Poll: Romney preferred over Obama to handle the economy

48. That makes two of us

My reaction to these poll numbers: Yeah, right, tell me another one.

I got my BA degree in Public Relations from a university that had (and probably still has) a very respectable PR program. PR is all about molding public opinion, of course, and polls -- fake polls to be more specific -- are one of the "tools of the trade". There are many ways to get the numbers you want, not necessarily the numbers that accurately reflect the situation. An ally or somebody who Romney campaign may have slipped a cool million to could easily come out with a poll like this. Polling companies are in it for the money most often. Be suspicious of all polls that don't have multiple sources that generally support the same numbers. I wonder what the margin of error is on this particular poll? Did they publish that?
