I would guess that you might see similar support for a proposal to take away tax refunds for people who don't pay taxes.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Thank you for your attention to this matter - UNI88

I don't like Obama, but as of today, Romney has no chance. None.
You're apparently basing that off of Quinnipiac, and apparently you missed this part: "Over sampling of Donks by 9% in Ohio, 8% in Florida, and 6% in Pennsylvania."
I'm not a pollster, but do you realize that if registered voters are 9, 8 or 6 % higher in Dems than Reps, then that's how they'll poll? It's a social science, they don't just randomly call people.

But the poll was likely voters not registered voters. And I believe when they do likely they try to look at history to get a feel for the correct balance. Florida in 2008 was D+3 and it was even in 2010. D+9 is a joke.

If that's the case then I agree with you, it's a joke. I just didn't see anywhere that that was taken into account.
