New poll numbers

Posted: Aug 8, 2012

despite pessimism about the future, American voters do not appear to be holding it against Democratic President Obama. A Reuters monthly poll, conducted after Romney returned from his overseas disaster and following release of July jobs numbers, shows growth in President Obama’s lead among registered likely voters. The democratic-style “otherness” argument, that Romney Hood is out of touch with those voters residing outside the 0.1% privileged circles, seems to be taking its toll. Chip, chip, chip.

here on this very board, polls do not mean anything. It's like the stock market. No real reason for going up or down.

The only thing this link shows is that the people who did vote in it do not understand what is going on. I think it would be wise for people to educate themselves before voting in any polls.

Perhaps, but when a variety of polls - consistently show

widening gaps between candidates over time, and when those gaps begin approaching double digits, they become a bit more significant. This is even more true when the countdown to the election is measured in the tens instead of hundreds of days. Swing state polling also favors President Obama, particularly when calculating that majic 270 number of electoral votes.

Trends of this nature become harder and harder to reverse, especially when one of the candidates' camp has not demonstrated the ability to control the national dialog any longer than a few hours at a time, and has shown its greatest strength lies in walking back major faux pas, ignoring advice from both parties, and shielding tax returns from public scrutiny, thus creating relentless speculation over many consecutive years of zero-sum tax remittance.

It's not that hard to figure out which party has their campaign deeply rooted in the belief that keeping voters as uninformed as possible is their ticket to the White House. BTW, an election victory, whether at the hands of elite academic intellectuals or throngs of illiterate uneducated masses, by any other name, is still an election victory, isn't it?

No, I think we have discounted Rasmussen and Fox - sm

We only agreed to throw out the biased polls. Also, the stock market is perfectly scientific. There is always a reason, but just like the conservative philosophy, it is based on the flavor of the day.

If you recall, last April/May, I said sell in May and go away (while the supertraders take a vacation, use rumors to run down the market--Greece and Spain being the recurring theme, and then they buy back when low and make a good profit. Check the Dow chart for the last 6 months and see if what I have said is not true. Hope you made some money. Hee, hee.

Enlightening article. Here's an excerpt: "But, if Clinton's sinking poll numbers were to be expected as she re-entered the arena, the pace of their drop and the depths to which they have fallen are surprising. Looking at the national numbers, Clinton's favorable numbers have come close to collapsing over the past eight months or so; her unfavorable numbers in Iowa and New Hampshire are, without exaggeration, near Trump-ian levels -- and that's a very bad thing considering th ...

The campaign to mislead the public, discourage conservative voters, etc. is underway, full bore. Do NOT believe ANY polls. Think for yourself - and VOTE, regardless of any polls that might suggest that Obama has this sewn up. The DNC had a disastrous convention and they're also trying to make that look like the best thing since conventions began. (You can tell from the desperation of his campaign strategy that HE knows he doesn't have it sewn up.) ...

[Interestingly, Pew Research points to Fox News as a big problem with the GOP. Note that Fox News was created to make money by selling a specific niche viewer group to advertisers -- those people who felt the mainstream media weren't conservative enough. Fox doesn't exist TO promote far-right views, that's just a byproduct of its process. (Of course, the various far-right websites and blogs are a whole different thing.) ] From the Washington Post: The numbers prove it: T ...

- is that Obama had these numbers when he stood up and made his speech last night. The POTUS is always advised of the numbers on the day before any significant labor (or other economic) numbers are released. So I think it's pretty fair, at this point, to call Obama an unmitigated, narcissistic liar to stand before the American people and beg for four more years when he had been given even more evidence than he already had that there is no justification on earth to give his failed pol ...

imported into the United States. If I recall correctly, the Obama administration’s stated goal is to bring in 100,000 this year. Refugee resettlement is a big business now in the USA, driven by lavish funding from the federal government with additional assistance from Soros-type NGOs. In particular, mainstream Protestant denominations are cashing in on the windfall by offering their services as charitable experts to help resettle the new arrivals.

More than half the people who enrolled in Obamacare last year don’t plan to sign up again—and that’s bad news for the president’s healthcare law. A new Bankrate survey reveals that 53 percent of current Obamacare enrollees who signed up through the exchanges said they would not be enrolling for 2015. Their reason--“much higher prices for health plans.” Uh, oh. Did I hear that Obamacare was supposed to lower health insurance premiums? ...
