The Hill ^ | June 30, 2012 | Meghashyam Mali

President Obama is leading Mitt Romney thanks to a bump from last Thursday's high court healthcare ruling, according to a survey released Saturday from conservative polling outlet Rasmussen.

Rasmussen's latest daily presidential tracking poll finds Obama with 46 percent support from likely voters to Romney's 44.

That bump will not last.

However, if far more people of this nation do not turn back to God...we may end up with Obama again....and they will have to learn the hard way.

This will affect everyone....but God WILL sustain His people.

Obama has been creeping up in almost every poll for about the last 10 days or so. Yes the weekends, good weather & holidays ALWAYS work against the republican when polling, but this Obama trend has been there before the Roberts ruling & the summer holidays.

Part of this issue is demographics. Obama owns the black & hispanic vote. And, believe it or not, the asian vote. These 3 groups now make up about 37% of the U.S. population. It’s a different elction map for the GOP in 2012. I still think Romney can/will win this election, but it’s not going to be easy.

But Freepers says I'll never vote Romney because there's no difference between him and Obama.

If Romney, wins, and I think it's a long shot, it'll be very close.

Any who doesn't vote for Romney really is a co-conspirator with Democrats and the Obama regime and absolutely responsible for what's happening and what will happen in the second term.

Yup....there is an Obama trend in most every poll of the past 10 days. And this poll we are talking about is the best one out there. This is not good news. Romney needs to be very aggressive every day.

As I said Thurs (and was creamed for it), people love court rulings, they have respect for the courts.

And since the SC said it was constitutional then folks will say Obamacare is A-Ok.

The tax argument's will not fly since most American also think it is A-Ok to tax for such “good things”.

And years from now when it all fails, the public will be told the fault lies with Republicans, business, hospitals, Drs, Insurance, or big Pharma.

They will NEVER be told that big gov is too blame, and will vote in Dems who will fix it with compassion.

Same old, same old.

The word TAX needs to be in every Republican commercial right after the words IRS. That will do a lot!

At this point, June 2012, 3+ years after The One got elected, there are three kind of people. (1) Those who oppose him, (2) Those who originally supported him but realized their mistake and now oppose him, and (3) evil stupid pieces of shit.

So, in all reality, the SCOTUS ruling would only possible affect the dumbest of category (2). And in all reality, that’s very very few people.

I have a hard time believing that the SCOTUS decision had any affect at all.

Welcome to Greece

Don’t think so, but time will tell. I do know that Americans hate taxes and won’t react well to being told (and it WILL be news to some, unfortunately) that this is “the biggest tax increase in our history”. Especially not in these economic times. I call bogus on these polls that show a more favorable rating for Zero because of the tax. No way. Wait and see. When people aren’t out on vacation, spending time with families, and they start paying attention they will be screaming for repeal. (I’ve just read some of the House members from bipartisan districts who are saying EVERYONE in their district hates it and wants it to go away.) I’m betting there are more like that than not. Sure, Pelosi’s district may be hyperventilating with excitement, but would anyone really expect anything different from that arena?

Agreed on that. Those who have always supported him and are die-hard Kool-Aid drinkers and true Zero worshipers will lie to pollsters if needed, to make it appear that more people love their hero. (Remember, these people have NO problem lying, cheating, whatever — if it serves their ends and their god!) Thankfully, that’s still not the majority of Americans.

So you sit around looking for polling data to make you feel good?

Hey, people! Welcome to an election! There hasn’t been a single one where you got polling data that gave you what you wanted the while damn time!

Check 1980, or 1994. It ebbs and flows!

GROW A PAIR AND ROLL WITH IT.

“Any, who doesn’t vote for Romney really is a co-conspirator with Democrats and the Obama regime and absolutely responsible for what’s happening and what will happen in the second term.”

Exactly. And while they are protesting, nobody is so stupid so as not to see the obvious, as you stated it. The primaries are over, now the only choice is Obama or Romney.

Anyone who is enabling an Obama re-election, when he is on a clear path to destroy freedom and the US, is NO conservative. Period.

I spotted at least 3 gas stations selling regular for $3.33 today (upstate NY), if it keeps going down I am afraid Obama is going to get re-elected.

Probably due to the Saudis pumping full-out to help the American president who bowed to their king.
