LOL Now that’s what I call fallacious reasoning. The Reps are more motivated to vote AGAINST OBAMA. If the Dems think the election is in the bag for Obama, they are the ones less likely to show up. And don’t discount the close senate race that will bring out voters.

They called it early, which hurt the Reps because the panhandle of FL is in the central time zone.

“The poll of likely voters said Obama will win 46 percent to 43 percent for Romney”

No,Obama cannot possibly win by 46 - 43. So the poll doesn’t say that.

Those undecideds have to go somewhere.

Further, I’m betting the poll’s margin of error is at least 2 or 3%, so the poll does not say Obama will win by 3.

I agree and thanks for posting the internals. I wish Jim would make that mandatory on polling posts.

I don't know how they got a way with the 11% independents in a national survey.

So according to this poll, Everyone favors Obama on every issue by a wide margin. Nonsense.

An then with a 3 percent margin of error, the poll could actually mean a 3 point Romney lead!

Who wanted Romney at all costs, who changed the rules for primary season/convention-all to solely benefit THE RINO Romney and crush any conservative candidate? The answer: THE GOP-E!
Romney will keep some of Obamacare and other damaging Democrat-backed policies.

I don't think either Romney, or the illegitimate one will win. I simply think one of them will lose and that it will be as close as 2000 was. Only this time the Supremes won't take the case.

And furthermore, if the loser is the illegitimate one, there will be much activity in the streets with one side rioting, burning and looting and the other side dancing!!!

That’s a pretty selfish attitude to take. Romney wasn’t my choice either, but I am not going to destroy the country because of it.

This is stupid thinking. Do these people realize that there are other things on the ballot besides Obozo. Where I live we have 3 tax increases for the state and 2 local tax increases I wouldn't not vote even if I thought Romney wouldn't win I would still go and vote. I actually think Romney is going to win. Come hell or high water I will be voting on Election day.

it is on the GOP-E not the conservative voters!

You bet it's on the conservative voters! RINOs will always part of the party, but they're only about 30-35% of the members. If conservatives could back one candidate only, Romney wouldn't have a chance. Yet, there were several of them. At the end, conservative candidates in the primary failed to persuade their fellow conservatives to vote for him/her instead of the other guy. That Romney is the nominee is not the sign of his campaign's strength. It's the sign of conservatives' failure.

I’m not buying any of the MSM Goebbels-style propaganda. Between now and November 6, there are thousands out there digging his dirt and there’s enough dirt to fill a landfill, IMO.

Yeah well... We're screwed because we value legitimate citizenship, legitimate registered voters (not motor voters) and candidates who value legitimacy, sincerity and integrity!!!

And especially, because we know the obvious differences between right and wrong along with morality and amorality because we're righteous constitutional conservatives!!!

We're also screwed without any lovin, simply because we're those miserable right-wing conservatives!!!
