Gallup Presidential Election Trial Heat Results: Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney
Based on this forum, there is no silent majority.


And it doesn't have the over/under. Basically it is a dead heat. Means it will be an interesting summer. Bring on the wacko commercials.

Right!

"As long as Romney continues to poll low with women and non-whites (polls matter ), these polls are pretty meaningless (polls don't matter )."

That sure is a awful lot of self-contradiction in one sentence.

Do you always disagree with yourself so sharply when trying to make a point?

How about you go ahead and finish having this debate with yourself, and don't forget to let us know which of you wins.

I do think he will, but that may be optimistic thinking.

Even more interesting, here is the original source:
Romney, Obama in Tight Race as Gallup Daily Tracking Begins

Scroll down a bit, and you will see that Romney supporters are actually more likely to vote than Obama supporters. So much for that tired old line about conservatives staying home.

From the looks of this, who knows how this race will go from here. Neither candidate seems to have a statistically significant advantage.




Not a huge Romney fan, but I gotta call this one.

Obama is in a place from which no sitting president has ever won a second term.

I won't repeat the long list of nevers that stand between Obama and a second term but any of them alone should prove as insurmountable this year as they have throughout the history of the modern presidency.

Combined...forget about it.

There is a reason Obama isn't ahead in this contest with an approval rating above 53%.

America has seen what he's about and they have rejected him.

When the "don't knows" vote, they'll break 80/20 in favor of Romney.

This isn't as close as it seems.

Where are all of the naysayers, who poo pooed the Fox and Rasumussen polls?




Take note of that 12% undecided.

If Obama isn't ahead by four or five points when those undecideds vote, he will lose because the undecideds will break heavily in favor of the challenger.

It's not that they are undecided.

They just aren't sold on the incumbent.

I supported Santorum here in Michigan.

The week before our primary, Santorum had a significant lead.

By the time we voted the negative ads Romney ran had diminished support for Santorum to the point that Romney squeaked out a win.

So yes, Romney, unlike McCain, can move the numbers.

For the past four years, Obama has been the darling of the LSM.

Their sleazy unprincipled support of him has been absolute.

This will now change as we enter the general election with his supporters in the media unable to control the avalanche of negative press their boy king is about to receive.

The truth is, all any GOP candidate had to do was ask, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" and then measure for drapes at the White House.

With Obama actually trailing in the contest, the future looks pretty bleak for the pretender in chief.

I have a couple neighbors who are/where swooners and they have made a harsh about face on the great ONE. Hell my wife even fell for this guys nonsense but his actions will speak louder than words and the swooning is over for many I think. I can't believe anybody still buys the lies he throws around every time he speaks. It's an insult to the American people. Of course the loudest squealers are the pure communists who love what he's doing so no surprise there.

Oh for gods sakes...no one is a communist. You're an insult to our country for even suggesting that. Yes you are an insult because some disagree with you but you are determined to make sure you discredit those who don't agree
