Gratuitous insults. That’s really a great way of elevating the conversation.
Say what you will, he’s a good pollster.
No he isn’t.
Hope what Morris is saying is true.
He is the only one out there saying right now though, which makes me skeptical.
It seems like his new business model is to tell conservatives what they want to hear. If he does wind up being correct, however, then he will have salvaged much of his damaged reputation.
If Morris is right I will buy him a steak dinner. God I hope he’s right I just don’t want to see Obama lose I want to see him lose BADLY. I want this election to be so depressing for the Commie lovers that they crawl back underneath the rocks where they came from for another 100 years
Yeah, that’s why President Bill Clinton, Fernando de la Rua for President of Argentina (1999), Jorge Batlle for President of Uruguay (1999), Vicente Fox for President of Mexico (2000), and Raphael Trotman for President of Guyana (2006), the United Kingdom Independence Party, the successful Yushchenko Presidential campaign in the Ukraine, the League of American Voters (anti-ObamaCare group) and several Republican campaigns have paid him tons of money.
Two terms of Bill Clinton and ‘winning’ the impeachment battle public opinion battles tells us otherwise.
I think that is Morris’ speciality, polling..
What I like about Morris’s poll is the sample breakout, with the Dims only enjoying a +2 advantage, and a fairly accurate representation of the black vote. I think Morris did this to confirm his own suspicions, and show the inherent bias/inaccuracy of the MSM polls. Given Obama a +9 in the Democratic sample, and he’s tied with or slightly ahead of Romney. Use a model that’s closer to 2010 than 2008, and Romney has a significant lead.
I wonder if “Obi Wan” will be checking in at NRO this cycle? Of all the “insider” sources, he seems to be the most credible, with access to campaign polls/data that others don’t seem to have. It will be interesting to see how he reads the tea leaves.
I truly hope you have people in your life that refuses to forget and continually remind you of errors you have made in your life. People that won't forgive and hold you up to ridicule - may that be so.
Ask Trent Lott and Bill Clinton if Dick Morris can Poll?
Say what you want about Morris’s predictions, but the man knows polls inside and out and always had Clinton riding public opinion when Clinton listened to him. I think he’s right-—maybe just a point off, but pretty much on target.
He is not pollng pro-life, pro traditional family, evangelical Christian, conservatives. I would like to see if they do that breakdown. I think they are assuming (romney said all the base will vote for him) he will get all the base. They should not expect or take for granted their votes.
The real issue, though, is that the presidential election isn’t a national referendum. It is 50 state referendums. Romney has to win enough states to amass 270 electoral votes and all these national samples don’t really help explain where the electoral map is. I think it is entirely possible for Romney to win the national vote and still lose the electoral vote.
He was an accurate pollster for Clinton and did a good job of predicting to out come of the 2010 midterms-— better than a lot of other so called pollsters out there
oh and Frank Luntz’s focus groups have shown the same thing
Dick Morris was saying McCain would still win in 2008, after McCain lost Ohio on Election Night.
I swear the guy eats nothing but baby unicorn meat, pees nothing but rainbow dewdrops, and exhales little fogs of rose-colored glitter
