A D+7 poll yet Obama is stuck at 46.6%

Is Howard Dean or Chris Matthews their pollster?

Do these guys realize how stupid they look?

[sunmars]

they still carrying water for O then i see, laughable and they should be ashamed.

Tiny sample. Not credible.

The gold standards (and only independents) are Gallup and Rasmussen.

Any media-sponsored poll is suspect.

With that said. Obama at barely 47 (there it is again) is in a bad place.

Notice that this poll has 19% of those of who self-identify as conservatives voting for Obama.

And it has the “investor” class evenly split.

But one thing I find interesting about this poll is that Obama has lost 14 points from 2008—those who voted for Obama in the last election but now are in the Romney/undecided category.

Oh! This is a national poll? Lol - I was looking to see what state it was, Ohio, Iowa, Colorado....

Here are Obama numbers in the 6 most recent polls in RCP Avg.

46 Ramsmussen
47 IBD/TIPP
46 Gallup
48 ABC/WaPo
45 AP/GFK
45 Monmouth

That is a sure loser. Especially for an incumbent.

Yep, Romney has a s—tload of ground to make up among Democrats. The world wonders....does he have time???

In addition to other issues, their sample is skewed towards those who voted for Obama in 2008. If you put the actual final totals, then you find that the numbers are 0 - 45.7; R - 46.7

I am sure there are other issues as well - particularly in the breakdown between minorities and white sample.
