Internals?
IIRC, this poll is heavily weighted in the D/R/I breakdown to Ds.
This poll also defies Gallup and Rasmussen.
Who’d they poll, Gitmo inmates?
Al Reuters will pump up Obummer’s numbers until right before the election, then issue some less bogus figures at the last minute so they can later point out how accurate they were.

The Reuters/Ipsos poll of 1,131 registered voters was conducted from May 3 to May 7 and has a 3 percent margin of error.
In other words, they are tied for practical purposes.
From the article:
“A USA Today/Gallup poll released on Monday showed the two candidates locked in a statistical tie in the 12 battleground states that will play a critical role in determining the outcome of the 2012 election.”
Obama is in trouble but with his huge warchest, beating him won’t be easy. Romney needs every vote.
Reuters heh heh...

Why change communists in the middle of a takeover?
Poll is based on registered voters, not likely voters.
Reuters poll over-samples Democrats by 9 percent, finds 7-point Obama edge
“...a January Gallup poll found that Democrats outnumber Republicans in the United States by only 4 percent...
...the Americans polled by Reuters were 47 percent Democrats, 38 percent Republicans and 15 percent independents - a nine-point difference in favor of voters likely to support President Obama’s re-election effort.,...”
AND see my post 8, with link to the actual Ipsos site, which states that the poll was of ADULTS, not even of registered voters.
Obama must be in real trouble, if they have to poll adults AND oversample Dems to make it look as if he were ahead.
Need more lies.
Al reuters? They jest!
Al Reuters. Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 4 years, check out every reuters article on obama: it’s a kiss ass article, everyone of them..
ZERO IS OUT.
People saying what they are saying, fearful of being called “racists”.
Reuterville is the home of foreign Leftists who want an Obama reelect more than anyone.
My theory on polling up until the election.
Most voters are meh on Romney. Hell, the choices in the primary was lackluster at best. So if polled about it, folks just can’t be all “HELL YES I’m voting for Romney” and just don’t think about it much.
However, on election day, when walking into the booth, I just can’t see them tapping the box next to Obama’s name. Even IF you are lucky enough to have kept your job, your disposable income has shrunk drastically due to high gas prices and the increase in food and other items. You will have moaned at the last of vacation you could afford this summer. You will have felt the pinch of school clothes and supplies. And on and on.
So polling isn’t really THAT big a deal right now. And that’s not even taking into account the heavily skewed results of over polling Democrats.
Yes, still deep in the woods. Still, Reuters? It might as well be a Debka/RT poll.
Reuters says so? Oh well then, it must be so.
This article will be the impetus for my next Freeper Editorial.
Ah hell, I’m gonna’ call the race and bookmark this: Mittens by more than 5 and less than 7.
