Gravass Illinois Poll -Romney (R) 113% Obama (D) -13%

Governor Romney leads President Obama by 74 percentage points in Illinois 87 to 13 percent.

· Pennsylvania independents are breaking 8-1 for Governor Romney . 72 percent of Illinois independents say they would vote for Governor Romney, 9 percent say they would vote for President Obama and 19 percent say they are undecided.

· There is a 7 percentage point gender gap in Pennsylvania. Governor Romney leads with women by 70 percentage points, while he leads with women by 64 percentage points.

· President Obama has 64-point net negative job performance rating. 78 percent do not approve of President Obama’s performance, while 14 percent approve.


For those not in on the joke I offer you this:


Left-wing bloggers and activists declared war on an independent pollster, who dared to pick up on Romney’s positive momentum, both nationally and in the states.

“I don’t run fake polls,” said Douglas J. Kaplan, who owns Winter Springs, Fla.-based Gravis Marketing, and who has been polling and releasing polls on the presidential election.

“It is ridiculous,” he said. “We have no power. We put out polls.”

...

On the progressive website DemocraticUnderground.com, “DemocratSinceBirth” posted the following Sept. 27 in the article “This Gravis Marketing Clown Is A Real Piece Of Work”: “He puts out a bunch of Republican leaning polls in the swing states and then puts out a poll for Washington that shows the president with a huge lead. Of course Washington isn’t a swing state and has never been seriously contested by Romney.”

I'm kind of impressed I have become a "left wing blogger".

I don't believe any of this crap.

I voted today, in North Ga.

I have never seen so many Republican incumbents~ with, tah dah....WRITE INS! WTH was that??

IF you didn't KNOW who your Democrats were, you COULDN'T Wrtie them in!

I had a tough time with it, I can't imagine what the seniors, or younger folks are going to do.

Well, my daughter and I voted for "We The People", the OBAMA/BIDEN ticket and know many more who are
also voting this party.

It's not over until the Fat Lady sings, and I'm not hearing the intro....

If the autosearch function is down you can google Democratic Underground, Gravis Marketing or Gravis Marketing Human Events. Yours truly is even mentioned in an article at Human Events:

On the progressive website DemocraticUnderground.com, “DemocratSinceBirth” posted the following Sept. 27 in the article “This Gravis Marketing Clown Is A Real Piece Of Work”: “He puts out a bunch of Republican leaning polls in the swing states and then puts out a poll for Washington that shows the president with a huge lead.

I won't wait for an apology. After all it was my post that led to grantcart's mission.

Once the muppet vote and the gangnam style dancer votes are brought into these polls, I feel that Obama's poll could surge past Romney who is relatively short here.
