Row faster, Mainstream Media! Faster!
There are all kinds of polls out there, but except for a single outlier, even in polls that show Obama ahead of Romney, the President is still stuck in the mid-forties -- the last place any incumbent wants to be.
Today, Gallup's daily tracking poll gives the White House and Obama's Media Palace Guards another reason to gulp:
Romney 48%
Obama 43%
More bad news for Obama is that his challenger is already romantically close to that magic 50% number.
The bad news for us is that if these polls continue to show Obama in serious trouble, the media is going to absolutely freak out and start their salting-the-earth crusade early.

I think I have a headache
No shocker. The plan is to have Romney lead in the polls until after the convention. He is only winning when people buy the “he can beat Obama” line.
You would rather have Obama?
There are plenty of dissatisfied liberals who will be happy to vote for Romney. My vote won’t be missed.
I wouldn’t. I’m pretty certain Romney doesn’t hate whites. I knew Hissein did before he became the nominee.
Seriously, what are the main differences between the two?

I think anyone who is planning to skip the vote for Romney in the general should go on record. Then when we get four more years of weaselBama we will know to discount and ignore your every word of complaint.
“The plan is to have Romney lead in the polls until after the convention.”
And for maybe a week after the convention. Romney must look invincible, inevitable or there is a possibility of a brokered convention, and possibly no Romney.
I think the dems whole campaign depends on Romney, based on the ideas being floated- wealthy white guy, one of the 1%, lays people off for his profit, does not pay his fair share, belongs to a religion that once excluded dark-skinned people as a matter of doctrine, and so on.
Polls are designed to change, not reflect, opinion for the most part.
Hard to believe it is 43%
The right track/wrong track poll says only 32% believe we are on the right track.
“There are plenty of dissatisfied liberals who will be happy to vote for Romney. My vote wont be missed.”
Oh, really? Why would you believe that?
“Seriously, what are the main differences between the two?”
Romney is not a crazed Black Liberationist marxist who wants to destroy white AmeriKKKa?
Not really, but after living through what Shwartzwenegger did to the California GOP it is a question.
All the polls of likely voters show him behind.
Is that part of the double secret probation plan? Whose plan?
Dems, ya best broom this Obama America hater off the stage right now!!! I just want all you liberal, lowlife, dirt bag types out there, to be aware that I called the 2010 Mid Term Elections to a tee!!! Not bragging, just telling you how the winds are blowing!!! If Mitt Romney has any brains at all, he will choose a bonafide, unquestioned, conservative VP nominee to run with him. If Romney does that alone, he will beat Obama 55% to 45%. Obama will not carry more then eight to ten states.
And.....Dems you all are going down politically with Obama. You still have time to force this failed POTUS Obama to....either elect not to run for POTUS or....resign immediately!!! You dummies won’t do either!!! So enjoy your future, adrift at sea!!!
I want Newt, but as Mark Levin said last week, if it comes down to Romney being the GOP candidate, he will vote against Obama.
Choosing between two liberals doesn’t earn my vote. Strict constructionist conservatives like myself realize that the war is already lost. Even if “my guy” were to win it would only result in anarchy as we have grown our dependent class to unsustainable proportions. If you feel good voting for Romney have at it. I’m not going to waste my remaining time rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
one hates America, the other doesn’t. which would you prefer?
Yes, I believe you've stated the main difference between the two.
Did you watch the video at the link I provided?
And people wonder why “prepping” has become such a popular hobby these days...
And, shouldn't the same be done with those voting from Romney? Then, if Romney gets in and sells out conservatives, decimates the Republican party and puts another David Souter on the Supreme Court, we'll know whose opinion to discount and ignore?
Not a shocker at all.
I'd rather live with a socialist that hates crackers in the White House for four years than live with one that doesn't for eight years.
“I wouldnt. Im pretty certain Romney doesnt hate whites. I knew Hissein did before he became the nominee.”
That and another fours years of staring at Moochelle’s ugly (”get Whitey”) mug.
There is no possibility of a brokered convention. The odds of that happening were always slim to none - the odds now are none.
Polls are designed to change, not reflect, opinion for the most part.
Gallup is not involved in some kind of weird conspiracy to nominate Willard. They started doing the head to head polling when it became obvious to every political analyst and pollster in the entire world that Mitt had effectively locked up the nomination already.
It’s shocking that there are idiots out there who still plan on voting for Obama.
Nothing they throw against Romney will make a difference. The Jeremiah Wright story would have sunk any candidate; Obama survived it only because the economy was in free-fall. With the economy stuck where it is now, Romney will cruise to election even if they have film of him performing polygamous marriages.
Yet the GOP and their Mittstream Media operatives laboriously detailed how every single Republican candidate other than Mitt was "unelectable."
At any rate, Kerry was ahead of Bush solidly until about July. I wouldn't count your mittens yet.
He proved yet again that he is grossly arrogant, utterly ignorant, a shameless liar, or perhaps all three. It is now abundantly clear that this man deserves the re-election vote of virtually no American.
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. The Hate Whitey jungle drums have been mostly suppressed in the first term. Just wait for the second.
Is that Romney or Obama? It is hard to tell.
Do you think Romney is the same as a crazed Black Liberationist marxist who wants to destroy white AmeriKKKa?
Cripes.
Pretty much.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." -C. S. Lewis
I wish they could both lose but at worst I'll be half happy.
Not true. 19 states with almost 1,000 delegates have left to vote. Romney isn't even close to having the 1,144 delegates he needs. He needs about half of the upcoming ones. He's the weakest frontrunner in at least 35 years. This has been an unprecedented primary in many ways, starting when 3 different candidates won the first 3 states. If the voters in the next 19 states don't want Romney, they have the power to choose a brokered convention.
I want Newt, but as Mark Levin said last week, if it comes down to Romney being the GOP candidate, he will vote against Obama.
__________________________________________________________
Well, will somebody please tell Mark Levin that Massachusetts is Ameratopia.
He know’s that Newt is still in the race and he also told his listeners that he would support Newt if he was the only conservative left.
I refuse to give Levin a pass when he knows that more babies will be murdered and those that survive the womb will be at the mercy of the Sodomites. Guess what? There is NO MERCY with sodomites. Hide your kids folks.
i’m disgusted!
I won’t vote for Romney and I won’t vote for Obama.
It’s going to be a write-in Newt Gingrich for me.
But I will be patient and wait until after the convention. I really don’t think Romney will get the vote.
Oh, how I wish we had something like the Swift Vets who drowned Kerry to drown Romney.
I’m not postulating any weird conspiracy. Polls generally get pushed and talked about in MSM to influence opinion. They are using crowd logic- if everyone thinks “x”, then I’m more inclined to think “x” too, and a poll is the major way I learn what “x” is.
“The Jeremiah Wright story would have sunk any candidate”
McCain never brought it up. The voting public has a short memory.
Hey, what do you think vote fraud is for? A few percentage points can be swept under the carpet. All that matters is who counts the votes. So relax.
The Bro’ Gotsta Go!
Okie dokie. You keep believing that. Eventually reality will hit you, but I know some people aren't ready to face it yet.
Looks like Free Republic needs to work harder. It’s early but increasing from 2 to 5 % in a day makes a Romney win seem more likely. That can’t be allowed to happen.
I believe that too. Don't vote, can't complain about who is in office.
Since this is coming from Gallup, it’s probably more like 60%-40%.
If the American people had an honest Media, it would be 95%-5% in favor of a retarted clam running against Obama.
Why do Romney boosters sound just like the Leftist Stasi,
‘you must vote like we say’.
What alleviates my headache is the idea of a Kenyan communist continuing to control our Soldiers and Marines.
Yeah, our military is much better off under Obama.
Good call.
