Of course, these are just fun non-scientific polls.

UPDATE: Nov 7th, 2012!

The poll has closed! allnurses.com members have called the presidential elections 3 times in a row correctly! Please carry on your Political Discussions in our Nursing Breakroom US Politics forum!

Obama, mainly because of SCOTUS appointments. I would never vote for Romney or Ryan - they're both buffoons. Republicans are in trouble, given the changing demographics of the US. It will be interesting to see how the party tries to adapt to this change over the next few years/decades. Nate Silver (statistician) of fivethirtyeight has Obama at 90% chance of winning. Basically, if Romney doesn't win Ohio, he's out. All polling indicates Obama should win Ohio. I'm still nervous though, because polling bias can happen... ugh. Although, the likelihood that it's bias in the polls is pretty small, given that fivethirtyeight collapses all the polls together. We'll see...

I personally think it's disrespectful to refer to our president as a "moron" look at the republican party, stop watching fox news for a minute and you'll see how many bills the republican party has filibuster. We sent them to Washington to work for us, instead they went there and work for their personal agendas. It's good to be informed from a good source and not an ignorant one. For the first time we have equal pay right for women, we have a Latina in the supreme court, don't ask don't tell repeal, preexisting conditions covered, Detroit didn't not go bankrupt and Osama Bin Laden DEAD. Imagine how much more could have been done had the republicans look beyond his color!

Educate yourself, read an article, listen to NPR( national public radio) do yourself a favor stop voting against yourself, your future and stop the hate it's just so ugly other countries are watching.

AMEN!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012 :up:

It has already been confirmed that the house senates whom majority are republican purposefully denied majority of Obama bills to make it look like he has done nothing for the economy n to make sure he is no re-elected. Not only do we need to vote for Obama but also the senates need to be democrats. It's quite sad that it had came to this. Let's not look at the color of skin. Yes are partially agree this election is race related. Esp when Romney released a commercial in Ohio persuading blacks to vote republicans because Lincoln freed the slaves. Insulting and disrespectful to blacks

Obviously we do not have the same opinion on the right candidate and that is OK. But here is a little of my story and why I would never vote for Obama....My husband ran a VERY successful business for almost 10 years. He built it from the ground up with no loans, grants, or any assistance. He worked hard everyday and earned every penny. Obama took office and his business plummeted. Gas prices sky-rocketed, his small business taxes increased almost 25%, insurances increased by 20%, and equipment cost rose about 15%. He closed his business at the end of 2010. Then to top it all off, I received a 3% pay cut, then a 13% increase in taxes, and a wage freeze for two years. All of this because of his policies. My family was middle-class just three years ago, and now we are poverty level. This had nothing to do with bad business practices or financial mess ups on our part either. This is a direct response to Obama making the middle-class pay more. You have your reasons and I have mine. If you had everything you worked so hard for taken away, you would probably feel the same way I do.

I wish we could vote for "none of the above" and then be given a new slate of candidates. Somehow I get the feeling nobody would ever win that way though.

Not A Nurse Yet But. OBAMA/BIDEN 2012

I Would Never Vote For Someone That Says he can relate to me because his ANCESTORS once owned SLAVES.

I seriously hope that's not your only reasoning for whom you select to be president of this country. I wish everyone would be informed of stances and select the candidate whose views more closely match their own. Not just because of who the person's ancestors were or a single quote.

Single quote: "...no I don't think the government should be responsible for the 48%". Women's fair & equal pay:"binder full of women"....of course its not word for word but those are some powerful single quotes from Romney
