If Romeny has hit 28 percent in this poll he had better enjoy it while he can. It is the high water mark.

“online poll = garbage”

I hope it’s that simple. The thing that bothers me is, Romney and Obama have pretty bright political operatives working for them. You would think they have a clue...

Why does Romney attack Perry and not Cain? Why does Obama continue to attack Romney?

Online poll of 461 “registered” Republican voters.

This sounds extremely credible (sarc, of course).

Agreed. Online polls mean absolutely nothing, other than the preferences of a particular website’s viewers.

Be advised that the MSM, political elites and assorted other asshats are merely attempting to pick the GOP nominee again.

Pay no attention. It’s just more worthless noise from Reuters and Yahoo. Both of which are left leaning propoganda outlets.

Exactly. An online poll about the republican nominees that is answered by liberals is no indication of the true front runner.

>>Romney has clear lead among Republicans<<

Maybe we can even attach a clever lil label to Romney. Let's see, how’z, “Romney, the Maverick for Change” sound?

Yea yea, Maverick for change.

The poll results are from an online survey of 461 Republican registered voters.

Because this was an online poll, typical margins of error do not apply. Despite that, various recognized methods were used to provide a representative sample and weighted results.

It's a bullshit on-line poll, they all are.

Some even count multiple votes from the same computer.

I voted yesterday for Herman Cain and the flawed poll counted multiple votes.

My personal voting drove his results from 47.5 to 50.5 and I got tired of the silly game and left the site.

Even if the poll only counts your vote once, there is no way to prove the a "registered pubbie" is really one, if they ever voted or intend to vote.

On line polls are just the media's attempt to use a technique to shape the news.

This poll is a poll of ‘whom do you EXPECT to be the nominee’????

That is entirely different from a poll that asks whom you will vote for.

I this this poll is bogus.

It is intentially meant to mislead the reader.
