Bush/gore was close
Bush/Kerry was too close for comfort
McCain/Obama polling was close
Now, Romney/obama is close
With as bad as Obama has been, this is not good for Romney.
Nothing will drastically change the numbers in this race.
Simply said ,Obama has paid for about half the country to vote for him with money from the taxpayers.
+9 democrat poll .this is great for Romney, if anybody believes that 9 pct more democrats are voting in nov call me I have a cure for baldness
I think you stumbled upon something. The polls for all these last four races because that’s what the media wants to report. Not only does the media use that to boost rating and revenue, but they spin it as a negative for the republican in each of these. This poll is manufactured to be close with a huge dem advantage, where there real story is that Obama is way down, and Romney has a change to put this way in the next 30 days into the conventions and first debate
If you believe the pap the WaPo is trying to force on you, you're correct.
However, even a teensy bit of analysis yields a much rosier picture for Romney's standing. A poll of Registered voters always leans left, as do polls conducted on the weekend. And, as others have mentioned, the oversample in this poll is ridculously left-leaning.
This poll is actually telling us that Romney has a significant lead, after months of attack ads which cost Lil' Barry $150 million or more, and before Romney has spent any of his general election cash.
Axlerod must be crapping his pants.
“With as bad as Obama has been, this is not good for Romney.”
with a +9 % advantage to Dems, this means that Romney is probably up by at least 5.
Also consider its a poll of a mixture of adults and registered voters, means an even larger advantage Romney.
