Willards Unfavorability Rising

[Guest]

Following Willards gaffe filled overseas attempt to show he has foreign policy experience and his refusal to release any additional tax returns, Mitt Romney faces a public that views him more unfavorably than favorably, and the gap between the two opinions has grown in recent months, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll released Wednesday.

And that's not even the worse part for Willard - the worse part is that 53% of independent's say they view Obama favorably, and only 37% of independent's view Willard favorably.

and tomorrow the partisan wind sock will be blowing in another direction.

It would be nice when folks quote such startling information they at a minimum quote the source. Then we may stand a chance to find out the inputs of the poll/survey. One person? 10,000? all dems? all blacks? etc, etc, etc.

Remember those who claim to be able to hit the target....some in fact do and then there are politicians, pols and the partisan die hards that will shoot the arrow and where ever it lands they go paint a bullseye around the arrow and jump aside saying....me too!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you read the link it provides the source, number of folks contacted, and the date of the poll.

Or you can choose not to and pretend the information you question isn't there.

Here is what @coralway's linked article said regarding the poll, Billiethkid: The poll results are based on a survey by 1,026 adults around the country between Aug. 1 and Aug. 5. There is a plus or minus 4 percentage point margin of sampling error for the full poll.

Notice the response numbers when WaPo breaks it down to registered voters.

EDIT: I don't see any place where the pollsters at WaPo describe the demographics of those 1,026 polled.

I was just about to comment on that when you added your edit.

Very convenient that considering all the breakdowns of the demographics there is a blaring omission on the party affiliation of those polled.

Gee............I wonder why???

I never believe the liberal media.

Are you commenting on the correct thread?

You must have mistakenly posted on the wrong thread. Nothing in this discussion about Fox News.

That would be a very disturbing thing if true since they have by far, not even close, more viewers than anyone, however...

WIth all due respect..my question is why you SCREAM this in red letters. I see no reference to nor any comment about Fox news.

Can you perhaps put your scream into context...thanks

[Guest]

a decent answer from the original poster would have excluded the snide remark of "pretending not to see it". Adds no value and only degrades what ever you try to put forth. Borderline smart a$$ remark!!!
