Dueling Poll Numbers On Obama vs GOP

rew · Feb 27, 2012

Quote from tradingjournals:

The only guy from GOP is higher than Obama in the above list is Paul, yet GOP is so far someone else than Paul, and one knows who called Paul far "off the mainstream" and sat him out of the debate.

You failed reading comprehension. Both Romney and Paul lead Obama by 2 points. I'm for Paul, but let's be objective about this. It is amusing that the MSM always treats both Gingrich and Santorum as more electable than Paul.

Is this the 'dueling poll?'

Doesn't seem to be any really good numbers for Obama, am I missing something? Not real bad either, but certainly not good for the President.

Sort of. Notice Rasmussen, Gallup and Quinnipiac polls seem to find a different result than those from left leaning orgs. Same in the updated Obama vs Romney results below.

They were taken during different time frames. In other words, it all depends on what was dominating the news that week.

Polls don't change that much in a week or 10 days without major news. It's more a result of the polling organization in this example IMO.

Can we not agree that 'our' pollsters are good, while 'their' pollsters are bad? With a smile of course. The MSM are controlled by the left, and the other pollsters are 'right.' Margin of error shows, in my mind, that it's pretty close. As I've said before, either place the bet or wait for November.

My 'bet' right now is Obama by a slim margin. An easy bet, but also not something to bet the farm, or my properties, on.

How did the idiot Santorum vault from his solid 1% to 20% in just a few weeks? Not sure what news broke that made that nonsense happen.

Well, as you know, there are the "Right" pollsters and there are the wrong pollsters.

But, I wouldn't even bet YOUR car on the outcome of a Presidential election.

I think it's heroic the lengths you'll go to keep your dream alive. Enjoy your fantasy while it lasts. November 6 is not that far off.
