Politisite Political Projections – Electoral College – 2012
Politisite Political Projections – Electoral College – 2012 By Albert N. Milliron Methodology: Politisite Political Projections takes in to consideration many factors when utilizing a particular poll for our model. We weigh polls differently based on their previous general election accuracy. We toss polls that have a Margin of Error (MoE) that exceeds +/-5%. We further take in to consideration the pollsters assumptions of the makeup of the electorate by considering the average PVI for the State polled. Some pollsters continue to use a model that reflects party affiliation of the 2008 election. According to Gallup the make-up of the electorate, nationally at least, has changed from a D+11 to a nearly even distribution between Democrats and Republicans in 2012. [...]
If Mitt Romney Wins, What Happens Next?
If Mitt Romney Wins, What Happens Next? by Kevin Williams, Fear of a Black Republican What happens after this Tuesday is something we all should be thinking about before and after filling out our ballot for this $2 Billion Dollar Presidential Election. It is increasingly likely that Governor Mitt Romney will win, in the opinion of this writer and in full disclosure, Romney voter. But, as we near the day of reckoning, I want to pose the question of… what happens next? Especially if Governor Mitt Romney defeats President Barack Obama. After spending since late 2004 researching, studying and producing a film entitled FEAR OF A BLACK REPUBLICAN and then trying to get it out into the World, we have learned a lot about our political system, the Two-Party System, Media Power and [...]
Flips for Mitt – New York Daily News endorses Romney for president
America’s heart, soul, brains and muscle — the middle- and working-class people who make this nation great — have been beset for too long by sapping economic decline. So, too, New York breadwinners and families. Paychecks are shrunken after more than a decade in which the workplace has asked more of wage earners and rewarded them less. The decline has knocked someone at the midpoint of the salary scale back to where he or she would have been in 1996. Then, the subway fare, still paid by token, was $1.50, gasoline was $1.23 a gallon and the median rent for a stabilized apartment was $600 a month. Today, the base MetroCard subway fare is $2.25, gasoline is in the $3.90 range and the median stabilized rent is $1,050, with all the increases outpacing wage growth. A crisis of [...]
Why I endorse Mitt Romney
By Karl Gotthardt With polls across the nation opening in less than 48 hours, the majority of US citizens have already decided who to vote for. A small percentage of undecided's remain. Polls can be skewed based on the model used to interpret results. Most pollsters predict a tight race, where possibly the result will not be known until early Wednesday morning. Be that as it may, there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that what they have seen over the past four years has been nothing short of disaster. Given President Obama's record, the question in most people's mind should be, "Why would we given him four more years with the same policies? speaking at CPAC in Washington D.C. on February 11, 2011.

Unlikely Romney will win Nevada – early voting Democrats have 50K lead
UPDATE: Statewide totals in. 700,000-plus have voted already. Doubt more than 1 million in all will vote. Democrats have a 48,000-vote lead. A remarkable effort on the last day of early voting in Clark County by the Democrats pushed their lead above the 70,000 mark while another close day in Washoe left that county essentially even. I will dive deeper into the numbers for premium subscribers Sunday, but bottom line: The credible polls on both sides would have to be wrong -- i.e. Romney would have to win independents by a large margin -- for him to win Nevada. This is why registration matters, folks. That 90,000-voter lead for the Democrats could save them from a devastated economy and the president's negatives. Team Romney's spin has been that GOP turnout is up from '08 (it is, but [...]
Pew: The Obama Thrill is Gone for Mainstream Media, MSNBC has 71% anti-Romney Coverage
From the conventions to the eve of the final presidential debate, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have both received more negative than positive coverage from the news media, though overall Obama has had an edge, according to a new study. That advantage for Obama, however, disappeared after the debates began in early October and news coverage shifted in Romney's direction, mirroring the momentum change reflected in many public opinion polls, the study by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism found. Overall from August 27 through October 21, 19% of stories about Obama studied in a cross section of mainstream media were clearly favorable in tone while 30% were unfavorable and 51% mixed. This is a differential of 11 percentage points between unfavorable and [...]
Romney beats Obama, handily
Probably one of the greatest minds in County to County, District to District, State to State Politics, Michael Barone, has put his reputation on the line. He believes Mitt Romney will beat President Obama Handily. You can also see our Politisite Political Projections in comparison. Fundamentals usually prevail in American elections. That's bad news for Barack Obama. True, Americans want to think well of their presidents and many think it would be bad if Americans were perceived as rejecting the first black president. But it's also true that most voters oppose Obama's major policies and consider unsatisfactory the very sluggish economic recovery -- Friday's jobs report showed an unemployment uptick. Also, both national and target state polls show that independents, voters who [...]
