The Vastly Underimproved Poll Thread

Relax, friends. The NYT poll has been denounced as "biased."

No kidding.

This isn't he first time the Obama campaign complained of methodology problems in polls that looked bad for the president. In April, David Axelrod complained that a Gallup poll showing Romney leading Obama was "saddled with some methodological problems."

Holy shit.

It's not even June, and they're making flop-sweat by the fucking TON!

It's just the administrations way of sending a message to the media they need to get their house back in order. Accidentally letting factual information slip into their coverage won't be tolerated.

In New Hampshire, Nero +12, (Registered Voters), 53-41.

New Hampshire is supposed to be in play, but this poll seems to say otherwise.

what the hell is "flop-sweat"?

In Wisconsin, Nero +1 (Registered Voters), 47-46

Promising - Note Left Wing Poll.

what the hell is "flop-sweat"?

Theatrical term. It's the sweat a performer feels when he's failing (or "flopping"), in front of an audience.

It's what Albert Brooks got when he did the news on camera in Broadcast News.

ah.

Sadly, that was 25 years ago. Time flies.

The culture hasn't changed much in the last fifty years. The fifty years before that, though, mama mia.

Walker's success and union overreach may be opening doors for Romney in Wisconsin.

The poll trends may be closer to those of 2000 and 2004. Those were close GOP wins - and I'll take any sort of win.

obaa is incredibly polarizing, and that should tell on the election. When rummaging through my memory of american history [the natives, please correct me!], the only more polarizing president I can recall was lincoln.

Funny you should mention that. It feels like 1860 all over again.

I was saying the same thing to my slave this morning.

Republicans hold a seven-point lead on the Generic Congressional Ballot for the week ending Sunday, May 12. 

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 45% of Likely U.S. Voters would vote for the Republican in their district’s congressional race if the election were held today, while 38% would choose the Democrat instead. This gap is much larger than it has been for the past three weeks when Republicans led by three but is consistent with the level of support the GOP has been earning since early March.

Mitt Romney has moved out to an eight-point lead over President Obama in North Carolina after the two men were virtually tied a month ago.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in the Tar Heel State shows the putative Republican nominee earning 51% of the vote to Obama’s 43%. Two percent (2%) like some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

That’s a big change from last month when Romney posted a narrow 46% to 44% lead over the president in Rasmussen Reports’ first survey of the race in North Carolina.  Democrats have signaled North Carolina’s importance as a key swing state by deciding to hold their national convention in Charlotte this summer.

I wish Common Tator was around... he had such a wealth of knowledge on stuff like this.

Clearly not. "Slave" was singular.

Forget about New Jersey, New York, California, Massachusetts and Illinois. They are lost forever. Don't even bother paying attention.

Well, Nero isn't at 50% and should the electorate swing, that could pose problems for him, even in NJ. But I admit the chances are very small.

The presence of Christie and a tightening Senate race might just make things interesting.

If Romney wins NJ it will be a 54 state blowout.

That might restore my faith in the American people, but I will believe it when I see it. There are just too many zombies and drones around here.
