Engage people. Ask what they are thinking, and then gently seize on any doubts and subtly interject facts and statistics to buttress those doubts. For sure, do not waste any time at all with Obamabots. Spend your time only where it might make a difference.

Good advise!

Oh! Is that right? These are INSIDE pollsters?

Are you sure? Any supporting evidence?

(I’m not calling you out or anything... just interested.)

Well, that’s still a significant change.

You need to add:

8) Greatly reduce legal immigration - ending all illegal immigration tomorrow would still leave a million-plus pro-Democrat legal immigrants per year. To avoid demographic destruction, the GOP must end mass immigration.

I wonder what method these insiders' polls use that makes them more reliable than Rasmussen or Mason-Dixon, for example?

Who the heck is “Foster McCollum White & Associates, Baydoun Consulting and Douglas Fulmer & Associates”?

Perhaps you know them better as

If it seems like an outlier, it probably is an outlier. If Barry thought he was down double-digits in Florida, he’d be living there.

We don’t like Bambi here. I live in the only county McGovern carried in Florida, home of UF. Will be interesting to see if Bambi takes it this year but no way he takes Florida. It is permeating like 1980 which I remember very clearly.

I'm not surprised. I just started looking at the Rasmussen cross-tabs, and I'm beginning to see some potential patterns that need more analysis before I report.

That said, a first glance suggest that Ohio looks like Florida. If true, then the next "poll shocker" may come from there.

“Maybe , but we have to find a way to KEEP the majority in both Houses for the forseeable future . Not much good if we are going to hand it back to the left in 4 or 8 years . Been that route time and time again.”

Yeah, look at the golden opportunity we gave the RINOS in 2000 and what they did with it. We have to start right now to get rid of all the people of the “Boner Ilk.” We would not have a problem in 4 or 8 years if these AH’s ever delivered on their promises and tried not to be like Democrat Lite. We have to be ever vigilant for signs of the Republicans chrome plating turds and telling us that prosperity is just around the corner.

This poll polls Likely Voters therefore is one of the more credible ones.

“Greatly reduce legal immigration - ending all illegal immigration tomorrow would still leave a million-plus pro-Democrat legal immigrants per year. To avoid demographic destruction, the GOP must end mass immigration.”

The time has come to essentially “end immigration”, period.

Enough are here for 50 years into the future, at least.

Let assimilation happen, if it’s even possible anymore.

We don’t need any more, for a while. Perhaps an exception could be made for Caucasian South Africans and [former] Rhodesians who will soon be facing genocide. We could use those folks.

But that’s about it.

I wonder why that is? Could it be the numbers they are getting are extremely alarming for the messiah?
