Obama has a decent shot at scoring an upset here again if he doesn't implode. I wish somebody would poll Indiana.

[Mr. Morden]

I thought you were entering the general election numbers for whichever candidate was leading that state's primary?  Romney is leading the FL primary:

But it's a NC poll ...

Ack!  I clicked on the wrong thread.  Apologies.

[Jacobtm]

So, why do Republicans think Obama is doomed?

[cavalcade]

More Republican and independent undecideds (Romney wins independents).  But good numbers for Obama. 

Can anyone explain why Republicans seem to be doing better in VA than in NC?

[pbrower2a]

So, why do Republicans think Obama is doomed?

Because they think that nobody could possibly vote for someone 'so terrible'.  The blatant Tea Party types don't hear people responding to smears against the President anymore, and they begin to assume that the silence is proof that people who voted for him have often changed their minds about him and now have 'seen the light'.

I'd like to see the primary races there as well for the Senate and Governor seats

[Reaganfan]

These polls should be entered as Romney vs Obama.

It doesn't really matter at this point what is entered ...

In about 5 months, I can still change the old poll values so that it fits the eventual GOP nominee.

[Lief 🗽]

These polls should be entered as Romney vs Obama.

Why?

[Reaganfan]

These polls should be entered as Romney vs Obama.

Why?

Because Romney is the frontrunner.

[RI]

Why is North Carolina polling to the left of Virginia?

[Tender Branson]

These polls should be entered as Romney vs Obama.

Why?

Because Romney is the frontrunner.

No, he isn't.

Cain is ahead in the national polls and Cain also leads in Iowa and South Carolina, while Romney only has a good enough lead in New Hampshire.

[Lief 🗽]

Yup, Cain is clearly the front-runner: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/republican_presidential_nomination-1452.html

Yeah.

Maybe Cain currently looses a few supporters but on the other hand also picks up other supporters, misogynists maybe.

Similar to the people who thought Hillary was a boner-shrinking, ice-cold witch-bitch out to destroy everything that's in her way - and therefore supported Obama in the end.
