October 2, 2012 Poll Shows Slim Obama Lead As Debates Begin, President Gains With Hispanic Voters, Romney With Men

BY NEIL KING JR. AND DANNY YADRON

President Barack Obama heads into the first presidential debate with a narrow lead over Mitt Romney in a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News nationwide poll that illustrates each candidate's strengths and weaknesses entering the campaign's final stretch.

The survey shows the race tightening, with Mr. Obama now leading 49% to 46% among likely voters, down slightly from the five-point lead he enjoyed in mid-September, just after the two parties' conventions. The survey of likely voters had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

I guess it would be “rasis” to call him Slim.

I’ve been called a number of times for polls and I just won’t give out any info for several reasons.

First, I don’t think any media outlet gives a putz about conservative views.

Second, I’m not giving them info they will make money off of only to mock me later.

Third, polls are as corrupt as anything else liberals have touched and I’m not giving the enemy any insights. I want to be stealthy and underestimated.

I wonder if there aren’t many other conservatives feeling the same way. Anyway, nobody believes polls anymore.

Useless poll....this race is perhaps tied or Romney slightly ahead.

The turn out has to be pushed by conservatives hard....Our country depends upon it

As we get closer to the election, more Americans will wake up. A ‘frying pan to the face’ kind of epiphany.
