Our data is primarily drawn from online surveys using sampling methods developed in consultation with several outside experts. These involve recruiting respondents from the entire Internet in addition to millions of individuals pre-screened by Ipsos. The responses are then weighted based on demographic information and refined using a monthly telephone poll.
Ipsos Research Director Chris Jackson said his company is convinced of the merits and accuracy of online polling, especially after Ipsos was able to refine the techniques over several months during the contested Republican primaries.

the entire Internet... not registered or even likely voters.
pre-screend in what way?
of course he is, he wants to sell his service.

Not really all that confusing. The last six months, during the Republican primary, the public has been treated to nothing but negative press about Obama. Reporters rush to quote one idiotic phrase after another uttered by Republican candidates. Many people still believe reporters are credible.

But looking at Romney's true record and comparing Republican rhetoric to reality, Obama has a good chance of winning.

Yeah, because as we ALL know...Mitt Romney has the Main Stream Media in his back pocket! You really are the board buffoon, Deanie. For the last six months the media have been gleefully reporting on Republicans bashing each other while generally giving Barry a pass as he sits on his bony ass in the Oval Office...doing nothing... pointing fingers at the GOP as the "problem".

Every time that the Democrats throw out yet another diversionary "crisis"...the war on women...Trayvon and racial profiling...voter disenfranchisement...student loans...the Media dutifully rush to report on it. In the meantime the country's economy continues to wallow at 2% or less and millions of Americans remain unemployed for longer periods than any time since the Great Depression while Barack Obama wastes time with the "Buffett Rule"...something that would generate enough money to run the country for a few DAYS while it stifles investment.

You want to compare someone's rhetoric to reality? Compare what Barack Obama SAID he would do as a candidate and what he has done since taking office. It's laughable.

Are you saying "...the war on women...Trayvon and racial profiling...voter disenfranchisement...student loans..." are not economic issues -pewsh!- A case can be easily made that all those things are economic issues, but the most obvious "the war on women" and "student loans" are so obvious that only an idiot would claim otherwise.


Rightwingers are quick to point out that Faux News is the highest rated cable channel, are you now saying Mitt Romney doesn't have Faux News wind at his back, or are you saying Faux News ain't really news? But speaking of the media, I do find what former GW Bush speech writer David Frum and Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein resident scholar at the uber-conservative think tank, American Enterprise Institute (AEI) have to say about today's Republican Party --- even lifelong Republicans don't like Republicans any more.

Let me see if I can put this in an easily understandable way...

Saying that student loans and the so called war on women are important economic issues is like a patient on the operating table facing open heart surgery being told that what he REALLY needs to worry about is that nasty ingrown toenail on his right foot.

We've got an economy growing at less than 2% four YEARS after this recession started...we've got 13 million people on unemployment, many of them for the longest period of time since the Great Depression and we've got a deficit that's growing in leaps and bounds with no end in sight. Those are important economic issues. So why AREN'T we concentrating on those things instead of this other silly shit? Oh, that's right...because what's "important" this year is getting Barry reelected. Forget that he has no plans to fix things and is running AWAY from his record rather than on it.

Interesting there is no distinction between Non-Combat Vets and Combat Vets. This is in no way a dig at those who served with honor outside a Combat Zone.
It is simply a fact that the two experiences are different.
This USMC Vietnam Combat Vet didn't vote last time for Obama and certainly not this time!

I never thought that I would ever see a Socialist as a President of the USA.

Huh, do think being a combat veteran affords you a special American status beyond your earned GI benefits? If you're not taking a dig at Americans that haven't served in combat, why did you bring it up? -pewsh!-


Obama a socialist? Are you kidding me?---Ha! you dinky dau GI.


In this country socialism is bipartisan. If you're to big to fail, we socialize losses and capitalize profits. On the other side of the equation, rightwingers call earned benefits like Social Security, Medicare, Veterans Benefits... entitlements --- WTF?


Are veterans in favor of letting the American children they would die for in a foreign land starve, or would anti-socialist veterans like yourself rather socialize a school nutrition program, or would an anti-socialist veteran like yourself rather -give- tax breaks to "job creators", while fantasizing that the so called job creators will create a job out of thin air. As an anti-socialist combat veteran do you believe the American military is funded and operated as a socialist organization and-----and as in unions does seniority in the military matter? why?


Reagan increased payroll taxes to fund Social Security, read My Lips Bush raised taxes to fund discretionary spending, Bush the Bailoutter socialized the financial industry's losses. And you're calling Obama a socialist, how so dinky dau?


Howzit a rough tough combat vet like yourself, as a senior, becomes askeered of a word?-----did you suffer multiple concussions while in country?

That's a surprising poll - but maybe I shouldn't be that surprised

 

[starcraftzzz]

Veterens probably support Obama because he does not send them to die in useless wars like Iraq, and because he supports providing them with health care and military equipment and because his policy of providing tax cuts for veteran jobs has caused the unemployment rate of veteresn to go from 15% to 7%
