RUSH: Okay. Gallup has just released their latest Trial Run Poll with registered voters. Presidential election: Romney 47, Obama 45. I\u2019ve got this new app I picked up on the iPhone over the weekend. It\u2019s a poll tracker. Every poll in the world, I got a notification alert. And this Gallup poll has been consistent for two or three days. And, folks, you know me: I don\u2019t rely on polling at all. I think polling is used to shape opinion rather than reflect it. I think polling is used to make news, and particularly as you get closer to the election they become more relevant.<\/p>\n

A poll in March or April is worthless, \u2019cause the election\u2019s not in March or April. Too much is yet to happen. But you can, if you want to study them, detect trends. And in swing states, Romney and Ryan are gaining ground. In some places, it\u2019s small, but it\u2019s perceptible. I just get the sense there\u2019s something happening out there. And I, frankly, have been of the opinion that…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And I\u2019ve been very careful saying this, but you\u2019ve heard me say it. If the election were held today, I think we\u2019re looking at a landslide. I thought that a week ago. I think this is big. I don\u2019t want to say this too often because political situations are too volatile, as the Akin thing<\/a> illustrates. But they are not looking happy. Obama isn\u2019t looking happy. Nobody on the Democrat side\u2019s looking happy. These people are at war with each other, and they\u2019re getting — if it\u2019s even possible — more maniacal in their TV appearances.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re saying some of the craziest, wackiest things. The Akin thing\u2019s unfortunate, but I\u2019m gonna tell you. I think the Democrats are… I don\u2019t want to say this too loud either because I don\u2019t want to affect what their inclinations are. But I think they\u2019re set to implode over this. You know, they have these hot button, boilerplate issues that cause them to go to page two of their playbook that\u2019s 30 years old, and they put plans into motion that just are not relevant.<\/p>\n

They live in a bubble.<\/p>\n

They lie to themselves about their own popularity. They fall for it because the media creates a false impression of just how many people do support Democrats and liberals in this country. I just have a sneaking suspicion. Like, for example, nobody is showing up at Obama appearances so they say, “Oh, yeah, we\u2019re doing that on purpose! Right, we are limiting the audience size so the president can have a more intimate event with the attendees. And we\u2019re also limiting the amount of money we raise at any one time.”<\/p>\n

That\u2019s such a crock!<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t the enthusiasm for Obama that there was, nowhere near it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
