What do you make of these polls that have Gingrich ahead of Obama

[dennis4868]

in Ohio and PA? Even if you hate Obama do they really think that Gingrich is presidential material? Do they not remember that he had to leave the congress in disgrace with 84 ethics violations and the highest fine in the history of congress? Do they not know all the nasty things this man says and how crazy his policies are?

I am really worried for Obama who DEFINITELTY deserves another 4 years. He is everything you want in a President and Gingrich is the opposite.

1. I think polls this far out from the actual poll (the vote) are best taken with a grain of salt.

[dennis4868]

2. you're probably right.

[Armin-A]

20. No one can be certain of the future...

Even if it was showing Obama 90:10 or Obama 10 0

I think we all need to go out and do our part as much as possible. Let's win by a landslide!

3. I really hope he gets the nomination

He is the most easy to defeat out of all of the republican candidates. I am actually sad that his flavor of the month status came this early; he won't win any primaries now. He probably has two weeks left with how hard democrats are hitting him now.

It's unfortunate. We should be supporting Gingrich, because there is a greater chance of the world crashing into the black hole in the center of the universe than him even getting close to the white house.

7. Me too. I want him to lose it pop a gasket on national tv.

but of course to some of his supporters that will be a show of strength and power.

gack.

4. At this point, I don't make too much of them.

GOPers are benefiting from the exposure that is part of the primary process.

Having said that, this is shaping up to be a very tight election. The middle is shrinking and since they are the least educated voters, the side with slickest ads is likely to win.

5. It probably indicates that Gingrich is polling ahead of Obama in Ohio and PA. eom

6. They don't remember anything but what the last few years' propaganda told them.

I don't expect Obama to carry any state with a GOP administration, either.

But the issue is not the regressives who will vote GOP or Tea Party no matter what.

If the Democratic Party was running Jesus, they'd vote against Him, period.

The issue is getting the Democratic vote out and the GOP has done an excellent job since 2000 disenfranchising voters and they have not stopped, in fact they have won most of the battle on this.

8. Michigan has a GOP administration. If Romney is

not their candidate, I expect Obama to win here.

[freshwest]

9. No voter shenanigans there? Read a piece on GD of a meeting in Detroit designed to peel off..

Democratic voters, a staged event to present the typical conservative line. Although I'd expect a backlash against what Synder has done, as well as some props for Obama on the auto industry.

As far as Ohio and Pennsylvania... not so much chance as Wisconsin. Although the little rebellion in Ohio over stripping public workers of their bargaining rights was heartening.

10. It's a statistical result more than a year out. It'll go away -- unlike Newt's past.

I am loving discussing Newt with the local rethugs. I get to bash on Gingrich's "morals" and I get to bash them too. After all, if Newt's many and well documented transgressions are not relevant to his presidency right up front then why did we waste sooooo much time on how that blue dress disgraced the office of the president?

I get to tell them that their choice candidate tells me everything I need to know about their true views on morality. Then I laugh at them. I'm eating lunch with a few less people right now but after years of putting up with their crap this opening was a breath of fresh air.

It won't last though. Just remember, Huckabee was winning at this point last time around. We forget how long the race really is.

16. Good for you. Make people think. Goodness knows the media makes them dumb.

11. NBC/WSJ: Gingrich At 40% With GOP, But Would Be Crushed By Obama 51-40

This is the latest.

[DCBob]

13. +1

If the election were held today it would be a massive landslide victory for the President.

[AtomicKitten]

12. Polling today shows Pres O crushing the Newt.

[DCBob]

14. visual aid..

[AtomicKitten]

15. I have two thoughts on this.

1) Ewwwww.
2) Hell yes.

[DCBob]

19. Sorry, I know its kind of gross but I think it gets the point across.

[jberryhill]

17. I can make a hat, a broach, a pterodactyl...

18. Obama is whooping Newt in all the 'national' polls - see below

21. The really good news is that he beats every republican in almost every poll on that page.

Simple due to random variance, he should lose more.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

22. My response: I can't wait for the debates. Obama will mop the floor with him!

23. the first thing I would ask you is a link to the polls your speaking about to see who the pollster

is and what the methodolgy is.
