Obama dropping like a stone in all NC polls

[candelovsky]

I give you the polls released today, comparing the margin with the next-most-recent poll.

Survey USA
Obama +5 (+9)

Rasmussen
Obama +14 (+21)

PPP
Obama +12 (+25)

This is not good at all for Obama.

[featherman]

1. "A week is a lifetime in politics"

[Rosa Luxemburg]

6. Oh yes!

look out there'a a Tsunami coming!

[smalll]

17. A tsunami of Obuyers' Remorse! /nt

[datopbanana]

58. Can't tell if this was joke or not.

But just in case you were serious...

Voters in NC haven't bought (voted) anything yet so they can't feel remorseful.

That's just an FYI in case you want to stop sounding foolish.

[backscatter712]

2. I'll bet they rebound now that Obama's properly spoken up about this.

[RazBerryBeret]

3. he will come back stronger.

in less than a week.

[Swamp Rat]

7. That's what has happened every time they pulled this BS before.

Obama comes back stronger. :)

[here_is_to_hope]

41. Swamp Rat...ALL TIME GREATEST EVER PERIOD SERIES!!11!!!

I fell out of my chair.
IFOOMC!

[Swamp Rat]

42. Thanks

Have an MXR Distortion+ pedal. :D

[FrenchieCat]

4. Thank you for your concern.

Links are always good here at DU.

BTW, Welcome!

[FlyingSquirrel]

13. You mean, "welcome back" right?

[MattNC]

5. Rasmussen/PPP

Their polls were obviously outliers. The president of PPP all but admitted so the other day when discussing the discrepancy in their polls over the last two weeks. Still, Clinton has indeed gained some ground; it's just a case of how much.

[SoCalDem]

23. and they forgot ARG (pirate pollsters)

and OMG.. what about FOX's poll ?

:rofl:

[Danger Mouse]

8. brains!

[hokies4ever]

9. Hillary's despicable campaign

plus her campaign's negative push-polling in North Carolina.

[Perry Logan]

49. "Hillary's despicable campaign" is an Obamite myth. Obama has created his own fuck-ups...

...and then blamed them on Hillary. Classic Rovean tactics.

[rodeodance]

55. Blame Hillary for Obama's problems. Figures!!

[scheming daemons]

10. Continuous media assault and.... he's still up by avg of 10? AWESOME!

President Obama.

[Gore1FL]

11. Anything over -10 is good for Obama

[hokies4ever]

12. The late-breakers this primary season

have been breaking toward Clinton, so no real surprise here that more of the 'undecideds' are breaking to Hillary. Seriously though, who actually believes that they were completely undecided. They were just trying to convince others that they were completely open-minded.

[NotThisTime]

48. Previous polls had an undecided total of 25%, no longer the case n/t

[Aloha Spirit]

14. So... how does everybody think turnout will be in NC? I think some demographics will be more

motivated than others....

Also, I like how in the SUSA poll of people who already voted, Obama is really far ahead.
But that happened in Texas too, I recall.

[MattNC]

16. that's the key

Most polls have black turnout at 33%. If their forecast is accurate, then I'm sure their predictions of the pop. vote total will be roughly right. If it hits closer to 40% as some think it will, he'll exceed expectations. FWIW, black voter registration in the state has skyrocketed.

[Aloha Spirit]

18. Agreed... that's what my eyes are trained on.

[gateley]

20. I'm a middle aged white woman

and I'll be front and center voting for Obama. Clayton, NC

[Aloha Spirit]

22. did you hear about early one-stop absentee voting?

For Clayton, I think it's until this Friday:
April 22 - May 3
Tue. - Fri. (12:00pm - 7:00pm)
Sat. (9:00am - 1:00pm)

1. Cleveland Fire Department
9039 Cleveland Rd., Clayton

2. Church at Clayton Crossing
11407 US Highway 70 West, Clayton

Got it from this site

[MattNC]

24. I actually prefer

waiting 'til election day. there's a certain nostalgia to it.

[Aloha Spirit]

27. Ha... I guess. I'm just really impressed with the one-stop early voting initiative. Was curious how

it's playing out in NC.

[MattNC]

32. it's very popular

convenient for a lot of people i know who would otherwise be worried about having time to vote.

[littlebit]

64. It has been very convenient

for me. I voted last week.

[gateley]

35. Thanks -- yeah, I'd checked it out,

but I'm leaning toward going on THE day. I live right next door (walk in 2 minutes) and I'd like to see how the turnout is.

Plus, say "no thank you!" to the people handing out helpful "how to vote a conservative ticket" crap.

Last election I was so pissed that I was approached with this stuff, when I came home I called the election board to rat on them, but found out it was legal.

Do you think early voting is preferable? If so, how come? How does it help my candidate? Thanks - still time to change my mind. :hi:

[Hepburn]

15. Bullshit....

...the Clinton News Network, CNN, just stated that Obama is ahead of Hilly by 10 pts.

:eyes: Pls, dream on.....

[Forkboy]

19. You got one more for the night before you need your next sockpuppet for tomorrow.

Try to at least make it entertaining.

[ClericJohnPreston]

26. Do you call everyone a sockpuppet?

Is that all you have?

[Forkboy]

31. I didn't call you one, but I already told you what I meant, so you're just being ignorant on purpose

This one comes back every night, night after night, week after week. Defend him if you want. It just makes you look even more insipid than you're already looking.

[ClericJohnPreston]

39. Do you need a dictionary as well

Insipid has been used improperly. Then again, watching you label someone else ignorant is unintentional humor at its finest.

[Moochy]

45. Hooray for The OP's Welcoming Party!

Insipid though it may be.

"lacking in qualities that interest, stimulate, or challenge"

[Forkboy]

46. Guess again. "Insipid" fits you very, very well.

2 : lacking in qualities that interest, stimulate, or challenge.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/insipid

So, do YOU need a dictionary? Looks like that ignorant tag might apply to you along with the insipid one.

Thanks for playing. :hi:

[JackORoses]

25. nice post count, candelabra

what was your name in your previous life here, my undear zombie?

[rodeodance]

52. It would be nice to say welcome rather than name call "zombie".

[Moochy]

28. Wheee

[Swamp Rat]

29. CyberPieHole!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

30. Speaking of a stone dropping ...

soon.

[Tribetime]

33. Now that was good

[madrchsod]

34. sure is`t

i wonder how he`s going to beat big john with these numbers...dam it does`t look good does it

[Secret_Society]

36. Ya know what Hillary will say on May 6th?

The same thing Obama did on April 22nd. "Our goal was to make it competitive. In only two weeks (not six) we came back from a 25 point deficit." (plus she'll have a win in Indiana to boot)

[rodeodance]

57. I think Obama was overconfident regarding NC. He did show up there

yesterday I see. But, we will see. Hillary has made inroads with white males in NC.

[Yael]

37. Welcome (back) to DU

:hi:

[swishyfeet]

38. If it weren't such a lame thread I'd bookmark it for some laughs next week

[Condem]

40. Proud2be

Back, again. Only 3 threads, friend. Make em count!

[On the Road]

43. It Has Nothing to Do with the Nomination

Clinton can win all the primaries and it won't win her the nomination.

It MIGHT be the sign of a crippled nominee. That may please Clinton, but it horrifies me. And having done that will cost Clinton the nomination in 2012 as well.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

44. republicans tend to vote on election day, democrats vote early.

Just like with the caucuses etc, Hillary and her supporters don't know
the rules.

we've been voting for quite some time, so the polls don't matter

[Secret_Society]

47. If this rate of decline continues...

HRC should be able to keep it within ten. Possibly under 5.

[rox63]

50. Races always tighten up as the date gets closer

I predict a double-digit win for Obama in NC.

[mmonk]

54. Exactly.

Considering all the coverage and the smears by the NC GOP, not too bad. Also given that he has a 30%+ margin in the early voting, Clinton already has a lot of ground to make up.

[futureliveshere]

51. Lets see in the next few days after the presser!!

[rodeodance]

53. Welcome to DU and thanks for the post.

[Jersey Devil]

56. re-*PLONK*

[RBInMaine]

59. There is always some tightening as elections get closer. Relax.

[onenote]

60. there actually was an uptick for Obama yesterday

The average of the polling data indicates a bottoming out on the 28th and a slight uptick yesterday. The next couple of days will indicate whether the race has stabilized or not.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/nc/north_carolina_democratic_primary-275.html

[Alii]

61. Barack Obama will win by double digits in NC.

And, double digits does not mean 9.2, more like 15.

In Indiana, a small single digit win.

The pleasingly plump lady is getting very anxious to sing...a little help here please.

[greguganus]

62. I've been in NC all my life and haven't heard of anyone I know switching to Hillary.

The pollsters must be asking something like "Would you vote for Hillary Clinton if she was the only person running for president and if you refused to do so your eyes would be pecked out by buzzards?"

[LTR]

63. Enjoy your brick

Dick.

[Eurobabe]

65. Damn I didn't even have a chance to stone you!!

TS'd ALREADY thanks MODS :bounce:
