, 32% Independent and 4% other.

Calculate every Rat will vote for Obama and every Pubbie will vote for Romney with a 55%-45% split with Inds. in favor of Romney and a 3%-1% split with “other” in favor of Obama, Romney will win 53% to 46% and 1% will stick with “other”.

“Pew used a D+19 sample. D/R/I of 43%-24%-32%”

???

How on Earth did they think no one would find this out?

What a total fraud.

Regardless of what is going on nationally, you will get this same results until a few hours after the polls close nov 6.

It is what it is. You should be used to it.

That would be "Obama's Army" SEIU, ACORN, Black Liberation Front, Black Panthers, etc.,etc. all ready to go to war against Whitey although they haven't the slightest clue as to how it would turn the USA into a clone of the USSR, China or Cuba.

“Both the landline and cell RDD samples were stratified by county based on estimated incidences of African-American and Hispanic adults, and counties with higher densities of African-American and Hispanic adults were oversampled. The final sample is weighted to correct for this disproportionate sampling.”

“Sample sizes and sampling errors for other subgroups are available upon request. In addition to sampling error, one should bear in mind that question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of opinion polls.”

For a moment when I glanced at that photo I thought it was a screencap from Night of the Living Dead. But the zombies are better looking.

That was what Obama’s cousin Raila Odinga did in Kenya.

Total sample = 2,508.
Republicans = 459.
Democrats = 813.
Independent = 599.

What a joke. Where did they poll, on the upper west side of Manhattan?
