Romney is ahead by 5 points nationally at least. Take that to the bank.
You didn’t build that, ChikFilA following Obama’s evolution in May, Biden, unemployment, Paul Ryan, Rahm Emmanuel and Menino, campaigning with Sandra the Fluke. Coal miners, Pipe fitters, 99 weeks of unemployment running out and economy no better than when they started. All good news for Obama..
(By the way, here's the more scary thing for the Democrats: Ryan was working as one of the best staffers for the influential Empower America lobbying group in 1995, back when one Steve Forbes was running the organization. It's more than likely that Ryan may have helped Forbes devise the flat tax system that Forbes proposed in 1996. If the Romney/Ryan campaign announces they will support a no-loophole flat tax proposal similar to the Forbes proposal, the race is effectively OVER because you'll never get the Obama campaign to support such a radical income tax overhaul.)
Gallup still polling registered voters so these numbers have to have Obama worried big time.
I can see an R & R landslide on November 6th from my window.
“Whatever the reason, the numbers began slowly but clearly to edge Mr. Romney’s way, and Mr. Obama’s numbers took a nose dive on his job-approval ratings.”
I hope we get lots of pictures when the Kenyan and his Wookie are dragged out of the White House. You know they won’t leave without stealing stuff and eating all the food. If it’s not nailed down they’ll take it.
Anyone know if Bill and Hillary ever returned the White House china and stuff?
Do you think it’s possible that Newt be the WH Spokesman?
Not sure if Romney would decide to choose him.
If chosen, not sure if Newt would accept.
I think it’s because of a few things:
-As others have rightly pointed out, picking Paul Ryan was one of the best moves Romney has made so far this campaign. Conservatives on the fence about Romney got a major reassurance, and independents are seeing a guy who is experienced, smart, likable, and serious about the issues.
-Obama is out of excuses. He’s four years into a four year term, and people are tired of hearing about what he inherited. They’re tired of bad jobs growth, high fuel prices, and high food prices (something that isn’t get a lot media attention, but matters a lot to families on a budget). Voters are looking for solutions, not empty promises, and Obama has none (solutions, that is).
-Obama/Biden are scaring the heck out of people with their “base rallying” statements, and ticking off people with their increasingly shrill attacks. I’m not going to say negative campaign is ineffective, because history has shown otherwise. But there is a big difference between pummeling someone on the issues and the sort of spew we’re getting out of the Hopey-Changey team these days. I still believe that the overwhelming majority of American voters are, by and large, are a fair-minded bunch. And I believe a lot of those fair-minded folks have a growing disgust for the kinds of things Obama and his team are putting out there.
“plummeting” is pretty optimistic. On Real Clear Politics there is only one recent poll of likely voters: Rasmussen with Romney +1.
If Romeny’s not ahead by 10+ points come mid-October, the People aren’t paying attention.
Hussein NEVER expected that Romneys people would get down as dirty as his peeps. Now he whines that it’s just not fair that he be treated like he treats others. I am worried though that he will demand civil war on “racist” grounds when he’s not reelected.
Comments?
Any poll that shows dropping approval for 0bama is racist.
The latest polls are encouraging, but I wouldn’t solemnly pronounce “Mr. Romney has overtaken Obama” just yet.
It could be that Mr. Romney is, indeed, moving ahead of Obama, and will establish a solid lead in the coming days and weeks. It could be a bump from a good week or so since announcing the inestimable Mr. Ryan as the vice presidential pick. It could be statistical noise.
Ask me again next Friday. And then, after the convention.
Ryan isn't fully factored in yet (look at his name recog polls) other than the positive baby bump with probably x more conservatives (minus Freetards) coming back to the ticket.
The polls are finally begining to reflect REALITY on the ground...
Obama cannot and will not get over 42-43% of the national vote, PEROID, and that is if he runs a flawless campaing, and frankly his campaign is a JOKE! Calling it Amateur Hour is an insult to amateurs everywhere.
He is looking at being the only president in the modern era who will end his term with fewer american’s working than were the day he took office, and what’s he want to talk about ?? Romney’s Taxes??? Its a JOKE! no one is listening to him. The publice has written this joker off.
The ONLY people listenting to Obama are basically the dye in the wool leftists.. NO ONE ELSE cares one iota about what he says, because everyone knows what he says is verbal excrement. The electorate has written him compeltely off.
Obama spent over 100 Million dollars to attack Romney and what did it move the needle? Not one bit, in fact his numbers fell.
Now that Romney is starting to respond and tell his story, you will see Obama’s numbers CONTINUE to climb, by October, only the most hard core leftist pundit will even be talking about an Obama re-election with any sort of seriousness... The real discussion will be whether or not the Republicans will get 60 or more Senate seats.
I truly believe Obama will be incredibly lucky to see 40% of the vote on election day. He is poised to be voted out of office by the as big if not bigger margin than any sitting president since Herbert Hoover.
Obama alienated the Blue Dogs, and basically helped the Democratic party create demographic genocide! This is going to be a routing of an incumbent president, the likes of which most living folks have never seen. It is not only going to take out Obama, its going to carry down ticket. Dems have thrown themselves over a cliff following this idiot.
I never trust polls.
However, my wife and I just completed a road trip from Louisiana to Maine and back. We did our own little “poll” by looking for Romney and Obama bumper stickers on vehicles on the road.
We lost count of the Romney stickers once we got up over 50 or so, but only saw 3 Obama stickers: 2 in Massachusetts and 1 on Pennsylvania. So our unofficial “poll” says there is a landslide coming in November....and if they’re not in panic mode, they should be.
Am sitting here in Las Vegas across the way is a huge Building about 30 to 40 stories tall. Didn,t see anybody around, no one on any of their balconies, Told my wife she said they were probably all at work! Looked again at night, no lights. Talked to a cabbie about a huge new building that was looking almost finished, and asked him what new hotel that was going to be. He said those were condos but they stopped building it. So it remains unfinished. The other building I mentioned had condos as well. Wow what a depressing site. Way to go Zero!
