Bloomberg Poll Shows Obama With Big Lead

Poll was conducted among 800,000 illegal aliens.

Bloomberg is serious and reliable. Ignore it at your own peril.

What’s more, 49% said the president has laid out a better vision for a successful economic future, with only 33% preferring Mr. Romney’s plan.

That 33% has no discernment or critical faculties.

Someone needs to put together a timeline of WSJ articles on Europe. The WSJ coverage of Europe has been disgusting.

Where was the supposed “national poll” ? How many people were polled ? what were their economic status ? what were their education status ? what were their ethnic backgrounds? were they US citizens ? what were their political affiliations ? If one is to do a poll do it right or don’t do it at all. I’m sure we all remember from college days the book “How to Lie with statistics”.

I am a dirty dirty street tramp

President Obama has much better standing in the minds of the likely voters as a Serious Leader trying to do the best for the country than the King of Bain.

But still, jobless rate near 8.2% is the Achilles’ heel of the President. In the coming months, it should slowly trend down.

If the trend is higher employment, as it did in 1984, Obama could win with 40 States instead of 28 States in 2008.

Fixing the Eurozone is very important now. US Treasury should lend some money to the Greeks and Spain to tide over the crisis at low interest (2%) rate, since we can borrow for 10 Yr T at 1.7% from the creditors.

Wait & watch.

Is the worst candidate ever. He cannot elaborate any position on anything without a major gaffe. Conservatives went full retard and painted themselves into the corner once again. But that was expected, welcome to reality.

WSJ-Bloomberg-MSNBC- Doing their part to destroy our country, and get obama re-elected. Thank God we don’t have to depend on these dem-mouth pieces for all our news anymore.

I guess most Americans don’t buy the fear-mongering of right-wing media, reject the scorched-earth tactics of Congressional Republicans, and are put off by the wavering, pandering blandness of Mitt Romney.

Good for them.

You’re telling me that, while every other polling organization puts the race within 3-4 percentage points, Bloomberg found a more accurate survery pool.
Frankly, the desparation reflected in this comment board already shows how much this poll is an outlier. If the OWS unemployment ranks that sit on these pages are trying to “close the election” after one positive report, even they know that Obama’s in serious trouble and only has hope left to change his future unemployment prospects.

I told you so. Obama 2012!

Rasmussen has Romney with about a 4 point lead. Gallup is closer, but Romney is up a point. That poll will be updated in 45 min. I suspect the poll under discussion had some severe methodological flaws.

Rasmussen and Bloomberg are showing drastically different results in polling. I agree with “Pennsylvania Farmer” in that there are clearly some methodological flaws in one or the other. A discussion of how the two polls were conducted will likely appear in the next few days.

Donkey POWER! Heeeee Haaaaw!

Bloomberg has had credibility problems in the past, and as you said, it is at odds with the majority of other polls. I would take this one with a grain of salt.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows the race for the White House is tied with Barack Obama and John McCain each attracting 44% of the vote. However, when “leaners” are included, it’s McCain 47% and Obama 46%.

From this point forward all liberal bloggers must also post one of the following:

1. Their NEA/AFT membership number
2. Their SEIU membership number
3. The last four digits on their Linkcard
4. Their Screen Actors Guild membership number
5. The date they entered the country illegally
6. Their subscription renewal date for Advocate
7. The name of their parole officer
8. Section 8 apartment number

Bloomberg should stick with financial data, clearly this poll is an outlier…..ridiculous

Obama and Romney are backed by 47 percent of likely general election voters, while the president outruns the other Republican candidates, a Bloomberg National Poll conducted March 8-11 shows. While Obama’s job approval has improved among independents, whose votes will swing the election in November, 49 percent support Romney and 41 percent Obama in the survey.
Still, with less than eight months until Election Day, Obama has improved his standing on the economy, has a majority of Americans viewing him favorably and has begun to rekindle the enthusiasm of his 2008 supporters. Forty-eight percent of the public approves of the job the president is doing, up from a September low of 45 percent. Among independents, his approval rating stands at 45 percent, a 6-point jump from September.
“Where I am now is a lot better than I was three years ago,” said Andrew Atkins, a 28-year-old television producer from Spring Lake, Michigan, who relocated from Orlando last year after he was laid off from his previous job. “We’re really starting to move our family forward, where in 2008 we were sort of at a wall.”

1232, I guarantee you my family’s been in the US longer than yours; and I bet I make more money than you. Your facile and dumb post shows how out of touch you and your type are with real Americans and not just Fox-watching zombies.

The Bloomberg Poll is good but is too good to be true.

Too early.

Organize, get out the vote for Obama and strong democratic majorities in the House and the Senate.

Romney comes off as out of touch and the more he tells his story of his struggle up from opulence on a start of just a few million dollars a year the more ridiculous he sounds. Also, all of the money that is debt did not evaporate or go to all Americans, it went onto the pile of loot of those that have gotten richer and richer and Romney is one of them.

The man does not have a clue.

Cantservatives already wear their low IQs on their sleeves. Nothing additional required.

Only 2 things come from Texas, boy, and I don’t see any horns on you!

Good post, 1:11. Don’t expect kudos from the zombie right, but it’s hard not to conclude that Mitt’s wealth leaves him completely alienated from the overwhelming majority of the nation he is pandering so desperately to lead. It’s unclear how he would speak for people he doesn’t understand or sympathize with – can’t even talk to!

Dear God i hope this is incorrect, why the hell would anyone want 4 more years of a president who blatantly abuses his powers and has done nothing to bring the nation further along. People need to stop looking at what he promised to do and what he actually did, which happens to be very little. Aside from not fulfilling a single campaign promise he now has the audacity to find a loophole around immigration reform that he put into effect just days before meeting with one of the largest Latino organizations in America ( purely coincidence im sure) and just today he again abuses his power as he uses his “executive powers” to help Holder avoid the matter at hand. I find it interesting that Obama says he had nothing to do with the fast and furious act, holder said he had nothing to do with it and now that they are getting grilled on it because so many people are dead Obama decides to step in the cover the tracks. Honestly i don’t understand how anyone can believe this man has done anything good since he has been in office and with reports like this showing just how much of a dirtball he is hopefully the general populous will turn on him come Nov and get him out asap

A cursory examination of the methodology and raw sample data is a laugh a minute. The generic Republican/Democrat voting is skewed from every other recent poll. They assume LV turnout among 18-25 year olds will be at better than 2008 levels. They are polling a group where 2/3′s of the sample doesn’t have a child under 18 at home.

The poll is a joke, even in as inexact a science as polling.

http://media.bloomberg.com/bb/avfile/rQyA68BW5P20

How can anyone be more out of touch with common man that someone who flies air force one, is surrounded by security guards, lives in white house and says economy is fine. Romney should do a better job of getting this point across.

134 dooshbag, Cheney et al used/abused executive powers constantly, which someone of your excellent intelligence must know. As with most low-level neocon posters, you pack your post with accusations but no detail. Name all his campaign promises and what he hasn’t done. (We’re out of Iraq, where we never should have been). Bush went around Congress whenever he felt like it; where were you then? Do you even know what Fast & Furious was? Bet not. And who’s dead? Get some factual information from non right-wing sources before you post again.

Bloomberg’s leanings would make his tally quite suspicious, especially when flying in the face of reason and data.

The Bloomberg poll over-samples DEM’s by 7 pts. Polls more IND than REP. Like Ruth Marcus (WaPo) said, “It’s not 2008″ This poll is definitely flawed

“Dear God i hope this is incorrect, why the hell would anyone want 4 more years of a president who blatantly abuses his powers and has done nothing to bring the nation further along. ”

People said the same exact thing when it was Bush vs Kerry. Yet the incumbent won, because it’s very hard to take them down. Unless you have a very strong popular candidate like Reagan or even a Bill Clinton who don’t come off as elitists to the American public like Kerry and now Romney.

Bloomberg polls vary widely and that’s the hallmark of poor polling. This is fundamentally meaningless but it is good in an inverted way. Liberals hop on very unreliable (and often totally false) information and so if they believe this poll it might be a good thing. Rasmusson is the most consistent and accurate.

Pew is also very accurate, and continues to have Obama on top by a decent margin.

GM is alive and kicking, and Bin Laden is dead as a doornail. ‘Nuff said. Obama 2012!

LOL, got to love the Obama media, Blloomberg is a great cheerleader!

Too bad this polll doesnt even come close to the dozen of other Polls.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html

So you make more than me? Post it along with your job title (and government agency if appropriate).

Comrade, you pray to your god (government) that Obama wins, and a fearful that he won’t. By the way the poll you libs are rejoicing is not within the margin of error for the rest of the published polls.

Go pound sand.

This poll is horse crap. Bloomberg released this to skew the national RCP tracking polls which show Romney moving ahead. RCP polls average out the results of all polls and wild outliers like this one succeed (unfortunately) in skewing the average to make it appear Obama has somehow surged.
Go on believing that all you Obamanauts.

No one is saying Obama has surged. But Romney is the one that needs to surge and he hasn’t the last 2 or 3 months. Doesn’t seem like he is capturing the hearts and minds of populist America which you need to do to beat even a weak Incumbent.

Mr. Obama is some where between 47 and 53 percent of supporting votes and Mr. Romney is between 40 and 43 percent of supporting votes; that sounds accurate to me. With the Oylmpic games starting mid/late July that means the real political scene won’t start until about mid-August. The only hope Romney has is for the US economy to crash like in 2007/2008. I would like to know what kind of economic influences Romney and his friends are doing with billions of dollars.

I am a republican registered voter and I do not like Romney nor do I trust him.

I do not like or trust Obama. But I worship him.

It amazes me the way the Republicans thought they could beat an elitist President is with another elitist candidate. Democrats and Republicans have both failed to find strong enough candidates to take down the last 2 weak ncumbents.

The credibility of this poll is a joke. Did they poll only registered Democrats? It isn’t even close to the other top 10 polling results which show a VERY tight race.

Can we be any more obvious? or should I say Oblivious?

It is going to be a close race. And if Obama wins then we will get our “just deserts” as we join Europe on the trash heap of history.

I am amazed and at once saddened to see so many people- americans, going at each others throats like this. I doubt any of you know the president. You could die tomorrow and he wouldn’t even notice. Same goes for Romney. These guys are rock stars, Idols for their respective supporters, placed so high on their pedestals that they don’t know or care to know any of you.

The contact any of you are having with one another as you write on these boards now is greater than the contact 99.9% of you will ever make with the president or Romney, yet here you are, lambasting each other, resorting to name calling, lying and attacking one another, mischaracterizing each other’s views. Its sickening. Utterly horrific. No wonder presidential candidates don’t need to be “mean” to each other anymore. There’s so much acrimony and hate being spewn among their supporters that they don’t need to.

You will seek to destroy those with whom you exchange comments in order to defend people you don’t even know, nor will ever know. How can you be so out-of touch with reality? Cultivate relationships with one another, find common ground, learn from one another. Leave these rock stars to do whatever they will do. You won’t change anything. The only thing you’re accomplishing here is inciting people to anger and stroking your own pride.

Time is running for Pr. Obama: support, money, US economy…I have NO doubt that Pr. Obama will be re-elected in 2012 ( but is NOT done until Obama is officially re-elected)! I do believe that Mr. Romney can get maximum 40-45% votes in November election! I did NOT agree with everything what President did during last 3,5 years, but HE has the best vision how to win the future for USA. President is honest person who is doing his best to move this country forward in right direction. My support to Pr. Obama re-election is my investment: what kind of future I want for this Country… He has much more to say and accomplish, during next 4,5 years as a President! My the biggest concerns right now are: unemployment, dysfunctional Congress , US economy and houses market depression…

How is it that we could afford decent healthcare, government services, infrastructure, public education, and have higher growth rates (3.7% GDP) in the years of socialism (50-80, otherwise known as the golden age of capitalism), yet since Reagan implemented the conservative dream, and since regulations have been systematically killed over years, and since pro business trickle down Econ (80-present) we can’t afford any of it? Growth is down (3.0 GDP 80-present) an the middle class has piled on debt just to maintain.

How is that possible?

Because, conservative ideology is a zombie economic policy, and you fools keep it up and walking with nothing more than religious type faith. Pathetic.

If you want to join Europe, vote Romney. He will deepen our austerity to their level, and we can join them in recession.

Is Obama acting like a guy with a lead nearly twice the size that Bill Clinton had over Bob Dole? A 13 point lead roughly means on teh state level that Obama is leading Romney in GA by 2-3 points. Do you believe that?

I never thought of it like that. I suppose the same could have been said about King George and our Founding Fathers. Or maybe Lincoln and Jefferson Davis.

Personally, I love my country. my family, and my God. And I will argue to defend them against people who I believe have nothing but contempt for the things I believe in.

I agree the level of division is very high right now. The blame lies at the feet of Obama our Divider in Chief. Class warfare is what he is about. It is the Chicago way.

And I don’t believe in god and I don’t want your personal magical beliefs infringe on my freedoms. You are welcome.

I am amazed that the Wire published this. Not even the die hard Democrat PPP poll found these numbers. I guess now all we will hear from the Wire will be the Bloomberg poll since they give better numbers to BO then any other survey firm. All of the rest of the world is wrong and Bloomberg is correct. Yeah right….this is too stupid to believe.

You make my point beautifully. I care not whether you believe in my god or not. You and the government you want don’t have the right confiscate my property to finance activities that violate my beliefs.

Again, this is the twisted logic of liberalism.

Have you ever posted anything on this blog that even resembled the truth?

Know nothings trying to explain away with some bs the overwhelming reality that Romney is a garbage candidate and the queasiness inside their gut.

Hey rebublicones you know you have a loser as a candidate.

Lo sers losers loo sirs LOSERS

YES

LOSERS!!

Isn’t it possible that poll is not an outlier, but reflects the very new reality of the President’s just-announced position on deporting immigrants who were brought to this country as children by their parents?

I like the new bold President Obama who is going to solve our nation’s problems without Boehner who obstructs everything he attempt to do for our country. I have no problem believing I’m not alone. It isn’t just Hispanics who approve of Obama’s recent directive.

It is hard to believe anyone is undecided at this point, but folks who are, change their opinion from day to day based on events. Consider what’s happened recently.

1. President Obama makes a courageous and popular declaration regarding deporting of certain immigrants
2. Romney’s wife gets sued by a hapless buyer of her lame dressage horse
3. Romney bores the world with his phony attempt to connect with small town America on a bus tour
4. Dressage horse gets sent to Oympics

etc.

I don’t see any reason for Romney to have climbed in the polls in recent days, but Obama’s move on immigration surely gave him a bump.

Rasmussen nearly always is a bit of an outlier on the Republican side.

Mitt’s bus tour failed to help him connect with the American people. They just don’t believe him.

I hope the Obama team believes this poll.

“If you want to join Europe, vote Romney.”

Put down the bong, becoming Europe is Obama’s goal.

In the interest of unity and bipartisan cooperation, it is now time that we bury the hatchet and all Americans unite behind the President of the United States. God bless President Obama, and God bless the United States of America!

The economy is growing, despite the worst attempts at sabotage by the likes of Romney. Despite the best attempts by House Republicans and the most intransigent do-nothing Congress in modern American history, our economy is moving forward once again and on its way to making up for the Bush recession that very nearly destroyed this country. Republicans are flummoxed because they bet on a bad economy, and they have tried everything in their power to make it happen. The GOP is against America and against Americans. No wonder the polls are nothing but bad news for Romney and the GOP gang. http://www.sunstateactivist.org

Pick your polling group and pick your outcome. Then pick your nose.

Who in their right mind would want to spend a leg of a flight planted next to the biggest whiner in American history? I’m sure the polling question was prefaced with, “Provided you had access to headphones…” Famously, Hunter Thompson once found common with Nixon in talking football during an hour-long limo ride to the airport, and said he was amazed at how well they connected on the subject. I doubt anyone without a union background or using a welfare check stub for a bookmark would likewise find anything interesting interesting to chat about. And moreover, how is asking whether you’d rather sit next to the candidate or the incumbent a relevant polling question? It’s like asking if you’d rather talk basketball with Ken Griffey, Jr. or LeBron James. The incumbent is on a plane most of the time these days, moving from one fundraiser to the next at a net cost to the taxpayer of $179,000/hour, leaving behind his duties as commander-in-chief like an unwanted piece of luggage at the baggage claim. If anyone knows how to fly in style, it’s the Prez, and guaranteed he wouldn’t like having those who answered in his favor along for the ride.

Like most Americans, I don’t have the extra money to fly as often as I’d like to. Bus-bound Mr. Romney can come over for a beer any time, just don’t tell the incumbent — he’d probably show up looking for freebies, bringing nothing to the table but boring, regurgitated talking points from his pals over at Media Matters and Change.org.

It is? How come you’re the only one to know?

The only reason we’re in this devil of a partisan morass is because Mr. Obama refuses to listen to the half of the country that Doesn’t agree with him. I hope against hope that was sarcasm in your comment. God bless the USA, indeed — just please don’t ever put Mr. Obama’s name in the same sentence again.

Unless other polls in the next couple weeks show similar numbers, this is probably an outlier, especially given the wide disparity between it’s results and results from Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls.

The poll also has sampling issues in my opinion. Only 16 percent of those polled were 65+ years of age, and that age group is generally the most reliable voting bloc turnout-wise in elections. It also overpolled self-described Democrats over Republicans by 5%. Minority voters also made up a whopping 29% of the survey pool, which is likely much higher than the non-white percentage of the electorate that actually will vote in Nov. For comparison’s sake, minority turnout was 26% in 2008, which was a high watermark year.

Mitt is traveling by private jet on his “Dispel the Notion that I’m a Wildly Out of Touch Son of Wealth and Privilege” bus tour, meeting up with the bus at various events.

I’d rather vote for the bus than Romney.

One of his horses made it to the Olympics!

Read the Constitution. Taxation is enshrined in articles, as well as general welfare. Also, why your magical prayer institutions are not paying tax? Can I start praying imaginary things and not pay taxes? Isn’t it just great?

That most certainly was NOT sarcasm! I am most sincere when I say, “God bless the United States of America”. That is not me imposing my religious beliefs on you. I feel that the right to religious freedom extends to Godless heathens such as yourself, as well. It is your God given right as an American to be an aetheist if you so choose. Now get out there and support the President. Please vote for President Obama in November. And God bless you.

At least no one in their right mind would ask a horse anything.

How much I hate the slobbering lefts and its inflammatory language. Oh God it is so disgusting to see you all feigning critical thinking and superior intelligence all the while making rational debate impossible by outright discrediting those you disagree with. Every time I read one of your comments I hear your sniveling voice raised to a halting pitch calling me ‘an idiot’ and a ‘ zombie’ all the while justifying the actions of this political clown pulling cheap tricks out of his hat to dazzle you into believing he actually has principles. Buying the votes of the unthinking masses with taxpayer money. Creating ineffective government programs to solve unsolvable social ills. And to think I voted for him. But I am not one with the left and its hive-mind, so I can question the actions of the “God Emperor” Obama who alone can bear the mantle of the middle class, and can deliver us from poverty . Im sorry I have to sound so one-dimensional but its you leftists who are the real caricatures, if your unwilling to regard me as anything more than a “redneck hick zombie etc” because I disagree with you… you prove that you are an unthinking parody of yourselves. I think you all just like to hear yourselves playback your arguments from the Bush era so you can remember a time when you could just insult the other-side instead of having to prove yours.

because cognitive dissonance between your “beliefs” and reality is only going to grow stronger. Pray more?

He doesn’t want to talk about anything. The public is catching on and consider him to be “the out of touch candidate”. Just remember when Bush 1 didn’t know what a check out scanner was it destroyed his campaign. Romney is completely out of touch with the real world of ordinary people. I guess he believes it’s OK for some people to try and live on a $7.25 minimum wage. Someone asked him about that in a recent press conference and he dodged the question

Romney’s bus tour didn’t convince anyone he has a clue about 99% of America, apparently.

Post after post of mindless hate from our “enlightened” left. You post your prejudice and hatred for normal people to read and expect us to follow you or vote for your candidate.

Bloomberg is an obvious outlier and no amount of name calling or personal attacks are going to make it legitimate. Every other poll shows the two candidates within 4 points of each other.

Honestly, I live in Florida, I voted for Obama in 2008 and I’m done with all his divisiveness and the violent hate from his supporters. I’m not going to raise my kids in a country led by a man that finds a new scapegoat or people to hate everytime he goofs up.

Obama diehards, wake up, if he loses in November, he’s going to blame you first. You’re only his “friend” when you adore him without question.

Funny to read comments of Romney supporters.

They sound defeated already.

Such a horrible candidate.

The data doesn’t fit the narrative. It must not be factual. I noticed this about the unemployment numbers until they trended up. And the opposite with oil prices, until they started trending down.

Hollywood is calling for the chauffer of Mitt’s bus after his stunt driving whenever Romney pulled up to a stop and saw protestors. “Yikes, get me out of this!” That bus burned rubber to make the Dukes of Hazzard blush.

Who are they asking?????? People on welfare looking for a hand out or union workers looking for a hand out???????? They are close to being one in the same………..Not much of a difference between them!!!!!!!! Bloomsburg better start to ask real Americans that are non union, legal citizens paying tax’s and not getting welfare and I hope they wont forget the self employed people that made this country what it has been long before unions stsrted to steal from the very people the were ment to protect!!!!!!!!!!! Let bloomsburg talk to me and I will point them in the right direction of people to ask………I am talking about the last 100,000 thousand people i ask about Obama that all said he is done, he got to go!!!!!!!!!

So much money to burn and nothing to show for it..

1:27 pm
“Only 2 things come from Texas, boy, and I don’t see any horns on you!”

It is always fascinating when donkeys regurgitate their “holly-weird” education. You fit right in with JW and his anti-austerity economics. Donkeys are a hoot and a half !

And no Donkeys, Obama won’t win. The economy is still sliding down. Early earnings projections for this quarter are poor. Procter and Gamble cited a poor outlook and it’s stock fell 3%. The stock market took a dive when the Fed announced Operation twist would continue through 2012. Maybe greedy Wall Street wanted more free money with QE3. Maybe they saw the downward revision of the fed report. Unemployment should start to pick up again in a few months as the US slides into the global recession. China’s markets are already falling. And no this isn’t anything the Republicans put together. It’s just wasted, ineffective, excessive expenditures on behalf of the present administration.

Bernanke has completely politicized the FED. Wall Street is pounding on his door. Main Street is closing it’s eyes and hoping this political nightmare will just go away. Nice to see the Donkeys are enthusiastic. At least somebody is.

As usual Ken, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

This slide is because the Obama admin is engaging in austerity already. I know, you can’t understand how that can be when we have deficit spending. All I can say is take an accounting class, possibly some finance though that is probably above you.

Real government spending is down about 2.5% over the last year. Data can be had from FRED if you have the skill to get it, or if you want to see for yourself because you aren’t Locked into an ideology that forces you to ignore data that refutes said ideology.

Or just tell yourself it’s spending causing the problem and don’t worry about reality.

Ken is an idiot and never fails to show his ignorance and inability to grasp the obvious improvement in economic conditions. The celebration of misery of americans is exactly what republicans are doing.

The majority will vote against pessimism and negativism. The Bloomberg poll is reflecting that rejection of Romney and his politics of miserable prevarication.

Hope and change are alive and well. We the donkeys will stubbornly persist and will kick your wingnuts!

something doesn’t smell right in Denmark – with this poll. Reminds of the polls they recrently calculated in WI showing Walker with a narrow margin – then after the election was actually a “wide margin”

The only reliable polls are Rasmussen and Gallop.
Period.

Bloomberg needs to stick to the food business.

I remember a few weeks before the 2008 elections, Zogby had McCain winning.
I only believe Rasmussen or Gallup.

MItt Romney is not a likeable candidate. Moreover, he comes across as a Manic-Depressive who is on the Manic phase of his illness. Further, if he were elected it would not be the kind of government we have now, but the kind of government led by the priviledged few.

Now, granted Obama has his flaws as well, but to give the Presidency to a guy like Romney is asking for trouble. His term in office would be more accurately described as the “Billionaires Ball.”

Mitt Romney doesn’t give a tinker’s damnnnn about the working white middle class. He only wants to hold office because he’s worth a lot of money and he’s bored. He’s a Mormon and a former elder in his church and probably feels that it is his divine right to be president and to do God’s will for the good of the American People.

An administration under Romney would be a paean to the wealthy and how people ought to live if only they were as hard working and as brilliant as the rich.

An administration under Barack Obama would be more of his half-baked philosophies on Socialism, but my best educated guess is that people would still get a better break once the economy starts to turn around, which it already has.

As much as I dislike Obama, Mitt Romney will be a force of the wealthy. Romeny knows how to play hardball and has the deep pockets to literally crush the opposition. But, he more than likely won’t give the white working middle class snow in the winter time, given the way he has behaved under his company Bain enterprises.

http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/news-politics/20120621/US.AP.Poll.Presidential.Campaign/

Maybe Bloomberg pollers prefer to call liberal Democrats.

I think that Ken makes a lot more sense than you people who, in the face of other polls collectively showing a much closer race, continue to insist that Obama is way ahead because of one leftist poll.

I think that it is a great story for the wsj to run, as they knew that their posters with brains, who read other news sources, would point out the obvious skew.

A shift by independent voters gives President Barack Obama a 46 – 42 percent lead over Republican Gov. Mitt Romney in the Sunshine State, according to the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll. …

In the presidential race, Obama’s lead reflects the coalition that elected him four years ago.  He carries women 49 – 39 percent, African-Americans 91 – 5 percent and voters 18 to 34 years old 55 – 28 percent.  Obama also leads 48 – 41 percent among voters 35 to 54 years old.  Men split 44 – 45 percent.  Romney carries white voters 50 – 37 percent and voters over 55 years old 48 – 43 percent.

I think we need to see additional polling. This poll could be an outlier. Bloomberg would need to have serveral polls with similar results before you could say this is way Americans are leaning. I put more faith in Quinnipiac polling. I have nothing against Selzer & Co. polling, it just they can’t explain the results either. A rather odd poll.

Why bother posting, much less writing an article about an obvious outlier poll. I’m (not) surprised that Bloomberg would even bother publishing/highlighting/showing this. What, did they contact likely voters in NYC and Los Angeles and Chicago? The only news here is that Real Clear Politics has used this to bump up the RCP average % for Obama.

“55% of likely voters said the Republican candidate is more out of touch with average Americans than the president” I am sick to death of that attitude. I personally don’t want or need a President who is in touch with the average American. I want a President who is a a leader…a manager and is in touch with the NATION and has an idea on how to bring the COUNTRY back on track. If the economy and jobs are robust, the “average American” can take care of himself or herself. The current President is not in touch with either. Grow up America!

It’s funny to see all the dems on this comment channel put their hopes in THE MOST OUT OF TOUCH POLL in the nation. All polls (except this one) show Romney and Obama in a statistical dead heat.
I understand your excitement given the failing nature of this administration and its campaign.

If you love big government, vote Obama. If you love big government, vote Romney. If you hate big government, vote Gary Johnson.

Quick opinion survey: Who is a bigger d-bag? Ken from Austin or denise? Discuss amongst yourselves.

Hahahaha…….Keep on dreaming and ignoring the special elections across the country in the past 2 years and especially the the 2010 election results, and let’s not forget Wisconsin’s huge win in “Demarat” territory. Romney will win by 10 to 11 points nationwide on the popular vote. Barry will loose all but one or two of the 13 swing States, those States will determine who the victor will be. All that matters is who wins the swing States. The already red States will stay red and the blue will be blue, but the tan States is the big prize. Michigan and Iowa will be the only swing States Barry will probably carry, hell…. Barry is behind or dead even in Michigan as I speak. The electoral vote final tabulation will be somewhere around this “Romney 315 to Barry’s 223″. There will be alot of the same Winconsin union crybaby’s nationwide on the night of November 6th. Get your popcorn and 2 liter coke ready, you will need alot of coke so you guys don’t choke on a kernal. http://www.270towin.com/

12:04……ha if your comment is in jest, oherwise you are a moron

I love how people put their faith in polls that are taken five months before the actual election. Polls are but a snapshot of one day……. polls tell you nothing else. Even if it was the other way around, the election day poll will tell you more than one taken in June.

@ Anonymous………Wait and see Kemobabe. Hahahahaha.

I no longer trust polls published by the lying liberal news media. Polls are no longer being used to find out what people are thinking, but rather to tell people what they should think. In other words, deliberately skewing polls in order to influence the momentum and direction of public opinion because there is always a weak minded segment that follows the majority like sheep.

Let the Commies think that they are going to win. We will see who shows up for the vote…

The Nazis.

obama is going to get SHALLACKED in NOVEMBER..just like the mid terms and just like wisconsin..watch and learn ,,AGAIN

The “organized” crowd is really out in force today.

I wonder if they ever realize, that they are to comment sections, what “Viagra marketers” are to email?

This poll is COMPLETE DRIBBLE

Etch a sketch, flip flops, Romnesia.

Not one detail about how he will improve the economic conditions, lower the deficit and what they would cut.

Also if he were to win, they do not expect the likely Democratic majorities in the House and Senate to behave the same way that republicans have behaved in their opposition to Obama.

Romney will be completely paralyzed.

The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a maxim,[2] ethical code, or morality[3] that essentially states either of the following:
(Positive form): One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.[2]
(Negative/prohibitive form, also called the Silver Rule): One should not treat others in ways that one would not like to be treated.
This concept describes a “reciprocal” or “two-way” relationship between one’s self and others that involves both sides equally and in a mutual fashion.

The fact that Romney even has a chance of beating Obama in November speaks to how poor of a president he is. Keep the House, win the Senate, and make Obama’s life hell for four more years, that’s my Republican strategy.

Some polls tell us the people they polled, others tell us the people that polled

The Journal should have pointed out that not just some, but EVERY other poll shows the race to be very tight, and the two polls with the largest sample size (Gallup tracking and Rasmussen tracking) have regularly shown Romney ahead for most of the last ten weeks. Not one other major poll has shown Obama ahead by more than four points during that period.

The Bloomberg poll also differs widely from ALL the other major polls on the generic Republican or Democrat for congress, and whether in general voters think that Obama is doing a good job.

A great deal more skepticism should have been expressed when one poll varies so greatly from all the others. When a Rasmussen poll came out late in the special election for Senator from Massachusetts following Sen. Kennedy’s death, and that poll showed state senator Scott Brown ahead of Attorney General Martha Coakley after having been trailing for months, the reaction from the press around the country was highly skeptical – even dismissive. This was despite the fact that Rasmussen has a long and very strong record when its polling results are compared to actual election results.

Good journalism shouldn’t be dismissive in such cases, but it should include a listing of other recent poll results showing how much this poll differed from the others. It should raise questions about the outlier poll’s methodology (sample size, weightings, wording of questions, etc.) and it should compare the different polling organizations records in forecasting elections.

ahh, pool paid by BO

This Bloomberg poll helps prepare the general public for acceptance of the massive voter fraud that will take place, which will insure the re-election of the president.

! I’m a Whatrepublican through and through. As rep[ublicans we MUST convince these dopes

What a joke!

Anyone remember how many polls showed Carter beating Reagan, right up until the only poll that mattered resulted in a landslide?
I hope the polls show Obama in the lead all the way to November. Then the lazy and shiftless, his core supporters, won’t get off the couch, and he will be toast.

I heard the poll wasn’t even close. They ask Michelle and the two kids who they liked and they were for Obama. They then asked the dog and he didn’t say anything. Obama in a landslide!

Does anybody really know how much wood a Woodchuck can chuck?

where are they getting these numbers?? They should do a written poll, that would change the results.

hahahahahahahahaha

If Obama loses, their will no doubt be many movies made about the “stolen” election and how racism cost him the election. Funny how whitey got him elected and whitey will be blamed for racism when they vote against him. I hate Romney but my hate for Obama is much, much more.

I have some swamp land in Arizona I would like to sell ya!

I’m an Obama backer, but this is ridiculous. This is why no one believes the polls anymore.

Who conducted this poll? David Axelrod.? Baloney. Obama,has caused more problems in three years,than Bush did in eight. Unemployment at 8-9% does not get on reelected. He may be a nice guy, and all that crap, but he is brain dead on the economy, and foreign affairs. Great smile, but a cheese head. Let’s throw in,White hating, and America hating Michell Obama, with her phony wigs, and smile. why would America wish another four years with this Anti American and Ant White First Family.

Who did they interview? Sounds like only the Bloomberg employees in the break room. Because real America is FED UP with OBAMA. By an overwhelming majority margin. This election will be Reagan vs. Carter all over again. Landslide for the good guys (not the Democrats).

It is pointless to comment on polls really because conservatives will say a lib leaning poll is BS, and a :ib wil;l say a con leaning poll is flawed etc. I cannot believe we even do polling because it is pointless. But for the record Bloomberg would hardly be considered a left leaning company nor its readers/users.

Most polls have Romney ahead. These polls the main stream media keep pushing are just to rally Obama’s base, but it’s not going to work. The ecomomy is a mess and it’s going to get worse as November rolls around and Obama will be out.

I dont have a clue who they are polling, but in my circles, whether rich or poor, whether NY or NC, Obama aint happening.

Let’s call for an investigation of the three gay male’s murders in Chicago. One of the mothers of the murdered claims Obama did it to quell the messy situation before the last election.
Apparently, Rahm and Obama were members of a Gay men’s club and one reporter swears he saw Obama having sex with one of them.
Yuck.

Obama isn’t happening in most circles in which people actually work and pay taxes. Only for those under 35 or so who think they are “liberal” because they left mom’s and smoke pot.
(Eyes roll.)

Last time I checked it was President Obama and not Mr. Obama. Kind of disrespectful unless the auhtor does not believe President Obama was elected to the office.
