None of the polls, regardless of what they are showing mean a damn. The public doesn’t start focussing on the elections until after the conventions and Labor Day. Reagan was trailing Carter at this point.
I’ve watched these elections for years now, and I’ve learned not to ignore the polls. They certainly aren’t the end all and be all, but at the end, they’re very good.
What I’d really like to see are Romney’s own internal polls. As a businessman, he’d want accurate data. I’m betting he has a decent polling system doing.
Let me give him some good advice. Quit the rope-a-dope here in Ohio, and defend yourself...if you desire to win.
