And then there’s the whole chicken nugget dilemma. Spicy, or regular? Ranch, or Sweet & Sour?

“Not all independents are “mooshy middle” by the way... You can find a lot of conservatives who consider themselves independents”

That is the truth. I would like to see a ideological poll of independents to see what the make up is.

Really?

Who would you vote for between Senator candidates (If you were from Massachusetts) Elizabeth Warren or Scott Brown? Compared to nearly all republicans, Scott Brown is liberal. However, I would rather have him than the Cherokee wanna-be.

If 0bama is re-elected it will be because of people like you.

Our nation is held hostage by a socialist and may not survive if O is elected. Why not “stop the bleeding” now and get a better candidate the next time. Or, do you want to prove your point so much that you’re willing to see our nation quickly go into socialist policies???

Starting in January, the poll has consisted of Republicans at 25%, 23%, 27%, 23%, and now 22%.

If we extapolate these results, there will 19% Republicans by November.

Best bet for the GOP is to talk enough of the delegates into skipping the first round or voting at the convention, cause I don’t think the folks who say they wont vote for a socialist even if he has a R behind his name are bluffing.

Very astute observation on your part myself6.

These are the same people who bring the drive thru to a screeching halt for fifteen minutes because they can't decide what to order off of the Value Menu.

LOL! Ain't that the truth?

I park and go in specifically to avoid these nimrods and they'll do the same damn thing at the counter. But at least I'm not idling off $3.75 per gallon gas while waiting for them to make up their minds.

The terrifying part is that 45% either don’t know or believe that government is best at creating jobs. This election is a close thing and unless we get our children’s minds back from the government school system our America isn’t long for this world.

That 47% of any sample could say that Obama could handle the economy better than anyone else speaks to the insanity of the group.

People are simply are lying to the poll takers simply to not reveal their true feelings about Obama, which is negivtive at best.

TV and government schooling have done their work lobotomizing America.

It may be because people are simply tired of seeing Obama everywhere in their face with his teleprompter. Too much Obama means he definitely will never win.

Put perfectly, but you better be careful with this kind of talk. Folks have been booted from here for saying similar things. Hell I'm probably in danger for even areeing with you.

It is that thought pattern that the GOP-e are following as a game plan. I believe it to be incorrect. I am of the opinion that the side that turns out their BASE is the side that wins elections. There simply is not enough motivated middle anymore.

I also believe that the GOP-e will lose in the exchange of the base who will not vote for Romney, because they will not gain enough independants to compensate for the loss.

BINGO! That's why as much as I really DO NOT like Brown (he's voted for some really bad legislation), I WILL vote for him in November: the alternative, Granny Tee-Pee, is truly horrific.

It's the same dilemma we have with Romney vs. Obama. Romney sucks, but we CANNOT survive four more years of the Kenyan.

Correct me please if I am mistaken, but I believe the pollsters, as a rule, recalculate the raw returns according to party affiliation. The numbers they report are not the raw numbers but the “recalculated according to sampling” numbers.

If there is an actual polling expert out there, please verify or clarify, thank you.
