In the latest ABC News/Washington Post Poll, Mitt Romney has continued his slide so that fully 50% of Americans now view the former Massachusetts governor unfavorably. He’s dropped to 61% approval among Republicans, while the President remains at 91% among Democrats. This continuing weakness among Republicans(never mind the general populace) continues to suggest that he’s on the fast-track to a loss in November. There’s a growing push among conservatives to force a brokered convention, and that may be the only hope the Republican party has to stave off electoral disaster, but more importantly the wrecking of our nation.
While I don’t always place a good deal of credence in polls, what I do tend to take from a group of polls from various sources is a sort of trend, and I think this one is dangerous. We have an “inevitable nominee” who can’t consolidate support among conservatives, and who will only manage to crawl under the wire if he manages to gain the 1144 delegates required to secure the nomination ahead of the convention. My thinking is that conservatives should stop this madness by forcing a brokered convention in order that we might have other options.
