The crosstabs seem off; Romney is getting 70% of blacks and LEADING with Native Americans.

Yeah, that is BS.

It is B.S., and everyone knows it, even people who won't say it.

Something else weird about this poll. It's a 4-day poll, and Obama leads handily on 3 of those days. The exception is Friday, when he lost handily. Why Friday?

How do American Indians vote, usually?

Very heavily Democratic.

It's certainly not the floor. Mondale and Dukakis performed worse than that with whites.

Obama isn't Mondale or Dukakis.

As if "the white community" thinks the Republicans are so great.

The GOP's dictatorial demeanor has alienated Americans of every color.

Better said that Mondale and Dukakis were fortunate to not be Barack Obama. Alternatively, of course, you could look at the 2010 elections which showed unprecedented white flight from the Democratic party.

Have you ever been to Dayton, Kentucky?

Obama is swimming upstream, against the current; it's only swept him back just a little at this point but he can't keep doing it forever.

Agreed. No matter how much Obama may stand to gain from some of these attacks, there will always be job report on the first Friday of every month to knock him back down. And all indications are that those reports will not be looking good from now until election day. http://money.cnn.com/2012/07/19/news/economy/obama-election/index.htm

I don't think anyone except the media even cares about the monthly reports, quite frankly.

That may be the case for Obama-bots. But those voters without their heads up a particular candidates ass are paying attention to the economy, and concerned about it.

People care what happens to themselves. People who lost their job in 2001 aren't going to suddenly flip to the GOP now.

People care about the economy affecting them personally. I think people stopped caring about statistics when they realized the media was using statistics to lie.
