With numbers like that, Obama is sure to lose in the general election. Isn't it obvious?

I know. Once you convert this adult sample to RV, then convert the RV's to LV's, then make the 4 point clinched nomination adjustment that PP promises, then toss out this poll for being an internet one, Romney wins in a landslide.

Dude, you should look inside the polls sometimes. Do you even understand how much the numbers change from an adult sample to registered voters on the same survey?
