National Journal: Obama 50 Romney 45
National Journal ^

Posted on 10/31/2012 1:09:16 PM PDT by PatrickHaggerty

Overall, the survey found Obama leading Romney among likely voters by 50 percent to 45 percent, after the two tied at 47 percent each in a late-September Congressional Connection Poll. Conversely, the poll recorded a slight shift toward the GOP in House races. Now, 47 percent of likely voters say they would prefer that Republicans maintain their House majority, while 44 percent want Democrats to take over; Democrats held a 45 percent to 43 percent advantage in late September. Voters, by a solid 50 percent to 40 percent margin, now say they would prefer a Democratic Senate; that’s up from a 47 percent to 42 percent advantage for Democrats in September.

I’m glad I started moving money into an offshore account last year. Working on getting a non-US passport.

Looks like a disaster for Pelosi... On the Senate, I am not sure how good a generic ballot is...

Odd that it is not up on their web site. Also, odd that is so out of sync with all other responsible national polls.

Princeton Survey Research Associates did the National Journal poll from 10/25 to 10/28, found Obama up 5.— Jay Cost (@JayCostTWS) October 31, 2012


So let's wrap our mind around this one, gang. Princeton Survey Research Associates did the Pew poll from 10/24 to 10/28. Found a tie.— Jay Cost (@JayCostTWS) October 31, 2012

Let me save the Nervous Nancy types the time and effort and simply say:

“Oh no, this poll deeply concerns me! I think we're in trouble!”

Sorry, couldn't resist...because you know these “concern” posts are coming. ;-)

I think it's time to stop posting them. I don't mean that as a slight to you personally. I just mean we should stop giving websites pushing that kind of tripe hits and attention that they don't deserve. Hell with 'em.

I am awaiting information on the poll to know what to think about it. Meanwhile I am quite dubious of it. The National Journal article seems flush with conclusions and assertions but kind of sparse on methodology and veracity. I did not notice the party ID break down, or if they weight to party ID...where did you see that it was D+8?

United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International, surveyed 1,010 adults—including 713 likely voters by cell phone and landline—on Oct. 25-28. It has a margin of error of 3.7 percentage points for the entire sample, and 4.4 percentage points for likely voters.

This from the website for the company that did the poll:

“Responsive

Working closely with each client to achieve the client’s research goal is what we do every day, even as those goals change.”

IOW... they will get the results that their clients need!!! BOGUS POLL!

In its likely-voter model, the Congressional Connection Poll projected that the 2012 electorate will be virtually unchanged from 2008, with Democrats holding an 8 percentage-point advantage among voters (compared with 7 points last time) and whites representing 73 percent of voters (compared to 74 percent last time).

They are dreaming

Actually I am glad it was posted so Freepers can get a chance to gather information I would otherwise have to hunt around for.
