It seems that every poll I see samples Dems in greater numbers than Republicans. Is there a reason for this other than to make Dems look stronger?

The Examiner isn’t playing along with the disinformation blitz of today?

The “bounce” of the DNC was probably negative, so the Rats put out their marching orders to the media - giving us the current news cycle and its rosy reports for the One.

Of course all the anti-Romneys in here can’t wait with ther “I told you so”. It ain’t over yet.

Democrats outnumber Republicans nationwide. State to state is a different story. As far as I know, Gallup is a reputable polling organization. Was their poll “skewed” to account for a gap between Republican and Democrat registrations/voters?

1995 - "If the glove don't fit, you must acquit".

2012 - "If the poll ain't skewed, Obama's screwed".

If someone like Rasmussen is also skewing his poll, that is scary. What about Romney’s internal polls? Wouldn’t his campaign find a way to communicate that these polls are inaccurate if his internals showed something significantly different? I don’t know what to believe.

So much for the “pressure” put on by David Axelrod & Company. That such pressure is employed in the first place, attests to the dishonest intent of just about everything the Chicago Machine has brought to national politics.

REAL polling, that which is read in the inner offices of both the Romney Campaign and the Obama campaign, probably indicate a much bigger bump for Romney than for the Current Occupant. Because the two conventions were practically a continuous event with no serious polling taken in between the gatherings, to claim that Romney got “no boost” while Current Occupant got a 2% or 5% or 8% boost is just whistling Dixie from your anal orfice.

No matter what the spread, the regime of the Current Occupant (which cannot be distinguished from the re-election campaign) will spin it up as a sort of psy-war tactic, in an attempt to get the conservatives squabbling with the more entrenched Republican establishment. But why would or should we be doing Obama’s work for him?

Maybe people like the Obama’s to entertain them by taking Big Vacations and playing Golf. It is a reality show we all pay for with our taxes. Only certain people even watch the news, when they are not texting some non-sense, or talking on a cell phone.

One thing is certain... even when we discount the Democrat oversampling in polls like this one, we cannot ignore the more trusted pollsters like Rasmussen (which polls likely voters ). I can’t believe that even Rasmussen is part of the MSM trying to dispirit Republicans.

It REALLY looks like Obama is leading in the polls at this point in time. We have to be realistic. It is what it is.

The main question is not whether or not the economy is bad. The economy IS bad and people know it.

However the huge factor is HOW DEPENDENT ARE AMERICANS BECOMING ON GOVERNMENT?

If the answer to the above question is this — VERY. Then yes, Obama might even win and we have to sadly conclude that we have crossed the tipping point in this country.

I have a very sick feeling that this might be the case (God forbid ). Consider these factors:

1) Nearly HALF of Americans pay no taxes ( 47% last I read ).

2) 1 in 3 Americans are in some sort of government welfare program.

3) 45 Million people on food stamps. Up by over 15 million compared to 4 years ago.

4) Obama promising to “help” those underwater in their mortgages and college students and grads who cannot pay back their college loans.

5) Auto workers in swing states like Michigan and Ohio being brainwashed into believing that it is good to bail out GM because Obama cares and wants to save their jobs.

Those factors CANNOT BE OVERLOOKED.

Once a significant number of our populace suck on the government’s teat.... it becomes like a drug which is very difficult to withdraw from and they will vote accordingly.

Many of these people are not even informed. They are too busy playing with their cell phones and texting.

What keeps me hopeful is that he couldn’t fill the stadium last week.

Any poll of registered voters [if you’ve got a driver’s license, you’re likely a registered voter] isn’t even worth analyzing.
