I couldn't believe Rasmussen has Obama 50%, so I took a look back and was astonished to see after everything thats happen the last 4years hes only lost a point.
10/02/2008: McCain – 44%, Obama – 51% 10/01/2008: McCain – 45%, Obama – 51% 09/30/2008: McCain – 45%, Obama – 51% 09/29/2008: McCain – 45%, Obama – 50% 09/28/2008: McCain – 44%, Obama – 50% 09/27/2008: McCain – 44%, Obama – 50%

This worries me, too. The polls are nearly identical to where they were 4 years ago. I don’t feel good about it.
What nobody is counting is all the new voters. STOP WATCHING POLLS.
Follow the BIG donors. When they start bailing then the polls are true.
I never said I wasn’t voting. The 2008 polls didn’t stop me from voting for McCain, and I’ll vote for Romney in November.
But that doesn’t mean he’ll win.
The Tea Party didn’t exist in 2008. They seem to be large, well-organized, and are chomping at the bit to vote Obama out.
In 2008, we had anecdotal info about the PUMAs turning against Obama but that proved to be generally wishful thinking. I’d rather have the tea party groups on our side.
“What nobody is counting is all the new voters. STOP WATCHING POLLS.”
Yeah, but unfortunately, many of those new voters are college students come of age.
About that Obama student vote:
From a Fox News article, September 23rd:
“Nearly half of the young voters who in 2008 registered and cast their first presidential ballot may have not updated their voter registration, according to a new survey, a situation that could most impact President Obama considering that voting bloc helped him to victory four years ago.
The finding by the non-partisan group HeadCount found that seven out of 10 young voters changed residence in the past four years, and 43 percent of those potential voters have yet to update their voter registration.”
I see your peddling the astroturf so quietly.
Nice try .
Who don’t have jobs.

and just in time to promoting more astroturf to push dismay..
What is the weatther like in Chitown today ...
Actually Ras is one that is counting new R voters and high registration.
It is what it is; Romney at this point is losing. Deal.
To compare apples with apples, and not apples to Belgian endives, let's see where polling is on Wednesday.
Where is the Romney campaign hitting on the economy day after day and tying it to Obama’s policies?
The polls today are exactly where they were in 2008...
In 2008, it was Obamamania. Bumper stickers, crowded DNC offices, yard signs, millions of people in stadiums all chanting “OBAMA!”
In 2012, Obama’s presidency has brought zero economic growth to the country, Al-Qaeda on the rise again despite Bin Laden’s death, and a healthcare mandate that’s unpopularity (which continues to this day) got his party shellacked in the mid-term. There is no obamamania out there. Black pastors have turned against the president. He’s lost huge amounts of youth, Jews and Catholics. He’s the most hated president in history among conservatives.
The polls today are exactly where they were in 2008...
This should immediately set off alarm bells in your head. Something is screwy.
The Rasmussen spread now is 3, this is 6. The polls are much tighter this go around than in 08.
Remember 2010? Big Conservative turnout over 2008.
trolling? newbie.
I don’t believe it, there are so many variables that weren’t around last election... Deal yourself.
