Doesn't matter. We got a new Zogby special saucer named Nate Silver at the NYet...
I think Romney is winning by 3-4 points. He’s up anywhere from 4-10 points with Independents. In the NR poll he’s up 49-41 with Indies. Obama will NOT win without winning Independents.
Kerry won 20 states and McCain won 22.
Three times in two days I've been approached by strangers wanting Romney gear. I know it's just anecdotal and really doesn't mean anything but I'm amazed by it...and encouraged.
Having said that, the significance of the very low poll participation rate (9%) should not be forgotten. If there is indeed a systematic skewing of the demographic sample due to the low participation (R&R supporters like me consistently refusing to answer polls) then the actual results may be very different, but not because the polls were inaccurate. The polls only predict what those willing to be polled will indicate.
You said it. I simply cannot believe that there's that many stupid people in the Republic. We are done if the bastard gets back in, of that I have no doubt.
Huh? He’s up by 1.5 points based on the last 6 polls. The MOE is 3ish. He’s not outside the MOE, not by a long shot.
Furthermore, these are based on a avg of D+5 samples. The turnout will not be D+5. So factor that into it and the race is certainly not in Obama’s favor, and most likely in favor of Romney by a point or two.
And finally, the bulk of the 4-6% undecideds are almost assured to go for Romney at probably a 2-1 pace. They are not undecided about Obama after 4 years, while many are scared of the race card beatdown, hence it is easier to say, “not sure, undecided” and then go in the booth and punch the Romney oval.
McCain wasn’t running against an incumbent. Kerry should have won one or two states, and 30 years earlier that would have been the case.
For that matter, Obama never should have been elected. The democrats have been allowed to mainstream a destructive form of liberalism. They have New York and California locked up and the problem starts there.
We have people here who can vote but they are not citizens of this country in spirit. No other way to explain that the people of New York City would never have supported wars against the people who attacked them.
But I digress.
Zulu's post tells it all. >50% baby.
This is why I don't understand all the navel gazing on polls and ballots.
We've got to do an LBO on the MSM, and take over the Journalism schools and government schools for the long term NOW.
Carpet bombing the TV ads and GOTV? We need to be voting in Board of Directors at NBC. New media is, is that stupid Hannity video "firecracker" last night.
Suppose Romney wins? The MSM will turn 53% into 65% by 2014.
Newt or Santorum would speak to these Obamaphone freaks how?
The GOPe is just rearranging the deck chairs...that's all that's left to do.
Who won the independents
If Americans want four more years, they deserve it.

And all the mocking and derision that comes with it.
So in a Dem +7 poll it is tied, but in a Dem +3 poll Obama has a 3 point lead?
Dear sir, where did you hear this if you dont mind me asking? THats not very professional of him if he did and only tells me that he wants to keep it very close so that more people sign up for the “premium access” so that they can track everything daily. What a jerk imho.
Unless we knock out the government schools we’ll never get our country back. Here’s a typical teacher at one of Chicago’s top grade schools:

This school is known as Bell School. Look it up. Parents fight to get into this school, they’re very involved, etc. Yet without school competition it’s a liberal echo chamber.
And yet, schools are state funded and we can't affect them even in the Reddest of red states.
I don't care what the price of milk is.
I want Romney to know the price of a gallon of gasoline, and what it was in January, 2009.
Almost every other price is at least somewhat derived from that.
