Default 47% Expect GOP to Win White House...

Interesting polling #'s. It's ironic but Obama seems determined to do everything he can to alienate Americans and lose the election.

Voters right now give the edge to Republicans when asked which political party is likely to win the White House and control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate in next November’s elections. Republicans are more confident about their party’s chances than Democrats are, but a lot of voters are undecided.



The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 47% of Likely U.S. Voters think the Republican candidate is most likely to beat President Obama, while 39% expect the incumbent to win reelection. Fourteen percent (14%) are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.)...
Here's a link to the complete story.

well, it's no secret which direction I lean to. I expect republican victories across the board...gaining seats in the House, taking control in the SEnate by a narrow margin, and taking back the White House.

That being said, I EXPECT the newly elected Republican majority to be as ruthless and demeaning to demokrats as has been demonstrated in the last 3 years. Further, I expect a full dis-assembly of this disgusting administration's efforts to be completed by the time the mid-term elections are held in 2014.

There are those who are predicting that Biden will be appointed Secretary of State, with Hitlery Klinton getting the nod for crap-in-a-suit's Veep. JUst wanna remind those who might have forgotten; she's as disgusting a slob as Barry, when it comes to government giveaways, 'One World' Government, Ceding control to the U.N., and class warfare. She's no Bubba....to be sure, she's as radical as O'bammy, having sought after and worked for Saul Alinsky. A word to the wise...eyes on the prize....

Oh, so you are now saying Clinton really didn't win the presidency since he only had 43% of the vote.

Now I'm curious. Exactly how does 47% mean a loss?

It all comes down to electoral votes. More than one president has won the Presidency with less than 50% of the popular vote.

We use a modified democracy after all, and that means the popular vote does not necessarily rule all. Well, we have what is called a Republic based upon the idea of democracy.

We actually have the best of all worlds when you think about it. Our government is a republic that is designed to protect minorities and has democratic principles so that the people get to say how to run the government. In theory at least.

Yeah...until demokrats get a majority, at which time the constitution gets magically transformed into a roll of ScottTissue ...
