[Lief 🗽]

The 10% of Americans who think Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme but still support its continued existence are the true heroes.

[Tender Branson]

It looks like Perry has peaked and is now going downhill ...

[The_Texas_Libertarian]

It's nice to see John McCain in this one

It is also nice to see Obama over-performing against most Republicans.  It does look like Romney has the best chance

When you sample a massive excess of Democrats you get a Democrat winning. Who knew?

The Republican sample is also high.

When krazen doesn't understand polls,  he criticizes them? Who knew.

Do you think many seniors fit into this interesting group?

You think krazey is the guy Upton Sinclair was talking about back in the day?

[Stranger in a strange land]

The 10% of Americans who think Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme but still support its continued existence are the true heroes.

Do you think many seniors fit into this interesting group?

Yes: most seniors in this category are senile and are losing command of their thought processes, or continue to receive social security payments while believing it to be a ponzi scheme. A smaller (but still significant) percentage don't know what "ponzi scheme" means.

34% Republican is right in line with the last couple elections.

[You kip if you want to...]

I love the GOP.

34% Republican is right in line with the last couple elections.

2008 was 39% Democrat, 32% Republican, 29% Independent
This poll is 41% Democrat, 34% Republican, 25% Independent.

What the hell are you bitching about, again?

Obama winning.

[King]

Why the Republican Party will not win in 2012 if they continue to pander to Teabaggers:

Vote Among Independents:
2004 Exit Polls: Kerry 49%, Bush 48%

2008 Exit Polls: Obama 52%, McCain 44%

Obama 50%, Bachmann 33%

Obama 53%, Gingrich 33%

Obama 48%, Perry 38%

Romney 44%, Obama 42%

Favorability Among Moderates:
Bush 45%
McCain 41%
Romney 30%
Bachmann 19%
Perry 19%
Gingrich 14%


Their ideological purity movement is cute, but they've lost America in the process.  You can't win with these numbers.  Romney has a chance, but Romney isn't going to win the nomination I'm afraid.

This might drag the GOP congress races, too.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

John McCain?  Is PPP just being cute, or something?

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

McCain did better in this poll than he did in 2008, a 5 point loss to a 7 point loss.

John McCain?  Is PPP just being cute, or something?

It is good for a comparison to see whether the polling sample is close to what voted in 2008. 

PPP will soon show statewide results for Missouri from the first weekend following the GOP and Tea Party debates. Missouri is decidedly to the right of the USA as a whole, and gave John McCain his barest margin of victory.  That state could show some interesting phenomena.

Very amusing, really, an absurd, to take 2008 as your baseline.

Gallup has an accurate picture of historical party identification, and its not D+7.

If you want to take issue with this, then criticise the under-sampling of independents.

Yeah, they probably do have the Democrats too high, but then again so are the Republicans. The independents are the losers in this poll. Many more will turn out on election day. Those are the people your nominee has to win, not the people who are already in their corner. This poll has very bad news for all candidates except for Romney. Even if we adjust things a bit, Romney is losing by 1 or 2 points, and Perry is still getting his ass handed to him.

The fact that they show more Republicans than Democrats in 1991 leads me to dismiss their poll out of hand.

Party identification is not the same as what a person is registered as on election day.
