The presidential race in the battleground state of Iowa remains a near tie.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Iowa Voters finds Mitt Romney with 46% support to President Obama’s 44%. Five percent (5%) prefer another candidate in the race, and six percent (6%) are undecided...

The survey of 500 Likely Voters in Iowa was conducted on August 8, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC...

That’s what I thought. NV is in terrible shape. Why would they want Odumbo back?

[Leep]

Wow,Romney has a 2% lead. Should be 20% but a win is a win..I suppose.
Go less offensive liberal/Rinos!

No way Northwest Indiana is going to switch to a Republican Congressman! Not a chance! Zero! Visclosky(D), 1st District, will be there forever. The Dems up here pay for a ridiculous Republican that has no chance to win. The demographics are also again since Gary is in the 1st. Think Detroit. No chance at all! Sorry.

“I’m sorry but the basic supposition that you can reside over the WORST ECONOMY IN MODERN US HISTORY and get re-elected is nonsense.”

FDR did.

And got re-elected, not once, not twice, but THREE times!

I admire your optimism, but Obama has “grown food stamps and welfare” so much, that many of “his people” (and I don’t just mean the black ones) no longer care about unemployment. Instead, they care about entitlements.

The election will be much closer than you predict...

MIL lives with us. Has always voted Dem. This AM she allowed as how she couldn’t vote for Obama again. She is not too plused about voting for Romney either - the Mormanism thing. Later she decided she’d ask for an absentee ballot. I’ve lived with her 10 years. That’s her out. She won’t go to the polls and she’ll “forget” to send in the absentee ballot.

I’m good with that.

“But . . . But . . .but the drive-by media says Zero in leading ...”

The drive-by media is hoping for riots in the streets when the Kenyan is slaughtered at the polls. Libtard heads are about to explode.

I wonder how many will promise to leave the country this time.

But, but, you forget...he’s going to nationalize all industry so we can be one big happy offspring of that great Government Motors creation..../s

Time for another “bus tour!” :))

To support their great Majority Leader, Senator Harry Reid..../s

If Obama does win again, it could be said he didn’t achieve victory on his own. (He has all those entitlement people to thank.)

You must be wrong, the fox poll has barry winning 17 pct of the tea partiers /s

[ncalburt]

Fox has always employed Democrats.
I recall 85 % voted for OBama .
UCLA media analysis pinpointed them as Leftists ( aka Libs)
When we lived in Tampa, my wife's FOX news buddies were all gay Leftists who all moved in their organization just like CNN ! Just look at Sheppy Smith , an outed GAY LEFTIST. FOX is a bad scam that has run its course.

[ncalburt]

Some FOX lefty was on the local radio and trying to lie about the FOX POLL disaster.
It was sad to hear the lies and excuse.

I was thinking the same thing. Historic is one of the most over used words but this election may very well be historic. We have never had a real mandate from all three branches at the same time, the closest was in 2000 but we barely won the White house, a lost 4 in the Senate to barely retain it at 50 + Chaney. So if we can win the White house and take a big majority in the Senate and house, we can start to get this country on track for our future.

Until January (or February I forget) of 2011, Fox News had partnered with Opinion Dynamics. Their polls featured more realistic numbers that usually showed Obama doing worse in approval rates than other MSM polls(except for Ras). These new polling partners more often than not use unrealistic party sample breakdowns.

You have a point but the 1940 and ‘44 elections were when we were preparing and then involved in WWII. After the blowouts of the 1936 election the Democrats were beginning to loose Senate seats. The ‘44 election with Dewey was closer than expected. At that point many people knew Roosevelt was ill and probably dying. Bambi is no Roosevelt. He has lost his “mojo”. The young will not turn out for him and the regular Dems. will not either. Not in the numbers they did in’08. It very well may be close but if Romney actually unloads on Bambi it could be a blowout. Gas is shooting up. No one in their right mind thinks anything is better. In the ‘36 election Roosevelt could point to a slightly better economy. Not much but something. He had not alienated voters like Bambi.

Conservatives keep scratching their heads about the numbers in the Fox News Poll that favors Obama. I did a litle research and found out that Fox News employs a company named “Opinion Dynamics” to actually conduct the poll. Opinion Dynamics is a Massachusetts based company who’s list of clients is about as liberal as it can get. Fox News should divorce itself from Opinion Dynamics and perhaps sponsor a credible pollster like Rasmussen.

Thank you for remembering.
