In response to:
The final CNN national poll was released today: Romney & Obama are in a tie.
However, please read the fine demographic print: voter ID = D+11%
I don't believe you could get that impausible a sample at a lawn party put on by Debbie "Angry Perm" W-S!
Fundamentals usually prevail in American elections. That's bad news for Barack Obama. True, Americans want to think well of their presidents, and many think it would be bad if Americans were perceived as rejecting the first black president.
But it's also true that most voters oppose Obama's major policies and consider unsatisfactory the very sluggish economic recovery -- Friday's job report showed an unemployment uptick.
Also, both national and target state polls show that independents -- voters who don't identify themselves as Democrats or Republicans -- break for Romney.
That might not matter if Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 39 to 32...
Agreed. I've yet to hear a plausible explanation for a sampling profile that reflects a substantially MORE dem population than voted in 2008. Really? Were the pollsters somehow incommunicado during the 2010 cycle, when an epic, multi-generational beatdown was administered to this hard-left administration?
Unlike Slick Willie, (who is a reprehensible human being devoid of character and principles) who was sufficiently astute to tack rightward when administered his epic midterm beat-down, Obozo simply doubled down. In his arrogance and narcissism, he's unable to acknowledge what we'll all see plainly tomorrow: America is a center-right nation. His brand of hard-left socialism is the antithesis of this country's traditions.
