It's April 13th, polls like this are meaningless.

I beg to differ. It can help us forecast trends. I expect employment figures to decline, which likely means Obama loses ground from here.

BTW, labor force participation hasn't been as low as it is today since Carter and Reagan. The idea that we are climbing out is a myth.

a poll I would like to see is one that asked independent and traditionally GOP voters who voted for Obama in 2008 if they plan to vote for him again

Hmmm.....you think Romney and Obama would be neck and neck if the economy were doing well? Maybe it hasn't mattered as much as you or I think it should, but it's got to be factoring.

I would assume they would vote GOP, overwhelmingly. Do you think that's a bad assumption?

no, but for people like LG who think Obama is going to walk away with the election, it might give them pause.

Obama won in 2008 only because he was able to win in states that traditionally vote GOP.

it will but the UE numbers won't make a dent as long as the BLS keeps playing with the participation number. I have no doubt Obama will even claim it as a victory

National numbers are meaningless. Five states are going to matter this year: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida. Iowa and New Hampshire are the other swing states. The polling in those states is as follows (from RCP):

Florida: Obama +3.5
North Carolina: No average, but in the last week, PPP has Obama +5 and Rasmussen has Romney +2
Ohio: Obama +8.6
Pennsylvania: Obama +6.0
Virginia: Obama +4.0

Those are eyeopening numbers. The GOP has nobody to blame but themselves.

If economy was fine...obama would be leading easily. We are seeing the results of his admin. right here. Hopefully he understands and spends the last months in office actually fixing stuff instead of f***ing it up even worse and pretending it's better.

Rasmussen and Fox are Romney +2 or so.

All other polls are Obama +4 to +8.

Makes you wonder ...

don't hold your breath, Obama is more concerned with class warfare and exploiting the Trayvon Martin tragedy

Good thing we have the GOP to scheme about how to shake down the poor
Click to expand...

what scheme is that?

there aren't enough millionaires and billionaires to foot the entire bill

what is so wrong with expecting everybody to pay their "fair share" including the poor.

poor people are poor because the rich are holding them down.

it's the rich's fault.

they need to pay their fair share.
