Not really. A lot of Republicans WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES vote Democratic, which is why Democrats don't win landslide elections - that is, like Reagan in 80, 84, and even Bush I in 1988. It doesn't matter if the economy is growing at a fast clip, unemployment is down to 5%, and OBama has Bin Laden's head on a pike in the oval office - in 2012, there will be 20 states that will vote for the Republican, no matter who it is.

Yep, you nailed it exactly.

I'd add that while the Republican base won't vote Democratic under any circumstances, they won't necessarily turn out to vote at all if the GOP candidate id a dud.

In a nut shell, that's why Republicans will continue to demonize Obama and attempt to scare Republican voters out to the polls. It's just that simple.

Sure, but it wasn't a landslide. The Republicans had left the country with two wars and an economy falling over a cliff. Still, 47% of the people wanted them to stay in power. If that had been the Democrats record, Republicans would have won 40 states.

What about we elect people who are true Democrats and willing to vote for the principles the party is supposed to stand for?

Electing people because they have a D after their name allows you to organize the Senate or the House but will not advance policies unless they are willing to vote for them and preferably to fight for them by educating the public instead of groveling for a bi-partisan vote for whatever uselessly watered down compromise may be offered. Of course, if the Republicans are going to vote against positions they have sponsored recently if these are now offered by Democrats even that won't work to give the appearance of bipartisanship.

"People want leadership, Mr. President, and in the absence of genuine leadership they'll listen to anyone who steps up to the microphone." You recall that movie, don't you?

Sarah Palin gets the press she does because there is zero leadership in this country right now. Neither the President, nor the leaders of Congress are fulfilling their Constitutional duties.

As a result, America is seriously in danger of electing people whose beliefs are . . . well, unbelievable. But as long as the President continues down this road we will be facing a Palin or Huckebee or Romney or Joe the Plumber presidency.

Three years from now, the economy will surely be better and Obama will be able to weave a narrative about how he rescued the country from the disaster created by the GOP.

If 45,000 people died in plane crashes here every year I think we might get some action to stop it.

I will say this every time a PPP poll is quoted. Their methods are shoddy and their results are suspect.

They rely on robo-polls. This means both people who have caller ID on their phones and those who don't will hang up as soon as they realize no person is on the other end of the line are excluded from the sample. In polling, we say the survey suffers from self-selection bias. I can't say if this means conservative bias or progressive bias, but there is a strong bias in favor of people with WAY too much time on their hands.

Robo-polls aren't reliable. PPP does robo-polls. Serious news organizations shouldn't quote them.

Actually, robopolls have an excellent record of predicting the results of elections. People are less likely to lie to a machine if they don't feel like their answer is socially acceptable. PPP's got a decent track record.

It's just that this far out from an election, any poll asking stuff like this is meaningless for multiple reasons, regardless of methodology or method. And, unfortunately, robo polls are so cheap to do that PPP (like Rasmussen) is going to do a lot of headline-whoring polls like this one between paying gigs just to keep their name out there.

February 18, 2010 10:48 PM in reply to The Commenter Formerly Known as NCSteve

The "track record" doesn't stand up to the math of it. Self-selection bias is still a problem even if the poll later matches the results it is tracking. The famous example is the Literary Digest poll of 1936, with 4 million responses from 10 million requests mailed out. This changed the way polling was done, but some pollsters are forgetting about it. This is not unlike Toyota becoming a quality nightmare by forgetting the work of Dr. Deming, a name once revered in Japan.

You are right about polls this far away from an election. Just gas, regardless of methodology.

I think it tells you that 43% have come to hate the other side so much they'd vote for the R or D no matter what. I don't mean to put the usual false equivalency in here. There is no equivalent figure I can think of right away on the left because the kook candidates generally don't get much traction and even the worst like the other Alaskan who got into the 2008 cycle come across as eccentrics, ideologues, or identity politics niche candidates rather than as stupid. Palin is all about those identity politics and is a "know nothing" all about catering to the social mores and fears of a certain type of ethnic white people particularly in small town and rural America. Her closest equivalents like Al Sharpton on the left have tended to piss of other groups of Democrats enough that its hard to imagine them getting anything like Palin's current buzz let alone win the primary and get to 43%. Still, its hard to imagine that the worst candidate the dems could come up with could get less than 43% unless the Republican was exceptionally moderate.
