NBC/WSJ poll: Negative campaign takes toll on candidates; Obama up six points - First Read
The internals of this poll are revealing. 46% are Democrats and 35% are Republicans. At the height of Obama fever in 2008 the polls had a split favoring Democrats by 7%, and now, after 3 years of economic suffering, somehow the split is favoring Democrats by 11%?
Note that in a poll with 11% more Democrats than Republicans Obama leads by only 6%. Moreover, Obamacare gets only 40% favorable in a poll with 46% Democrats.
Why are they putting a poll out that can be debunked in about 5 seconds?
