Rasmussen: Obama leads Romney in key swing states
The Hill ^ | April 6, 2012 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 04/06/2012 4:21:57 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

President Obama leads Mitt Romney in four states that will be critical in determining the outcome of the 2012 election, according to a survey from conservative polling outlet Rasmussen released on Friday.

Obama leads Romney 47 percent to 44 percent in combined polling from Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.

The poll has a 4.5 percent margin of error.

Obama will need to win about half of the electoral votes provided by Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and New Hampshire, if he is to secure a second term.

How many attack Ads have been placed against Obama recently?

Just wait till the GOP primaries are over.

Translation: Obama has no hope of winning a second term presently.

He is polling below 50 percent as an incumbent

Undecided is 75% opposed to Obama

Rest assured the hill and every other partisan knows this.

A political race of the two parties’ front-runner liberals. I’m guessing the Republican liberal will be tempted to move further left in an effort to beat his opponent.

Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the same number of anti-0bama0 attack adds throughout the campaign, at least from the Romney camp.

The Romney camp want to look like they’re playing nice. Especially if you challenge chowder-head 0bamarx directly, you’ll be called a “racist”.

Romney likes to use subterfuge and leaks. Keeps his hands clean while dirtying the competition.

Gotta admit, it may be the most effective technique against 0bama’s race-card trump.

...according to a survey from conservative polling outlet Rasmussen released on Friday...

All others are "liberal" polling outlets but it's not stated by the MSM.

Until the deal 0bummer made with allies kicks in and several nations dump a lot of their oil reserves prior to the election.

Some people consider Rasmussen the Holy Grail of posters.

Rasmussen completely missed the Republican take-over of the US House in 2010, and patriots taking over 26 state legislatures.

Old Ras’ is another rat hack juggling the numbers for his buddy obuma.

Oh, I fully agree.

But Mittens has something going for him that Juan McPain didn’t

Mittens uses the back door. He lets others do his dirty work for him with leaks and rumors.

He gets to act as “surprised” as everyone else, when the damage is done.

He’s been doing it throughout the primaries.

yes, during Obama’s election, Soros & Co., made sure gas would skyrocket before and in the very month of the election.

They will do the reverse this time.

I would dump futures now. Every witch is a risk. We don't and can't know when they are going to drive the price to ‘Obama gets elected’ levels. But they will. They always do.

The problem is if Obama starts a war before the election. He has been Great at starting wars. He is very likely to do this, and if he does, all bets are off in terms of oil futures.

this is why its so destructive for supposed "patriots" to be continuing to slap at Romney instead of slapping bamey boy....

like it or not....and I don't like it....if we want to crush bamey boy, we'll have to support Romney...

I know...I know..."I'll never vote for that so and so Romney ever!".....

so enjoy your last few years before bamey boy declares a national crisis and becomes dictator for life....

all those millions of rounds of ammo bought by Homeland security....bamey won't waste them on foreign terrorists...
