Funny how that 'credible' ideology is not winning over the majority of Republican voters now, but somehow will win over the majority of the general electorate in November.
Must be an outlier! /s
But, what if it’s reality?
Oops! With apology to Rick Perry...
Whenever I am working some type of mathematical problem for work or daily life... I always try to make sure my answer makes sense before I take action. In this case we have 30% more voters than normal showing up for Republican Caucuses and Primaries. We have 30% less people showing up for the Democrat contests. On the Republican side we have one candidate who is winning decisively. On the Democrat side we have one candidate who is losing decisively. So on its face this poll quite obviously does not add up. The fact that the losing candidates and the GOPe are embracing it this morning is to be expected but reeks of desperation.
LOL, Sanders over Trump....ok I’ll stop reading this crap.
You said: “Nonsense. These are being put out there to influence voters.
No way can Cruz or Rubio beat either dem. < - Fact.”
No, these are the same kinds of polls we see every election year from the same polling sources. Sometimes they tell us things we like, and sometimes they do not. It is important to be rational about this.
Who believes that CNN wants the Republican to win this election anyways?
You said: “Funny how that ‘credible’ ideology is not winning over the majority of Republican voters now”
I would say it is sad, not funny.
And we are talking about actual polling data, and lots of it. Denying the data might make you feel better, but the data remains.
The difference between you and me is that I believe the polls are telling me my candidate (Cruz) is going to lose against Trump in most of the states today. And by the same token, the same data at this point suggests that Hillary will beat Trump in the general.
Live by polls; die by polls.
Yet, polls that show Trump up big, based on 400-500 data points are good. Amirite? This has been a trend for months now. Trump loses heads up with Cruz, Clinton, and Sanders.
To paraphrase Perry Como, “Don’t let the stars get in your eyes, don’t let The Don break your heart...”
Carter was “ahead” of Reagan in polls right up to election day. So believe what you want, wishful thinking rats. (And GOPe)
Actually I think ALL poles should be outlawed. They’re use has been bastardized to sway voter opinion/results for a particular outcome.........of course, that’s just my 2 cent worth of an opinion and that’s about what it’s worth. Having said all that, believe it or not I intend to vote for Ted Cruz in the Fla. primary.
Please keep saying this; please please keep saying it even if you know it’s a lie - that should be easy please keep saying it.
I'm more than happy to see what happens after the conventions. I disbelieve any general election poll at this point in time, particularly ones that are only being asked of registered voters vs. likely voters, and even that doesn't mean anything at this point in time.
Enthusiasm means more this election than most others. There will be little enthusiasm for Mr. Trump from the conservatives who are pulling for Mr. Cruz. That's a given. There will also be a lot of enthusiasm from every other demographic that will more than make up for the loss of conservative voters, especially when large numbers of dem voters defect for Mr. Trump.
It's a shame that Mr. Cruz is imploding, but it really didn't matter all that much as he is also lacking the enthusiasm factor, outside of conservatives, and that fact also is another reason I disbelieve the head to head polls and discount them as manufactured for an ulterior motive.
On the other hand, you have Clinton who has low enthusiasm overall, and then there will be the disaffected “millenials” who will sit out due to the fact that Sanders didn't get chosen.
Adding all of that up, and more, tells me that there is a lot of disinformation being offered up, and that fraud on voting day in November may be the only thing that actually matters as the winner may already be chosen.
Following polls before the last week in October cracks me up.
No, seriously.
Like, Jimmy Carter was up 62-32 over Reagan in the late winter of 1979-80. But then, there was a campaign. You know, a campaign FOR PRESIDENT. You know, after, like, Labor Day?
If the method of having idiots vote has any merit, it’s that most of them are able to change their minds when confronted with the facts.
When Trump is through with Hillary, she won’t be able to be elected activities director at the Villages, never mind President.
That was a great post.
“Trump is a weapon of the Democrat party. “
Seems like the weapon of those that rather stay home and complain.
Cruz supporters after Iowa:
All polls are inaccurate. They dont see ground game and secret armies.
Cruz supporters today:
This poll proves Trump I guaranteed to lose!!
I believe it, and celebrate you for your choice.
You make too much sense.
Stop!
