I haven't argued that point, though a few others were closer. However, it doesn't change the fact that Rasmussen's model has issues when you aren't close into an election.

But the source you listed differs from other sources I've checked.

This is not suprising. JOBS JOBS JOBS. The economy is stabalizing but employment growth is still declining to stagnant in many parts of the country. Job growth is NOT keeping up with population growth and that is causing big problems in the Sunbelt given all the in-migration into those areas over the past several years.

Huh? The source I listed is actual a GOP leaning website, that listed all of the polls. The source you showed was an average of all the polls, you tried to attribute to a single pollster

For one thing, you said that the NBC poll was more accurate than the Rasmussen poll. Not according to the link you posted.

And again, the Rasmussen poll was very accurate, whether you want to believe it or not.

Your posts and the stats you provide mean nothing to me at all. I only know that you people love bashing President Obama because of the probability that you have lots of time on your hands.

My question to you people on the right, just one question, were you equally dissatisfied with the last man in office, or, did you overlook his failures and lies? You know, it took almost 8 years of lousy leadership to get us where we are now, and with a global recession, I think any person in the White House would be having a difficult time, not just President Obama.

How in the heck are businesses to expand or even begin (new business) if Banks are not loaning any money? I'd be happy if the U.S. Government slapped wall streeters with heavy fines. They're controlling the money supply, which means, they have money, but are not loaning. tightwads.
where was there fiscal responsibility for past 8 years. Bills were introduced to regulate, and bush swept them under the rug.
The right made this mess, passed it onto the democratic party and are now blaming the democratic party for their messes.
You cannot fight 2 wars and cut taxes, period.

I am sorry but I did not overlook the lies of the past administration anymore that the present administration.

That is hopefully the good thing about having 2 incompetent administrations in a row, maybe people will finally wake up!
