Romney the unquestionable front runner

Thanks for the chart. It would be interesting to see a chart for just the last three months.
That cluster at second place is really interesting.
I like Romney. Jury is still out on Bachmann, Perry, & Huntsman. Bachmann may be sinking because of opposing Boehmer’s plan.. Although sometimes I think Ron Paul is spot on – he doesn’t have the skill set or appeal necessary to be a national leader.
Perry is stil a wild card and viable.
The rest I’m either not too excited about or they haven’t officially announced and I’ll look when they do.

If you squint and look very closely, you can see early warning signs of a McCotter Surge!

#3 I see it.

You can’t average polls with different groups of candidates included. That makes no sense at all.

Until the field is set, none of this means anything.

==================================================
We agree on something. Not only that but sometimes there are multiple polls. ABC/Washington Post did a poll with Republican leaning voters and it came out Romney 26, Palin 18, Bachmann 12.

Exactly. When some candidates are not included, the announced candidates receive a higher percentage.

Grouped or ungrouped, declared or not…Romney is rocking’!
July 31st, 2011 at 11:44 am
I’m not sure why, but I like the way this chart looks.

Michele, Queen Grizzly #1 AND Sarah, #2 are splitting the mama bear vote right down the middle.
Hence Palin is waaaaaaaay too smart to get in now. Will she milk her fanboys a while longer? You Betcha!
You snooze, you lose. Sarah snoozed when Huck withdrew. Too bad.

“Bachmann may be sinking because of opposing Boehmer’s plan.. Although sometimes I think Ron Paul is spot on”
Since we don’t believe the cuts are real and that spending is still going up Michele and Ron are both “spot on” and are, of course on the SAME side regarding the Boehner plan.

Mitt’s chart line looks like a camel.

..with it’s tongue out

Except for few Rombots here and there Mitt Romney’s support is 1/2 inch deep,soft and fluid.
He’s been running for years under the very best conditions,no real declared opponent,yet.Still,his numbers are only 16%-23%.That’s his peak.From here on there is only one way to go-down.
Huckabee is out since May,
Ministry of Propaganda has been working 24/7 to tell us
that Sarah Palin will not run,
T-Paw is……T-Paw,he should be fishing in 10,000 lakes of Minnesota,
Bachmann is 2 terms congresswoman with no record,zero accomplishments but lots of me,me,me……and I found Jesus,
Cain is badly,shockingly uninformed man,
Paul is right on most of the issues,but he’s not a leader,
Huntsman should be Obama’s VP not a republican,………
So far Romney was riding the gravy train.Soon,it will come to an abrupt end.Willard will have a very rude awakening.
The new sheriff is coming to town.
She will hunt the bad guys and criminals in Washington,Wall Street and K Street and put them in jail where they belong,while creating conditions for full restoration of American greatness.
SARAH PALIN 2012!!!
GAME ON!!!
