3. Good news, but it's still too early to put too much hope/despair into any poll like this.

But, since the consensus opinion seems to be that Obama will pull ahead once Romney is nominated, this is good news.

5. Yeah, IPSOS website is playing games...

Updated now.

6. Thanks

It doesn't specify and seems not to be "likely" voters, but rather random individuals. These are good at judging the mood in the country, but necessarily the actual voting community preferences. I think Obama may have a bit more of a lead with likely voters, but that is just my personal speculation.

8. It is saying registered voters

So better than random individuals but not as accurate as likely voters.

"Mitt Romney is also the strongest performer in hypothetical matchups against President Obama
among registered voters."

11. AHHH thank you for that!!!

I read through it and missed that nugget. Registered voters is still not "likely" voters which from my experience is closer to the real election happening "at this point". I still think Obama is even higher. That may get closer as the election nears, but really I don't see any of the current candidates being able to withstand the campaign against Obama especially after they have soiled themselves so much.

12. They might as well just pack themselves into the clown car and ride off into the sunset.

They just don't get it. They're [big]rethuglicans[/big] fer crisakes.

People are sick and tired of their bullshit and the next election will prove it.
