According to this, it seems to be working on the general publik:

Obama is proving to be Teflon coated like Clinton was.

The other telling thing is the recent outreach to Al Sharpton, who was considered radioactive before the last election.

They explain calling land line phones. It is of my opinion that only people with no common sense still have a LISTED land line phone. So therefore liberals were polled.

How do these AP shills look at themselves in a mirror in the morning?

They don't even try, being as they don't show up in them.

46/29/4

46 + 29 + 4 = 79

46/79 = .58 or 58%

29/79 = .21 or 21%

4/79 = .05 or 5%

so- they sampled a total of 79 people, 60% of them democraps, and then announce that it is 'worrisome' for republicans that Obama got 60%?

I think more telling is that he appears to have gotten ZERO PERCENT of independants and GOP.

If he gets ZERO independants and GOP in the next election, he is TOAST in a landslide.

The Dem/Rep/Ind breakdown in this poll is 46/29/4, as AP assigned most of the leaners to the parties.

My only question is why they allow ANY percentage for Republicans or Independants. Just make the breakdown D-100/R-0/I-0 and broadcast THOSE results!

It doesn’t matter what we think of this, or that this blatant polling fraud is uncovered.

It’s being repeated dutifully, over and over again, by the adoring media, and on Social Media over and over again.

As George Orwell would say, it’s fast becoming the CURRENT TRUTH, and there isn’t one damn thing we can do about it.

Good information to have at hand as you hear this reported as big “news” over the next several days.

This poll is (not surprisingly) being loudly touted over at DailyKos.

I was wondering what was going on.

46/29/4 sample?

That is 58% (D), 37% (R), and 5% (I)

And they think that this poll means that the GOP should be “worried”????

Look at the data another way- It means that ZERO PERCENT (R) and (I) pick Obama~!

If Obambi gets 0% of (R) and (I) in the next election HE IS TOAST BY A LANDSLIDE

Simple. The pussies at the WH were plainly crapping in their pants wondering where’s the big bounce in the polls. So, voila. A quick call to AP which basically said, “Hey boys. Can you whip up a poll showing Sir Barry getting a big bounce. But don’t make it too obvious, ha-ha.”

Pravda is a joke compared to A(lways) P(ropanganda). If the RCP site had any balls, they’d note this in dark red with a super asterisk and kick this out of the average saying they could not in good conscience include this obliviously skewed POS poll since they don’t want to insult the reader’s intelligence.

Well, when the GOP is proposing persons like Romney, Huckabee, Trump, Paul, etc, I am not surprised.

When the GOP gets serious about REVERSING the trends toward atheistic socialism in this nation, that is when they will see undeniable proof they will win. Until that time, let the Dems be the socialists and the Republicans and the nation will be the losers.

People are not going to vote for big government Republicans ever again, in meaningful proportions. Bush taught a great lesson.

Of course, the poll doesn’t match these polls:

Poll my zip code (21044) and you’ll see Obama’s approval rating at 79%.

Polls of all adults are garbage.

Likely Voters in the appropriate percentages is the only valuable pre-election metric.

The best metric, of course, is winning.
