In 1980, Democratic president Jimmy Carter faced an uphill struggle for re-election. Yet, despite an index of inflation and unemployment far higher than Obama’s, he was actually doing slightly better in the polls. In March of that year, Carter led his Republican opponent, Ronald Reagan, by around 25 per cent. By May, Gallup gave him a lead of 49 to 41 per cent – higher than Obama’s today. Carter’s advantage evaporated in the months that followed, but he regained ground in October and by the last week he was running even. None the less, Carter eventually suffered a landslide defeat. So much for the lunatic polls. I highly recommend ignoring them when you know better. When the economy is in the shitter, unemployment is in the stratosphere and everything the President says or does pisses off normal moderate people because of his continuou race baiting, culture wars and class wars, with him personally taking a role in dividing our country, and yet the polls say he is doing fine...don't believe it.

Inode, from the column: That’s happening again in 2012, as polls indicate that far more Americans think Obama is too Left-wing than believe Romney is too Right-wing. This is perhaps Mitt Romney's key to victory. All he has to do is stick to that theme and let Obama's true leftist colors shine through. Obama, the Democrats, and the media will throw all the mud at Romney as possible and blame the GOP super-PACs for it. But I believe Romney can stay above that mess. Even his record at Bain Capital is withstanding an incredible onslaught of negativity. Even still, this will be a very close election, which will be reflective of the divisive tone of this nation.
