# 5 Polls are not quite all over the place

It's true.  The polls are almost all over the place.  Last two posts I included two current polls, but this weekend and today several more appeared, and I have no idea how reliable they are.  I took part in one, and found (according to those results) that slightly more than half the voters prefer Rmoney over Obama, a larger percentage think that current financial policies are not good AND that the country is not heading in the right direction.  It almost seems that, depending on the day the polls are taken, so will the results vary.

In other words, nothing can be reliable indicators either of what's really on everyone's mind, or at least of what folk will think in a little more than three months.

I'll wait until Gallup releases its most recent polling figures.  I'm part of the Gallup polling, but at least for past polls I don't seem to have much influence on the numbers.

Obama's forces need to keep the pressure on Rmoney, and ALSO propose long range ideas: i.e., that with Democratic House/Senate majorities and Democratic President, they can pass before the 2014 interim elections. It seems that neither side has made strong inroads on the independent vote or eroding any of the other side's votes. Unless something startling happens--such as Rmoney really dissing his foreign hosts as he tours England, Israel, and Poland--we seem not to be getting much movement.

What's that? He did? Fat lotta good his faux pas have done (whatever the plural of faux pas is).

I may lay off for a couple of weeks or more, until things heat up. /RPW
