Unscientific just for random discussion Poll questions:
Should the next Epic Rap Battles in History contest be between Vermin (A pony for every American) Supreme & Jimmy (The Rent is Too Damn High) McMillan?
Do the 2012 primary results in Iowa & New Hampshire change who you support for President?
Do you think the effect of the negative ads is being overhyped by the media who sells them?
You can put yes or no on the comments section below this article or on the post on facebook, along with other comments.
Every other pundit, even conservative ones like Rush Limbaugh, have been focused on the effect of negative ads, while paying little attention to political stances on issues. Didn’t Perry lose support after his "heartless” comment regarding illegal aliens? Is the path to legal status plan by Gingrich the reason he has not been able to win? Hasn’t it been Romney’s stance on man-made climate change, his past stance on abortion, and other changes in his governing record that has kept him from dominating the nomination process? Are Santorum and Paul doing far better than the pollsters claim because they have not supported a path to legal status or climate change?
If Reuters, Luntz, Zogby, or other polling firms had any integrity, they would be asking what influences likely voters to support or oppose candidates and having voting record, business record, and undecided as options. Sadly, they care more about their political influence and ratings over informing the public. The media would have you care more about the 1st poll question than the 2nd or 3rd.
Just like the Iowa 2012 surprise, there will likely be a last minute “surge” by conservative candidates, which will really be the pollsters hiding their bias. Don’t let them get away with it! Post legislation passed by candidates. Show examples of how the pundits/pollsters slanted left on a candidate/issue. Call, write, & post to/about the media to get voters to focus on voting & business records instead of ads & sound-bites.
