Six ways to poll (survey) the population and the Progressive Dems prefer all five . . . .

Last week’s Democratic National Convention helped President Obama improve his standing against Republican Mitt Romney, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, but did little to reduce voter concern about his handling of the economy.

The survey shows that the race remains close among likely voters, with Obama at 49 percent and Romney at 48 percent, virtually unchanged from a poll taken just before the conventions.

But among a wider sample of all registered voters, Obama holds an apparent edge, topping Romney at 50 percent to 44 percent, and has clear advantages on important issues in the campaign when compared with his rival. . . . . (Source: here at the Washington Post). 

Editor’s notes:  indeed,  Obama has energized his base,  somewhat;  enough to drive them to the voting booth on November 6?  Maybe not. 

Look,  there are several ways a Progressive can represent polling data;  one is to simply lie about the results,  a strategy that used far and wide within the Democrat Cabal.  Secondly,  they can survey more Democrats than Republicans,  something that is done in 90% of all Progressive polling.  Third,  they can survey the population in general,  by asking whoever picks up the phone,  “Do you prefer Obama or Romney  . . .  you may win a prize if you say ‘Obama’ “  Fourth,  ditto the above but without the bribe.  Fifth,  They can survey “registered voters,”  another insidious polling strategy,  one that is similar to polling the general population.  Understand that 40% of “registered voters”  do not vote.  Finally,  they can be half way honest and survey “likely voters” in nominally equal numbers. 

The Washington Post presents two of these alternatives.  In the first,  ;ikely voters,  Obama and Romney are in a virtual tie . . . . . . before and after the national conventions.  In the other, "registered voters,"   Obama has a lead.  What the reader may not know is that Obama has held a lead with “registered voters” in nearly all the polls,  to date.  This is not a new development nor one that has been created because of the conventions. 

In the end,  and per a Left Wing,  Progressive rag (the Post),  there is no more a bounce for Obama among the people who count and are counted,  than there was for Romney, unless you want to count the 11 point surge of Independents for Romney,  after the RNC. 

Point of post:  if you are conservative and worried,  it is far to early to get worried.  Is Romney what we prefer?  Nope,  but he has proven that he is more conservative than in times past.  Let’s not forget that conservatives are driving the GOP and we will not vote in the midterms if the GOP returns to their evil,  compromising ways  . . . . . . . .  but I think the McRINO’S know this.
