Sorry, but the polls predicting Obama's win in 2008 were correct, and they may be close to the mark now. We have our work cut out for us, so we'd better think long and hard about who we throw our support behind.

Bingo. It's not hard to see a trend, people can just look at the RCP average - and dismiss any outliers if they'd like. Hussein is up across the board in most all polling including Rasmussen. When people whine about the polls, it just means they don't like the results.

Poll that shows Obama's approval sinking = good and believable. Poll that shows Obama's approval rising = lies by the evil polling companies. The truth is, polling is increasingly very accurate, especially when using a tool like the RCP average.

Economic news hasn't sucked as much lately and that has helped Hussein. Additionally, if we are talking about contraception, we are losing. Period. Even on something as disgusting as Obama trying to force religious institutions to cover birth control against their will. Truth is, most people want their contraception covered (even if they'd rather not talk about or admit it), Obama knows it, and that is why this administration loves that we've been on the topic of birth control.

I think you're right, the polls are pretty accurate. Remember its only human nature to lash out against unpleasant news. so its not uncommon on FR for posters to diss poll results they don't like. Fact is, between the economic numbers being cooked and the media painting a rosy picture to protect Obama, the perception of the sheeple is that "things are getting better", or, "things aren't that bad, and in any case it's Bush's fault", and both misperceptions help Odumbears.

Anyone who buys groceries or puts gas in their car or eats at a restaurant knows that inflation is way, way worse than the media and government report. That should count for something. But a good portion of the sheeple will shrug it off for the reasons noted above. I can't tell you how maddening it is to talk to someone (and I've done it a lot) who knows all of these things, yet still says they "like" Obama. I ask them what's to like, and they say things like he's "nice". Well, cripes, there are huge numbers of "nice" people out there, does that mean they would be a good fit for the presidency? Unbelievable.

The real truth is that republicans are engaged in a contested primary and Obama is not. Obama trailed McCain while he was engaged in a contested primary despite the fawning of the MSM. When the primary is over and some truth hits the airwaves via conservative media buys we will get a true picture.

Until then we will not. That is the truth of the matter.

BTW, if you look at the tabs in the poll Obama is underwater by 10 points on every economic question and those worried about losing their job is up 7 points from a year ago.

Things are not as rosey for the prince as they would have you believe.
