Romney Surges
25 Oct 2012 9:27 pm Michael Fell

With less than two weeks to go before Election Day, Mitt Romney has eliminated the 16 point advantage Barack Obama once enjoyed among women. Last month, women preferred Obama over Romney 56% to 40% on the economy. Now, the difference is 49% for Romney and 45% for Obama. Where understanding people’s problems is concerned, Obama’s lead among women has shrunk from 58%-36% to a 50%-43%.
The polls consistently show a real surge to Romney, away from Obama:
Rasmussen: Mitt Romney 50% nationwide, Obama 47%.
Gallup: Romney 50%, Obama 47%.
ABC News/Washington Post: 49% Romney, …

Keeping the Faith
25 Sep 2012 10:07 pm Matt Vespa

It’s over! At least, that’s what the liberal pundits are saying 24/7. Romney is lagging behind in key states and since Barack Obama is awesome – this whole election is over. In the words of Yogi Berra, “it ain’t over, til’ it’s over.” We’re 41 days away from Election Day and some on the right are convinced that the Romney campaign is being eaten away by aflesh-eating virus.
Better yet, being undercut by your own (or supposedly your own) team by being labeled “incompetent.” At least, that’s what Peggy Noonan wrote …

Walmart Moms Are Key In 2012
24 Jul 2012 12:59 pm Matt Vespa

The 2012 election is currently in a dead heat. Americans are evenly split with 46% favoring President Obama and 45% favoring Mitt Romney. This current election cycle just crossed the 1 billion dollar mark and 9% of the electorate is still undecided. One of those groups that can tip the balance and could pose a threat to Obama’s re-election bid is the Walmart Moms. Walmart Moms are defined as a group of women who have hit economic hard times, have shopped at a Walmart store in the past month, and …

Electability: Obama trails Santorum but leads Romney in FL, OH, VA, NC
19 Mar 2012 12:00 am Wintery Knight

Ask any supporter of Mitt Romney why they are supporting him and you will get one answer – electability. That’s what people keep hearing in the media – even on Fox News. Electability, electability, electability. But what happens when you look at the actual poll numbers in battleground states?
It’s a Rasmussen Reports poll - a reliable poll.
Excerpt:
President Obama now trails former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum by four points in a hypothetical 2012 matchup in combined polling of key swing states Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. The president continues to hold a modest …

Voter ID and Your Kitchen Sink
20 Jan 2012 11:34 am Sarah Durand

A few days ago a friend forwarded me an email she received from MoveOn.org. The email was in response to South Carolina’s attempt to change their voting laws, recently struck down by the Department of Justice. In a tone of sheer panic, the good people of MoveOn.org begged for money because South Carolina wants to require voters to show ID at the polls.
MoveOn.org’s apocalyptic prediction was that by requiring voters to show photo IDs, Republicans would “steal” the elections, because the “laws shamelessly target key segments of the Obama coalition …

Surprise! Poll with ties to SEIU and Daily Kos says… Ron Paul getting close to leaders in Iowa
13 Dec 2011 9:23 pm Doug Ross

Before you put too much stock in the most recent PPP poll, you may want to review this April 2011 Hill article:
A top union and a top liberal blog announced Tuesday that they’ll team up to sponsor polling through the 2012 elections. Daily Kos and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) said they will join forces to conduct issue and campaign polling in key states and races over the next two years…
…The SEIU/Daily Kos poll will use Public Policy Polling (PPP), a Democratic firm that uses automated polling …

Obama’s Meager Post-Bin Laden Bounce Spells Political Trouble For Him
4 May 2011 3:28 am John Hawkins

Bush 41 went all the way up to an 88% approval rating after the Gulf War. His son W. soared from 51% to 90% in the space of 10 days after 9/11.
That brings us to the death of Osama Bin Laden.
This was a HUGE event. There were spontaneous celebrations in New York and people chanting “USA, USA, USA” outside the White House at 4 AM. Americans were THRILLED OUT OF THEIR MINDS that Osama Bin Laden was dead and that we’d killed him. Seeing as how Barack Obama was …

SHOCKING: Soros Funded University Poll Says Fox News Viewers Most ‘Misinformed’ Politically
20 Dec 2010 9:00 am Warner Todd Huston

A poll conducted by WorldPublicOpinion.org, a “project” run out of the University of Maryland, was the toast of the left-wingers last week for its finding that Fox News viewers were the most “misinformed” during the 2010 election cycle. Sadly, few of the news pieces on this poll mentioned that WorldPublicOpinion.org is funded in part by such far left-wing organizations as the Ben and Jerry’s Foundation, the Ploughshares Fund, the United States Institute of Peace, and the George Soros backed Tides Foundation.
The report was big news throughout the lefty blogs and …

Washington Post Covers For Team Obama With Body Scanner Poll – 53% Idiocy
23 Nov 2010 9:00 am William Teach

It is not just the Obama Administration that is tone deaf as to what is going in with airport checkpoints: you can add the Washington Post and writers Jon Cohen and Ashley Halsey III to the list – Poll: Nearly two-thirds of Americans support full-body scanners at airports
Nearly two-thirds of Americans support the new full-body security-screening machines at the country’s airports, as most say they put higher priority on combating terrorism than protecting personal privacy, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Yet, that is NOT the …

VIDEO: Black Panther Agitation Erupts at Houston Polling Places
3 Nov 2010 9:00 am Warner Todd Huston

**NOTE** The video below is of eyewitness accounts. There is no video of the incidents inside the polling places because it is illegal to record either sound or video inside a voting place in Texas. If the poll watchers had video tapped these incidents they would have been arrested. In fact, the Texas Sec. of State and Harris County Attorney specifically instructed poll watchers to leave cell phones turned off in the polling place.
Here in Houston, Texas, the Democrats and the extremists that support them were desperate to make the …

Mental Health Facility Staffer Coerces Handicapped to Vote
2 Nov 2010 3:03 pm Warner Todd Huston

In Crow Wing County, Minnesota voting for the mentally handicapped instead of allowing them to vote for themselves is apparently like “instructing a young child on how to stay between the lines when coloring.” At least that is what a staffer for a facility for the mentally handicapped was heard saying at an early voting poll place last Friday. The staffer was seen filling out ballots for people that hadn’t the slightest idea why they were in the polling place.
Brainerd resident Montgomery Jensen witnessed this absurdity as he participated in …

King Street Poll Watchers Absolved of Harassment
1 Nov 2010 7:36 pm Warner Todd Huston

At one of the last poll watcher training sessions held by the King Street Patriots on November 1, Assistant Harris County Attorney Doug Ray made an admission that contravenes the media meme that charges KSPs poll watchers with harassing voters here in Harris County, Texas.
All week the media and Democrats have charged that voters were being harassed by King Street Patriots poll watchers and thus far county officials have not countered the claims being made by KSPs opponents. But this evening the myth has been busted.
During an address to those …

King Street Patriots And Voting Chaos: State Officials Don’t Know What County Officials Are Up To, Rules Terminally Unclear
1 Nov 2010 5:35 pm Warner Todd Huston

-By Warner Todd Huston
For those of you following along, I have been here in Houston, Texas all week following the spirited, grassroots, all-volunteer efforts of the King Street Patriots and their True The Vote project as they fan out across Houston as poll watchers assuring that early voting has been free, fair, and legal. They are poised to do the same for November 2, the final day of voting.
It has been enlightening, not to mention educational, to sit here at the King Streeter’s HQ observing the poll watcher training …

Texas Patriots Facing The Left’s Smear Machine
31 Oct 2010 11:40 am Warner Todd Huston

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I am here all week in Texas in Houston’s 18th Congressional District observing the energetic and determined work of the King Street Patriots as they implement their poll-watching initiative, True The Vote.
True The Vote made news early this month when initiative Chief Catherine Engelbrecht discovered that a former Service Employee International Union (SEIU) member had turned in over 23 thousand fraudulent voter registration cards. Englebrecht and the King Streeters then decided that they would initiate a grassroots poll-watching effort to make sure that …

Gallup: 1994 Ain’t Got Nothin’ On 2010
28 Oct 2010 2:08 pm John Hawkins

Republicans have been saying “Remember November” all year long and we’re finally about to get there. So, how’s it looking right before the big day? Most of the prognosticators seem to be predicting gains of around 50 seats for the GOP. Although I’ll be doing some more research this week-end and coming out with a final forecast on Monday, my initial thought is that those numbers seem a bit cautious to me. Why? Well, for one thing, the political hurricane whipping across the country is STRONGER than it was in …

Reid’s former Press Secretary Situation Screams Another Threat To Our Nation
28 Oct 2010 9:59 am Heather Bachman

Political offices have their own personalities, usually reflecting either the leadership or the party involved. However, there is an unspoken rule and understanding that whatever you do or have done can and will affect your political boss. In turn, the political leader has a consistent requirement to know pretty much everything about you and the people you commiserate with. Factors of the relationship such as a romantic involvement, professional partnership or more importantly, marriage give the information a higher ranking. Recently, information regarding Nevada legislator and party leader’s supposed lack …
