The Republicans will try to exploit it for several weeks going into the first debate.

Blue Yorker, what is it about bad polls that appeal to you so much??? n/t progressivebydesign Sep 2012 #11

Progressive, I already debunked your claim about me and bad polls Blue Yorker Sep 2012 #13

Polls will be a bit up and a bit down. Don't obsess on the frigging polls. Just CAMPAIGN for Dems. RBInMaine Sep 2012 #22

That wouldn't be unprecedented Blue Yorker Sep 2012 #20

I think it's going to end up as Obama 277, Romney 261 begin_within Sep 2012 #16

That's too close for my liking. TroyD Sep 2012 #17

Hell, I think Obama has an excellent shot in hitting 350 Panasonic Sep 2012 #28

I do not think 350 is reachable, let alone 400. longship Sep 2012 #34

I agree, the people who say Obama is going to get 350 to 400 are not looking at the facts davidpdx Sep 2012 #41

Yes. Which red states could Obama turn? longship Sep 2012 #42

The 332 figure accounts for the shift in electoral votes from the 2010 US Census davidpdx Sep 2012 #43

I agree about NC due to the academic triangle. longship Sep 2012 #44

That sounds good to me cheezmaka Sep 2012 #30

President Obama will win by 4% Nationally and take 332 to 348 Electoral Votes mikekohr Sep 2012 #45

That's what I'm really looking forward to cheezmaka Sep 2012 #47

Don't handwring over the Mideast. Obama gets very high foreign policy marks. The anti-Muslim video RBInMaine Sep 2012 #24

That's what Fareed Zakaria said on CNN last night, too TroyD Sep 2012 #26

Why would you expect a convention bump to last?? It never does. DCBob Sep 2012 #19

A good chunk of it will last, but not all. Don't fret polls. Just DONATE and CAMPAIGN. RBInMaine Sep 2012 #23

Don't obsess on polls which fluctuate a bit. Obama's in good position overall. GET OUT AND CAMPAIGN! RBInMaine Sep 2012 #25

Polls Move Around Doctor Jack Sep 2012 #27

Bumps go down on their own. It's not a big problem so far. jmowreader Sep 2012 #29

He has one--uses it to find his sanity jmowreader Sep 2012 #49

The "real" bump cheezmaka Sep 2012 #31

Yes I think that is where it will be. People need to understand Romney and company want to southernyankeebelle Sep 2012 #32

I agree cheezmaka Sep 2012 #36

The more R & R talk the more they really do sound out of touch. Just with the Middle East southernyankeebelle Sep 2012 #38

That scares me to death TOO cheezmaka Sep 2012 #46

I pray everyday. southernyankeebelle Sep 2012 #48
