Margin marks first statistically significant lead among registered voters

by Jeffrey M. Jones

PRINCETON, NJ -- Registered voters by a significant margin now say they are more likely to vote for the "Republican Party's candidate for president" than for President Barack Obama in the 2012 election, 47% to 39%. Preferences had been fairly evenly divided this year in this test of Obama's re-election prospects.

Dick Morris says that most undecideds end up voting for the challenger. That puts the score at around Republican 60% and Hussein at 40%.


Morris further explains, “If someone asks you if you will be marreid to your current spouse this time next year and you say, ‘Well, I’m not sure,’ it probably means the two of you aren’t gonna make it.” Say what you want about Morris, that’s damn funny and chock full of native wisdom.

My brother is high up in the Marines and I share crazydad’s pessimism. As patriotic and wonderful as my brother is, and all of his friends, they *would* obey orders. At least, that is what he has told me.

Based on what has happened and is happening in Arizona with the SWAT teams and other cops (yes, I know they’re not currently military), I have little to no faith left either.

UP is Down and Down is up.


Actually its: The liberals call evil good and good evil.
(not like the liberals who “create” there god to who THEY want him/her to be. “And they created GOD in THEIR image.”

The good news is the one true God is on our side. He is not pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage,... He never changes and loves all mankind. He will also forgive a repentant heart no matter what they have done. But, those who choose to be their own god will answer to Him. The bible says woe to those who causes one of my little ones to sin. It would be better for them to have a millstone tied around there neck and dropped into the sea. The people who want to force our little ones to be taught being gay is good/abortion is ok/moral relativism..... they are in BIG trouble. Anyway, bottom line, we win.

We don’t know for sure what could happen. We have to trust God. But I feel confident that the right people will step up and stand against evil.

"We have to trust God."

Agree.

But you have to realize we are up against the Devil himself.

Has there ever been a more evil President? In 2 1/2 years he has almost ruined this country. Yet his ratings are not bad. You go figure.

“Registered voters” typically lean democrat due to massive democratic voter drives. It’s the likely voters that Republicans have always had to win big enough with as to overwrite whatever oddball unlikely voter happens to do.

The election is likely to go our way if we can just keep a conservative on the ballot spouting conservative free market, tiny goverment ideas.

RINO’s will lose this cause democrats can always out Big goverment a republican. For Good reason, a RINO tends to not only have the leftist intrusive Government policy’s of a democrat they tend to have the compedents to carry it out more effectively. So even the sudo black market suffers.

“The good news is that a significant percentage of those tax-consumers do not vote. What we must do is to ensure that illegal aliens don’t take their place at the polls.”

Yet anther one of the reasons our State Governments are and must be our Highest priority. They are the ones with the real practical say on theses matters.

“Generic polls are completely irrelevant.

Democrats practice the art of personal destruction. They do not run against “generic republicans”. They run against specific people who they try to destroy personally in order to win.

This is nice and may make you feel good to read but it’s not worth anything.”

This is truly largely as a result of their bases own internal weaknesses, and their strength in the media.

Worth repeating....

"Pravda can spin all they want, Obama can lie like he always does, but even the dolts in America understand when a trip to the grocery store is up 50%."

If you chose B above, would it matter if choice B were not actually human, like perhaps a dog or a cat?

A. No. 98%

B. Yes . 2%

Or.... as Rush Limbaugh has been saying, he’d vote for ELMER FUDD over Obama. I’m sure the majority of Americans feel that way too!

(I’m just venting.... ) I would like to think so also, but no one stepped up against the TSA, just to use one example. Radiation, groping, and lost dignity are commonplace now. “They’ve” conditioned too many to obey anyone in uniform....
I never thought I’d see it get this far in a supposedly “free” country.

And unless the nameless Republican in this poll immediately abolishes TSA and CommieCare, first day in office, it will just get worse!

This is what I keep saying. The whites who voted Obama because they felt “it was about time” for a black President will not re-elect him because he had his chance.

He’s also lost every independent, as well as the centrist Dems who lost either a job, a 401k, savings, or home value.

All he’s got are the most foolish of blacks, and the liberals.

The situation is not even close to the same.

Unemployment was tearing the fabric of the country.
Even Bubba didn’t spend 3 trillion $ in 3 years.

bubba was a mindless Dum. But Zero is a radical America Hating ideologue. This is a war, make no mistake about it.
Americans against the msm, dummis/Rinos and a commie/Fascist/progressive/socialist Administration.

Thank you. It is a scary time in the good ole USA. Will we wake up tomorrow and have the military or local law enforcement going house to house. Like they did in Katrina. It happened then it could happen now. But there will be alot of dead american patriots. Cause thousands of us will not give up our guns. Our god given right could be gone in the flash of a barrel.

Your right, we are up against evil & so much of our society is so lost. So many churches are not teaching God's word. Many ministers, priest...don't care what God says in His word. They try to make God into who they want him to be, so they worship a false god.

TV/Movies/music has really corrupted our kids. So many people are blind to right and wrong. We live in an age where evil is called good and good evil.

We see so many things happening around the world that it can be scary. The good news is that God is waking His people up. He told us he would warn us and we would know by the signs of the times what is happening.

That is why I worry about my loved ones who are not right with God. It's not like God expects us to be perfect. He knows we're the opposite, but when we come to Him with a truly contrite heart and make a decision to trust Him, we find peace with God. It seems the gospel has been told so much, people don't really hear it. My son's grew up hearing it & think they can have fun & later, get right with God. They don't understand that there hearts might get hardened & they won't care about god. (or they become liberals) That really isn't funny, but I do think many people have cold and hard hearts because they have rejected God so many times. How can anyone think abortion up to 9 months is ok. They don't have pity on that poor baby or think about who that child might be one day. The good news is I do know lots of women who had abortions and were very liberal, but they turned to God and are forgiven (and conservative).

We just have to pray right now. Our leaders really need prayer to stand strong for what is right. I remember Dr Dobson of Focus on Family staying that when he was in DC there was a feeling of evil all around him.

He is a paragraph of my prayer from yesterday.

We know You are with us and we will win. You are a holy God of truth, righteousness, peace, mercy, forgiveness, love, joy. You are faithful and just and have had Your hand on this nation since it's beginnings. The left has managed to push You out of many places, but You remains in places they can't touch. Our hearts.

The situation then wasn’t anything like today.

3 trillion deficit spending for one.
Unemployment tearing at the fabric of the country.
And a full scale attack on the American way of life.

Zero is a radical Anti-American ideologue. He is incompetent and arrogant. a dangerous combination. frankly I think he would love to see America brought down. Gawd knows he is doing every thing he can to accomplish that sceneio.
