Rasmussen presidential poll
« on: May 13, 2012, 12:51:52 AM »
 Most polls show Romney presently leading Obama by a couple points.  It's early, but that is still not a good indicator for the great pretender.
   Rasmussen has a wider spread;

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney earning 50% of the vote and President Obama attracting 42% support. Four percent (4%) would vote for a third party candidate, while another three percent (3%) are undecided
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
    Why is Rasmussen at a wider spread than the rest?  Pretty simple really, while others count "registered voters", Rasmussen counts only "likely voters".  There can be 1,000 voters registered, but if only 800 of them are motivated enough to go out and vote, that 800 are the only ones worth counting..it works every time.
  Incidently, it appears Obama's endorsement of a perversion of marriage gained him big money with the Hollywood crowd, but lost him a big vote body amog the rest of us.
If you don't want the truth, don't ask me.  If you want something sugar coated...go eat a donut !  (anon)

maybe the people who throw away their vote will turn out to be irrelevant. here's hoping....
