If you sample REGISTERED VOTERS you will find their popularity numbers tallying significantly less than 100%. At the same time the margin of error is increasing with each poll.
What that means is quite obvious ~ that more and more folks otherwise adherents of both major parties are showing less and less interest in either candidate.
The one yesterday gave Obama as low as 39% and Romney 42%! THAT IS INCREDIBLE!
If you simply post the results of "Probable voters" you'll never see the race to the bottom. TALLY the two candidate's percentages and they'll be pretty close to 100% ~ rather than 81%.
I think it would be a good idea to cover the most recent Registered Voter Poll simultaneously with the most recent Probable Voter Poll so that we get a truer idea of how the two compare and contrast with each other as well as how they are being accepted/rejected in the most general sense.
If this race to the bottom continues you'll see the combined Obama and Romney popularity falling below 50% ~ which will presumably happen BEFORE the convention thereby giving Romney a chance to back out gracefully and give a Conservative a shot at rejuvenating a dying Presidential election.
From your lips to the “wishful thinking” god’s ears.
giving Romney a chance to back out gracefully
Like that would ever happen, If the horse learns to sing Romney will have to be man-handled off the stage.
