If the election was held today I would vote for...

I know we have come undecided voters on here like LG so feel free to take your time and think about it but please do answer and be honest.

Poll is not public.

 

[Weezer]

Third party. Neither Obama nor Romney should be president. It's a shame we can't find anyone truly deserving of the office. Unfortunately, one of those two clowns will win and the country will continue to lose.

 

[NEO]

Fingers crossed that Romney gets in and opens up more loopholes.

JK

 

[utvolpj]

I'll go with Romney. Obama has had his chance and failed miserably.

The GOP's disdain for its own candidate is truly remarkable this go 'round.

I know you think Volnation is the pulse of America, but a NY Times poll today shows that disdain is gone

Meantime, three and a half months before election day, Republican enthusiasm about voting this year has shot up since Mitt Romney clinched the nomination in April, from 36 percent of Republicans saying they were more enthusiastic in March to 49 percent now.

Poll: VP choice matters to most voters - Political Hotsheet - CBS News

President Obama was helped to election in 2008 by a wave of voter enthusiasm among Democrats, however this year, Democratic enthusiasm is down a bit since March. Twenty-seven percent of Democrats said they were more enthusiastic about voting this year than they were in past elections, compared to 30 percent four months ago. And 48 percent of Democrats say their enthusiasm this year is the same as past elections, compared to 39 percent who answered the same question in March.



Independent voters' enthusiasm is also up with 29 percent saying they're more enthusiastic now from 22 percent four months ago.

Hmm Dem voter enthusiam is down while Independent voter enthusiasm is up. Not a good combo

shockingly, the left hasn't turned on the the clown in office.

Just like with Obama, everything in Bush's first term pointed to a disasterous second term, and the right didn't turn on that clown in office.

Not really surprised. The left will still vote for Obama, the right will still vote for Romney.

The status quo will continue.

From the article about the President's Jobs Council in another thread...

For starters, there’s the discomfort many business leaders may feel in appearing to embrace the president with his reelection bid in full swing.

Then, there’s the fact that some members of the commission have conspicuously declined to endorse him. And that Obama has conspicuously declined to endorse some of their recommendations. And that some of what Obama won’t endorse has been warmly embraced by Republicans, including likely GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

I wouldn't read too much into that until after the conventions. Those numbers tend to fluctuate quite a bit, and the Republican numbers should go up from a point in the middle of primary season to the summer.

The trend is Romneys friend. A VP pick further energizes the base and a crumbling Jobs market further disenfranchises Obama supporters

I'm not saying it doesn't mean anything, but the challenging party will always be more energized at this point, especially after someone wraps up the nomination.
