Assoc Press "poll" finds Obama ahead by 1% - after asking 41% more Dems than Republicans

[Little-Acorn]

It's actually pretty amazing that they have to ask so MANY more Democrats than Republicans, just to eke out a 1% advantage in responses.

What does that say about the actual result of the Nov. 6 election... if FEWER than 41% more Dems than Republicans, actually show up? Like, what if equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans show up to vote on Nov. 6?

What this "poll" tells me, is that the actual election will be a blowout victory for Romney.

Does anyone actually think that 41% more Democrats than Republicans, will actually show up to vote on Nov. 6?

Where did you find the breakdown? They did show this question;

Do you consider yourself a Democrat, a Republican, an independent, or none of these?

Democrat
31

Independent
29

Republican
22

None of these
17

Don’t know [VOL]
1

Refused [VOL]

So funny that you would think that "so many more" Democrats were polled, when out of the numbers of people polled, 31 declared themselves as Democrats, 22 as Republicans, and the others were Independents or "don't know!"

Could it be that the Independents lean Obama instead of Romney!

Illusions are hard to die. . .but your favorite candidate is sure helping Obama's supporters to feel good and committed to vote on November 6!

See you on November 7!

given the dismal reality Obama has given America, I guess it's only lack of disposable income due to declining incomes that prevents a bonanza in the booze biz.
