I’ve said this before on another thread:
I am NOT voting for Romney!!
Will I be blamed if Obama wins in November?
To: Happy Valley Dude
The Gallup Poll was conducted Jan. 5-8 among 479 Republicans
and Republican-leaning independents...(Emphasis mine)
Conservatives may well not have been a majority in this poll. The sample size was also so small as to contain a significant margin of error.

Now how can the last ranked person be supported by conservatives?Easy. The "registered republicans" contacted by Gallup are themselves the source of the label "conservative" as are the "republican leaning independents". Any of them can claim it.
The idea that the paltry number (479) of respondents of "republicans and republican leaning independents" is a valid poll is ridiculous.

Acceptable: meeting only minimum requirements; barely adequate; capable of being endured; tolerable; bearable Garbage .... Mitt will never be "embraced" by Conservatives.

479 people polled and we follow polls like they are Gospel.
They are used EFFECTIVELY to sway the vote, but just think 479 out of how many? ... and what version of the Gospel to these use to self identify?
The really big polls have what? 2000 people???
Stop using the polls as a gauge for ANYTHING, unless it is reflective of tens of thousands who really are legitimate voters!
The large polls, like the online Facebook, Twitter, AFA, Catholic's Online, Mark Levin, etc., etc., show a very different set of numbers.

Preposterous. Conservatives don’t embrace anyone; they don’t even talk. They just use pictures and cartoons to communicate. ;-)

Romney has bought, and paid for the GOP nomination.
So, you are saying it is a bad thing that Romney was supporting conservative Republican candidates in 2010?

In a democracy, you don’t get the government you want. You get the government you deserve. I dumped tv in 1997, but am occasionally exposed to it. I’m appalled at what our electorate subjects it to on a daily basis. It is easy to see why we are where we are.
And why we are doomed, as much as ancient Rome was.

The only poll I want to see is one that says there is a Republican ahead of 0bama in November.

They just use pictures and cartoons to communicate... Need to use something... anything... semaphores? morse code? to choose the not-Rotney.
This poll is valid, as it goes, given that it uses conservative types... you know, like the Diane Sawyers and Stepphie types. In other words: its useless.

When ask a multiple choice question “Which best defines Conseervatism to you?” 59% of the “conservatives” who found Romney acceptable picked:
any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

Need to use something... anything... semaphores? morse code? to choose the not-Rotney. Once upon a time, logical discussion worked - and then it got nasty.
The Gallup Poll was conducted Jan. 5-8 among 479 Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, and has a margin of error of plus or minus 6 percentage points.
Nope, I'm not giving a poll like this too much credence.

You are sounding like a Romney supporter. Is that right?

59 percent of conservatives said the former Massachusetts governor was an acceptable Republican presidential candidate... . Just 46 percent said the same for Newt Gingrich and 45 percent for Rick Santorum
I'll bet they forgot to call Todd Palin.
