Yeah, the only reason Michigan is close is because it's Romney's "home" state. He's going to get rocked in the rest of the Midwest.

Top-lines in 15 minutes from the date stamp on my post supposedly from PPP. Meanwhile, Rick is pushing hard for Dems to vote for him to keep it all going. He's doing operation backdoor himself. Can't blame him of course, but it will give Mittens an alibi if he loses to Rick by a tad in Michigan. He will just say enough Democrats voted in the Pub primary in hopes that a weaker candidate will face Obama, or to keep the demolition derby going hurting all Pubs.

But Rick is asking for Dem votes in earnest- that his economic brand is more inclusive. Do Republicans think they can win Michigan in the general without peeling off Democratic votes? Really?

It's over! The goose is cooked! I tried to tell you guys last night on the chat, but no one would listen! Romney has it all in the bag now. He's going to win Washington, win all but maybe Georgia and Oklahoma on Super Tuesday, and that'll be it. Game over.

Yeah, I'm skeptical. There aren't any pollsters with experience polling a GOP caucus here (they've always polled the primary in the past).

And of course Romney under performed PPP's numbers in MN and CO.


Title: Re: The "PPP leaks stuff about their polls" thread
Post by: Mr. Morden on March 01, 2012, 02:21:17 AM
What was turnout like in CO and MN, as compared to NV?  Because I recall Mark Blumenthal commenting on how useless caucus polling tends to be for the especially low turnout cases.  I'm wondering if CO and MN had lower turnout than NV, and wondering if that explains why PPP's polling did better in NV than the other two.

Most of the coverage about NV dealt with the low turnout and the horrendous vote counting shenanigans. Michigan was a competitive primary in a big state. If Mitt can just keep his trap shut for another day, he should be fine.


Title: PPP Tweets Romney pulling ahead in Ohio
Post by: Whacker77 on March 03, 2012, 01:05:27 PM
The Obama campaign can begin plans for its second inaugural because it appears Willard is now moving ahead in Ohio.  At least, that's what PPP tweeted today.  A Romney win in Ohio ends any hopes of a convention fight or a new candidate.  That means Republicans are stuck with our own version of John Kerry.

Maybe I'm totally misreading the situation, but I see no way Romney can win a general election.  He's shown no ability to mobilize the base and he lacks authenticity.  I've followed this race as closely as anyone and I have no idea what Romney really believes.  In the end, the conservative base will show up for Romney, but will Independents?

Many people, trying to convince themselves all is not lost, note Reagan trailed Carter badly in 1980 and went on to sweep to victory.  That is true, but Reagan was the conservative choice and had the passions of the grass roots.  More importantly though, the political make up of the parties is far different today than they were then.

In 1980, the makeup of the parties was far different.  Both parties had strong liberal and conservative wings.  Today though, the parties are essentially ideologically pure.  There are no conservatives left in the Democrat party just as there are no liberal left in the Republican party.  The hyperpartisan nature of today would probably not have allowed for the Reagan blowouts in 1980 and 1984.

I'm sure there will be moments in the campaign when Romney puts Obama on his heels, but I just don't see Romney ever really challenging Obama.


Title: Re: PPP Tweets Romney pulling ahead in Ohio
Post by: Politico on March 03, 2012, 01:16:21 PM
Both sides have 40% no matter what. Romney has no skeletons in the closet, and can win a plurality of the 20% in the middle by appearing safe and competent. Except when you have a Goldwater-like challenger, campaigns involving an incumbent are essentially referendums on the incumbent. $4-5/gallon and underemployment in the 15-20% range with official unemployment over 8% is a losing referendum for the incumbent if his challenger is not perceived as risky. If Obama descends into scorch-and-burn tactics like Bush did in 2004, that is still a battle Romney can win by being negative about the state of things and tying Obama into them (which is something the electorate is already doing without this narrative). Stuff like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K34sHH3xZAY

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoQ1gged_KI

Outside of that stuff in response to Obama's negative onslaught, Romney can just run positive stuff like this and he'll have little problem seeing Obama lose his referendum:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fg3EAdGLDhU

I'll add this: Romney is not a natural politician, and obviously he's not everyman America. However, he does have a passion for driving. It was ingrained in him as a child by virtue of his dad being the head of an automotive company in Detroit. Mitt's love of driving is authentic. And who doesn't like driving in America? The Mitt on the Road ads are going to help with his perceived "authenticity" problem.

The election will largely be a referendum on Obama. Mittens just needs to convince folks that he is not a risky scheme, just like Reagan did, and we have a real horse race. That should not be too hard. Mittens may be cold, un-empathetic, somewhat socially awkward, somewhat introverted actually, and a trimmer sometimes, but risky? I think not. And for all of the bills of particulars listed by folks against Mittens, he is running tight with Obama in the polls even before he is nominated.

No, the election will be about choice.

Romney has to actually convince people that he is a legit alternative to Obama, simply not being Obama isn't good enough.

No, he is not. In some polls he is down by 10 points. That is not close at all. He is losing in Virginia and Ohio, two states he need to win to become president. And Obama still has to start campaigning for real.

You overestimate how much the 20% in the middle care about "issues." If most of them perceive Romney as NOT risky, that's good enough to bury Obama.

The part I bolded and underlined is the problem I have.  Given the economy continues to lag, unemployment has been over 8.5% since early 2009, and gas prices are very high, Romney ought to have a 10 point lead over Obama.  The fact he trails, albeit relatively closely, is a major warning sign to me he can't defeat Obama at all.  I think the national polls tell perfectly how weak he is.

The 20% in the middle do not care about the fact Romney changed his position on Roe V. Wade. Romney has never flip-flopped on matters of war and peace. John Kerry's "I actually voted for the war before I voted against it" (I know that's not the direct quote) during the middle of a war we were appearing to lose was part of what BARELY did him in.

Good luck creating the narrative of the Mr. Bland of American Politics as a risky scheme. The Obama Team is good, but not THAT good, especially up against Karl Rove and Co.

Ronald Reagan was tied with Jimmy Carter a week before Election Day. Need I say more?

The polling will probably be tight until the last few days of the campaign. Then it will break heavily to Romney, just like it did for Reagan, once everybody is convinced that Romney is not a risky scheme and things are just too bad to reward Obama with re-election. Romney will probably win around 51-47, simply because Obama's team is so good at organizing, but with the potential of something like 54-44 if it breaks 1980-hard his way.

Romney is not Reagan.  I know Politico is a huge Romney supporter, but the blinkers are hurting his view of things.  I'm not sure McCain, as bad a candidate as he was, was ever this compromised.  He just ran in a lousy year for Republicans.  Romney is just a lousy candidate.

As for the Newt surge, it just shows conservatives are a stupid voting block.  At the very time they should be using Santorum as a vessel to block Romney, they're shifting slightly back to Newt and thus spliting their influence.

If you say so, but what about Obamacare? The PPACA is probably the biggest reason as to why conservatives don't like Obama, and Mitt Romney's flip-flop there certainly won't raise much enthusiasm.

With the delegate allocation rules in the two states we are probably looking at a pretty even 3 way split of the delegates. That is good news and bad news for Mittens. Good news nobody is gaining on him,  bad news it makes it a little tougher to get 50% of the total before the convention.

Remember, there are 29 delegates outside of the South awarded on Tuesday.

Well, if you want to get technical, Hawaii doesn't "award" any delegates on Tuesday, because their caucus isn't a binding process (and at any rate, they may not even have a straw poll; I haven't seen confirmation of this).

Yes they do award delegates. They may call it a caucus but in reality is more like a primary with limited polling places and limited hours than an Iowa type Caucus. 17 delegates are awarded proportionally by the results (3 each CD and 11 statewide).

I have been expecting this for days. Those polls of 3, 4 and 6 points were complete BS. I could see it from just looking at the map of the state and keeping in mind both the Senate and Gubernatorial primaries of 2010 and the proper proportions of each part of state. Many I think have been overestimating that proportion of "Illinois' Alabama" within a GOP primary, and underestimating the voting power of Cook and the collar counties. Romney would have to loose ground within his demographics or suffer severely low turnout for this be even close.


Hell just today they were still discussing the possibility of Rick upsetting Mitt here, on FNS.

Huh? Where does that "It's over!!! Romney has it wrapped up!!!" thing came from the last two days? Mittens was always the heavy favorite in Illinois, even after his southern debacle. A simple look at an Illinois map will show even to the most naive that Chicagoland will always outvote downstate, even in a Republican primary.

And Santorum will be fine in April as long as he wins the states he's expected to win (Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and perhaps Delaware). If he manages to survive there then it will be Romney who will have to face a brutal month in May.

Santorum needs a game changer. Illinois would be one but he's not getting it. In fact, he's probably going to get blown out of the water. On the current trajectory (Santorum winning some of the caucus states and most of the ultra conservative states/Romney winning everything else), Romney wins the nomination. Simple as that.

Well, that was pretty obvious always. The point is that even if Romney wins Illinois in a landslide, the primary season isn't going to shut down. The best Democrats can hope for is for him suffering through a grinding process that reaches through June and which weakens him considerably as a GE candidate.

The only possibility for Santorum to do something more than that is if he survives the Northeast Super Tuesday and proceeds to sweep every contest in May (very difficult but not inconceivable), thus making the argument that Mittens is damaged goods and forcing an open convention.

Ben Kenobi, Santorum can't even begin to erode Romney's lead unless he starts winning states that will give him decisive pools of delegates.  Romney racking up the numbers while Santorum boasts about winning Southern contests that award him practically no net delegates simply will not cut it.  If you note things like how Hawaii neutralized Santorum's win in AL and MS and Romney actually won more delegates and expanded his lead on the night of his "big defeat," you'll start to see the magnitude of the task Santorum faces.  If he's to force the brokered convention, he needs to beat Romney in states like IL, states like NJ, states like...hell, even possibly NY.

I respect the hell out of the campaign Santorum's run.  Being dead serious for a moment, Santorum has literally won states despite being outspent 5/1 or worse.  That's pretty incredible and speaks to how terrible a candidate Romney is the passion of Santorum's supporters.  But unless he shakes the dynamics of the race up, he will lose, even though he'll win another 8-10 states along the way to defeat.

Exactly, Santorum's success clearly took him by surprise.

In order for Santorum to win, he needs to keep Romney's PV margins down, but equally, needs to focus on willing delegates... since more delegates are in urban and suburban areas, Romney continues to vacuum up delegates despite losing the popular vote.

Santorum and Romney are in opposite by oddly similar positions. Rick needs to win a major swing state and start to win in urban/suburban areas to increase delegate collection and establish a moral justification for their continued candidacy. Mitt needs to start to expand his base beyond wealthy, educated "yuppie"/suburbanites... in order to create momentum . Mitt also needs to win somewhere that isn't a) a state won by Obama in 2008 (it looks good to some, but only re-enforces the 'moderate' tag) b) a red state by winning the areas that Obama won c) a state with a disproportionate Mormon pop'n d) a state with a majority GOP 'conservative' electorate....

I see the magnitude, and our maths differ. I have him at 22/23 states which may be enough (without IL) to force a convention outright.

Santorum wins IL - he can likely take the nomination. A romney win here is status quo, reinforcing the deadlock.

Santorum, to be credible, has to start winning delegates.  Romney on a clear path to victory.  In March, Mittens has increased his lead over Santorum by more than 200 delegates.  That is the status quo.

At best, a Santorum win in IL, in terms of delegates, is highly unlikely.

BTW, according to AP, Romney gained two delegates in MS.  Greenpages said just one soft, but they take a while to update.

Delaware might be fertile ground for Santorum too.

Montana and Indiana are not Romney-states ... yet.

Does anyone know which part of Montana has more sway in a Republican primary? The eastern half, which resembles closely the Dakotas, will be Rick country. If it can outvote the more populous but more Democratic western half then Santorum will be the favorite.

On the other hand, Delaware's 2008 primary result mirrored the one in Illinois.

And we know how the IL primary ended this week.

McCain's vote both in Illinois and Delaware was pretty homogenous. He didn't have a glaring problem with downscale voters and his military record made him a much better fit for rural areas, where Romney gets killed everytime.
Again, it's a matter of numbers. If Wilmington and subs can outvote the downstate the Mittens wins. If not then Rick wins.

If the polling gets worse, he may drop out sooner so he can claim his upcoming loss was due to the nomination being decided before Pennsylvania voted.  Which in many ways is true.  I think Santorum lost Wisconsin because many Republicans decided that it was more important to end the race than it was to find the best candidate.  Santorum's losing the support of those who were hoping for a brokered convention that would choose someone who isn't running as it becomes apparent that the brokered convention won't happen.

Regarding their presidential polls out later today:

Tomorrow's poll releases: Virginia President, North Carolina President, Wisconsin Senate

Another very good poll for Obama in Virginia. Going to be pretty surprised if he doesn't win it again.

Romney's down by decent amount in VA whether you include him or not but Virgil Goode could cause trouble for him there- takes 9% of GOP vote

Our sample is less Democratic this time, and less Democratic than 2008, and Obama still doing very well

Obama's up 11 with independents in Virginia, and he's getting 9% of Republicans while losing just 4% of Democrats

Obama up 85-12 with black voters in NC this month, the 76-20 in June was just an anomaly, as we thought

1 pt race for President in North Carolina this month...probably going to be about like that all the way through

Romney's experience at Bain is an 11 point net negative with North Carolina voters

Paul Ryan on the ticket helps Romney in Wisconsin a lot more than Scott Walker

If I had to estimate PPP's Colorado topline for their release today, it would be 49-44 Obama, based on the above mentioned 35-35-30 sample and the 49-38 Indy split.

PPP polls Colorado, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina this weekend from Friday to Sunday to get a full post-convention look.

Florida and North Carolina will be released later today after 9pm Eastern. The other 2 states will be polled today as well and will be released tomorrow or Tuesday.

Some tweets:

What we're seeing in our swing state polling tonight: mixed reviews on the Eastwood speech, but his favorability numbers still stratospheric

Quote
Eastwood far more popular than anyone else who spoke at the GOP convention. Only two in the same ballpark are Ann Romney and Condi

Quote
Rubio's approval numbers in Florida looking easily the best they've been since he took office- speech must have been hit at home

We'll have our first post-convention Presidential polls in Florida and North Carolina tomorrow night after 9

No bounce for Romney in Florida- Obama leads 48-47, exactly identical to our last poll there 5 weeks ago

I never expected Goode (or Johnson) to do better than the MoE in any state come election day.  Most of their poll support represents is people who wish they had someone other than Obama or Romney to win.  Most of those people will either end up choosing who they think is the lesser of two weevils, or simply not vote.

Remember all that talk about Obama's burn rate and how they were blowing all their cash? Well this is what they were spending it on, a huge and sophisticated ground operation in all the swing states. It is what has kept NC competitive when it should be polling like IN and it has helped turn OH (a traditionally lean R swing state) into a sort of trump card in a close election.

 Of course if Obama screws up in Debate #2 there is only so much a good campaign can do.

Our PPP poll will have the most pessimistic Obama numbers of the week. - @markos




Great news!

They are probably setting a low bar for Obama this week, so they can show a big bounce next week ...

When will this poll be released?

It really does seem quite likely. There's no reason for numbers coming out right now to be particularly pessimistic for Obama, unless they are polling for some sort of unthought of element or something, so it may well be a builder. I'm not going to say that PPP is purposely skewing their polls (perhaps, but it's unlikely) but maybe they got a poor sample and will over publish it in this case knowing it will revert back.

Of course, maybe it really just is a bunch of bad numbers for Obama/an honestly bad sample. Often around here we forget that the simple, non-conspiracy path is always a possibility.

their last poll was bad for Obama (R by 2 I think). Maybe R+3 or +4 now. The thing to see will be the party id of the sample...

PPP does have a small Democratic house effect, but it tends to wear off before the election. (I'm not saying they intentionally skew their numbers, there is zero evidence to that effect). Since, for instance, Nate Silver's model counts house effects, you can be sure a PPP poll showing Romney+3 (or more) would result in Romney gaining even further in the model.

How could either candidate possibly get a bounce from yesterday.  It was the most un-newsworthy debate ever. When Candy Crowley's "fact checking" gets 95% of the coverage, there is not going to be a change in the polls.

How was anything that happened in the first debate more notable than Romney getting called out on a lie by both the President and the moderator?

Obama looked tired and disinterested in the first debate. That was the only thing that was notable about it. Nothing either of them said was particularly important and it's not like Romney's performance was particularly exceptional.

Probably. Then again, Obama is up 8 points in the NBC/Marist poll. Obama can still be up by 3 and technically Romney is doing a "whole lot better." I'm guessing that PPP will have Iowa tied though.

I like PPP, but I am getting a bit annoyed with their little cryptic hints on Twitter. Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I think its amateurish. They need to post their results and stop pretending that they're the damned Riddler or something. This is just my annoying, boorish opinion. Probably the only one who thinks this way.

Yes, I think he pulls OH (and IA, though it won't be decisive). 

This is a turnout election.  In a couple of states, WI and OH, R's have something close to Obama's 2008 ground game.  I'm not certain he has his 2008 ground game. 

Part of the 2008 ground game was registration; the Republicans have won that phase already.

My prediction is 205 at 1:30-1:45 PM.  It was 214 in 2008.  I expect this to drop due to registration changes.  It was around 170 in 2004.  If it is below 160, Obama might have a problem.

"Obama leads 67/28 with Hispanics and 89/9 with blacks- that will win it for him if he stays within 20 among whites"

That is mostly due to the fact PPP only polls land lines.
