I strongly suspect that the fading Obama edge in the polls was entirely fabricated by the media in hopes of demoralizing Republicans. But in private they are seeing the real numbers. Now some outlets are beginning to quietly walk back the numbers in order to keep their credibility intact. If they went into November predicting a Zero landslide and an R&R landslide occurred instead, even the dumbest folks would notice. Then again, the media went into 2010 with cocky assurances that the donks would retain control of the House. I suppose a few people may have wised up then. Or not.
Obama’s numbers will continue a steady downward trend, though I do suspect he’ll get a bumb from the convention, but it will come from Bill Clinton Nastalgia.. the night Clinton gives his speach, you will see more of a bounce than any time during Obama’s campaign, and it will quickly fade.
Obama is a dud, always has been, always will be.
