3. Couldn't have said it better myself. |
|
For good or bad, these polls are completely and utterly worthless and inaccurate unless the election is months away, which it clearly is not.
The economy could be significantly stronger by then. What about national security? We could have a terrorist attack, or prevent a major one, or capture Osama Bin Laden, or Dick Cheney. Troops will be heading home from Iraq and who knows what will be happening in Afganistan.
The fact that Obama is ahead in these polls with the amount of hate and anger out there, says alot.

7. I agree, too many "ifs" |
|
Lots of things could go in favor or against the administration in the next year and a half. It wouldn't take much for it to trend differently six months from now (again either way).

Every incumbent in modern history was winning a year and one month into his presidency. That it's so close is the shock. Beating a nut like Palin by just 7 points and you're happy?

Clinton was in the 30s by August of 1993.
Reagan's highest approval rating in 1982, his second full year as president, was only 52%.
The fact Obama is doing this well with 10% unemployment pretty much means he's sitting pretty.
You should be concerned for your Republican friends.

Palin is so nutty that she should be losing to anyone by at least 25 points, people are stupid. Republican friends? What are those?

Now try finding polls against potential candidates of past presidents 13 months (February) or so after taking office. The best you threw out was August, 19 months after taking office. I know about Clinton, but I don't think it was this early.

20. I don't quite get your point. |
|
Why don't you actually go try and find a poll from August 1982 asking if Pres. Reagan was vulnerable to Walter Mondale.

9. Huckabee has a Wllie Horton Hidden in his closet |
|
see http://journals.democraticunderground.com/mikekohr/22Romney will have a very hard time getting the nomination of the evangelical dominated Republican party plus he is a venture capitalist the very sort of guy that caused this economic free fall. Palin is a tool and Thune an empty shirt. mike kohr

19. 43% is the base for the Republican Party |
|
When "leaners" are figured in you can bet that the Republican nominee for President, regardless of how incompetant, or unqualified, will automatically get between 42% to 48% of the vote.
The Democrat base vote is always going to be between 48-52%, depending on the candidate.
The true "swing vote" is between 4% and 10%.

16. Romney's the closest? |
|
There's a debate I'd like to see... wouldn't be nearly as funny as Obama vs. Palin, but personality wise, it would be funny watching Romney trying to seem like an everyman.
