On the other hand, leading by 46% is still too low in my view, but I'll take it.

(2,529 posts)We voted for Obama by 68% in '08 and were in favor of him by 72% just two months ago. But, people have short memories and Romney's making sure all his press exposure these days is tightly scripted. Let's hope he get closer scrutiny in the coming months.

(24,438 posts)most people won't believe a huge swing unless his immigration policy shifts dramatically along with it- which it won't, of course. The teabaggers will ensure it. I'm personally waiting to see women swing (swoon) to Romney.

That poll was full of shit but the corporate media ran with it. I just saw Mittens on a Spanish station telling the host basically that he is Mexican American. Now, where is Bennett from AZ????

(3,182 posts)that I did in some other threads. Until these pollsters start using likely voters instead of merely registered voters, I won't take their data seriously. I don't care what registered voters think, I want to know what those actually likely to vote think.

(8,200 posts)It is the same when I see a Black person who is a staunch Republican. It just doesn't make any sense to me. It is also is the same for any working class person.

(10,893 posts)see voting for them akin to playing the lotto; they ignore the discriminatory policies, and see their vote as a chance to strike gold one day. And the rich ones just don't want to pay any extra taxes under a Democratic president.
However, they have been mentioning on the news that there has been a record rate of deportations under PBO (even higher than *), so that could be a small thorn in his side.

(276 posts)Just look at the amount of money being spent by the gop on targeting Hispanics. They know full well it will be a waste of money to try and etch a sketch on their primary statements about Hispanics. I will kill the dream act, I want them to self-deport, Hey, I am running for president, all these plus more statements are set in stone and easily relived by looking them up on you tube.
You will see very little money spent. Just can not move the needle, no matter how much money you have.
