Flashback: Gallup had Carter up 4 points over Ronald Reagan in September 1980

• Rasmussen was the most accurate poll in 2008. He samples likely voters, doesn't oversample Democrats or undersample Republicans and Independents.

  • Which is why they hate him so much.

• You don't suppose being shaken down by the DOJ had anything to do with these obviously biased poll numbers do you?

  • Rasmussen too? I dunno

• It is over already. Romney will win. He sagely went out this weekend and affirmed parts of Obama's ACA, taking away the opportunity for the Campaign of Zero to do anything but lie about the challenger's stance.

  Nowhere to run to, Baby; nowhere to hide.

  • They have already walked back those ACA comments

  • So in a way, Ron Paul really won since Romney stole the nomination from him.

    • O God the Paulifarians have landed.
      Tell me something, Mr. Paulifarian. Would President Paul abolish the Air Force or roll it back into the Army Air Corp? I have studied the Constitution quite closely and find no authority therein for anything for an Air Force. Army and Navy, but no Air Force.

      For that matter, I don't think I saw anything about an FBI or CIA either. Should those be disbanded because there is no authority for them? Or perhaps they could be rolled into the Army as well. Come to think of it, any of those big Federal agencies Mr Paul objects to on the grounds of their being un Constitutional could just be rolled into something that is Constitutional. TSA or NSA? Make 'em part of the Post Office!

      • We do need to severely cut back on our overseas military presence at the very least. And like you people have oh so blatantly made obvious about my Census work, we need to downsize on pointless government jobs as you called it.

        • While your job was menial at best, at least the census is constitutional. You still lack any discernible ambition.

        • Or brains.

    • john, please don't miss that, for me, the only thing I like about Romney is that he ain't Obama on the economy. As much as I like him, I just don't believe Congressman Paul to be a viable candidate in today's arena. Perhaps we can win this election, then the next and the next and the next while incrementally pushing the GOP harder toward toward conservatism where we need it and libertarianism where merited.

      But not today. Let's play chess and not checkers.

    • Your lack of reasoning is breathtaking. Go get a job!

      • I had a census job of which you and your like were less then eager to cooperate with me.

        • I am curious how you can possibly justify your work as a tool for the government with your supposed libertarianism. They seem to be at serious odds with each other.

        • Not saying I enjoyed it. It's just work is work; plus it shows Sidekick's irony of telling me to "get a job" while at the same time ridiculing me for the last job I did hold.

        • Tell us Mr Crowley, just how long ago did you have this job, 2 years, 3 years?
          What tHe hell have you done since then besides sitting here and annoying us working folks?
          Go out and get a job, move out of mommy's basement and pay for your own rent, utilities, cable, internet, phone, food, car payment, car insurance, gas, clothes, toiletries, etc. Find a girlfriend and pay for dates. Then after a year of being self supporting, come back and tell us how you are doing. WE DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT HEARING FROM PEOPLE THAT WE ARE SUPPORTING.

        • The last job you held, maybe the ONLY job you held was working for the government you puport to hate. And it was a temporary job! Basically yu got a part time summer gig. That is not a JOB!

        • You know - people would mock you a lot less, and even have sympathy for you having had such a crappy job if you didn't come here and spam all over the place. Even having an opposing view is fine - but spamming "corporate greed" and "Ron Paul was robbed" 20 times a thread is just annoying. Just saying.

• But this time we have no idea how many illegals, convicts, dead people, dogs and cats will vote around the country. Or how many times Mickey Mouse, Superman or even Tony Romo will vote in Vegas!

• When you start looking at the internals of the so called polls, you find more democrats being sampled. Isn't Gallup one of the polling companies that the DoJ is suing? Just saying. Polls don't mean crap right now. It's the ones in the last two weeks that matter most.

  Oh BTW this time in 08 McCain was up over barry and we all saw what a cluster that turned out to be.

  • Yes, the DOI (Dept of Injustice) is suing Gallup.
    Axelgrease threatened them when they started showing Romney leading Obama, and now they are being sued BY THE GOVERNMENT!!!
    Something stinks in DC and Chicago, and it isn't just the dead bodies.

  • NO POLLS MATTER. What matters is who gets their asses in a voting booth and pulls the lever (or touches the screen) for Romney. Period.
