Was there a need to comment? This poll is pretty much in line with everyone else....but if you insist!

If you look there are many more Republicans undecided than Dems....and Romney is +8 with Indy voters....both Obama's faves and approvals with Indy's is below 40....that is key! Once romney gets the consolodated GOP support after becoming the nominee and Indy's continue to shy away from Obama, this topline number moves into Romney's advantage.........

does that make you happy?

Well, I heard on NPR this morning new poll out today, cant remember who they said it was by, but someone well known, has Romney's approval among indies in the mid 20's so Obama's approval among indy's looks pretty good against Romney.

Ahhh yes, the ole' anonymous pollster.........................even if that is true, its to be expected since he's in a heated primary. We all know that once you win your party's primary, you get a bump across the baord in polling....so I would nto be surprised.

This poll though was just taken over the past few days and Romney is running +8 with Indy's...and this is PPP, you guys on the left hold up PPP as the gold standard!

Obama is a much better singer than Romney, that is for sure. I heard that the woman who wrote America the Beautiful, the song that Romney sang, was written by a woman, who was a lesbian. The song being considered a great patriotic song by so many in America's most conservative circles, the truth behind the song was she was a visionary; the lyrics echoed the fact that America is great, but America is flawed, and is prone to a wayward path at times.

Now I want to hear Newt Gingrich try to sing a song. Even better, Santorum gets on Mike Huckabee's program and plays America the beautiful together, with a southern gospel band from Arkansas with Santorum singing, when in fact it was written by a gay woman. You couldn't get more sensational than that!!!!
