BULLSHITTY I don't believe any poll from the old media attempting to desperately encourage the liberal socialist base they still have a chance!

I said this more than a year ago, Obama is going to lose in November by a landslide never before seen in this Country, sending shock waves across the liberal socialist who will all be in therapy for a very long time!

The American people have been voting with their pocket books for the last three and half years. In 2010, the American people took most of the power from the liberal socialist by taking back the U.S. House of Representatives, and numerous State Governors Offices all across this great Country!

Recently, the liberal socialist Nazi’s wanted to stand on the neck of Chic-Fil-a and had their heads handed to them all across this Country!

The polls are not close by no stretch of the imagination, except in the old media who have a vested interest in their candidate Obama win reelection.

Stop posting and reading this stupid ignorant polls where the old media over samples liberal socialist between +6 and +9 percentage in order to provide the perception Obama is still competitive! If the old media told the truth, the base would not even show up to vote and if the liberal socialist did show up, it would be to throw the election by writing in another candidate or vote for a conservative in order to split the vote.

This poll is a great result. Using ‘registered’ voters and a +9 D sample this result puts me in a good mood. Even 2008 wasnt a +8 D turnout and there’s no chance this year being close to that. It will be maybe D +1 or 2. With a more accurate sample romney would be up over 50% and leading by around 5 which is a voter fraud proof lead!

A Romney lead with a +9 dem over sample among REGISTERED voters? Sorry, Romney haters but this equates to a 5% GOP win. This is exactly what Stephen Moore of the WSJ told us last week.

I think you stumbled upon something. The polls for all these last four races because that’s what the media wants to report. Not only does the media use that to boost rating and revenue, but they spin it as a negative for the republican in each of these. This poll is manufactured to be close with a huge dem advantage, where there real story is that Obama is way down, and Romney has a change to put this way in the next 30 days into the conventions and first debate

the +9 result some are referring to is of “Adult voters”...choose “Registered voters” from the pull down menu...unfortunately there is no choice of “Likely voters”

The rats and republicans are running neck and neck. That’s why the rats have lost every major election except one since Buckwheat was selected.

With as bad as Obama has been, this is not good for Romney.

If you believe the pap the WaPo is trying to force on you, you're correct.

However, even a teensy bit of analysis yields a much rosier picture for Romney's standing. A poll of Registered voters always leans left, as do polls conducted on the weekend. And, as others have mentioned, the oversample in this poll is ridculously left-leaning.

This poll is actually telling us that Romney has a significant lead, after months of attack ads which cost Lil' Barry $150 million or more, and before Romney has spent any of his general election cash.

Axlerod must be crapping his pants.

despite airing hundreds of millions of dollars in television ads — most of them negative — and exchanging some of the harshest early rhetoric seen in a modern presidential campaign.

The Romney campaign has hardly spent anything at all. Most of the ads on his behalf are PAC ads. After the convention, the Romney ad campaign will cut loose and it should be a sight to behold (at least I hope it is).

Y'see.

“With as bad as Obama has been, this is not good for Romney.”

with a +9 % advantage to Dems, this means that Romney is probably up by at least 5.

Also consider its a poll of a mixture of adults and registered voters, means an even larger advantage Romney.

My theory is people claim to be independents rather than tell somebody ‘it’s none of your business’.

Agree and I believe at this stage of the nrace there are NO undecideds among people who are committed to vote.

All these “undecideds” are people looking for attention.

Early this morning I'd just said: 'We no longer need, nor have much room for RINOs who claim to be Republican but then do the old reacharound with the Democrat professionals, or who were Democrat professionals ~ they simply are not needed.
