BY NEIL KING JR.

With few voters still on the fence, President Barack Obama holds leads over Mitt Romney in new polls of Ohio, Florida and Virginia, three of the states likely to determine who wins the White House in November.

Mr. Obama has fought Mr. Romney to a draw on the question of which candidate is best equipped to grapple with the economy, the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist Poll surveys suggest. Mr. Romney's campaign is built largely on an argument that he can best reinvigorate the economy.

Among likely voters, Mr. Obama leads Mr. Romney by seven percentage points in Ohio and ...

One way or another, Obama will still lose.

Capitalized letters can be typed by pressing a keyboard key labeled "SHIFT" (there are two of them on a typical keyboard), while English sentences, for those whose English is not a native language, end with a period, like this: .

Obama will have a wire in his ear with someone telling him what to say. You gotta know he will already know what he will be asked——or he will tell them what they MAY ask.

The debates will sink him.

The debates are the least of Obambam's worries! His middle eastern chickens are coming home to roost in time to celebrate his re-election..... Damn fool should have never been President in the first place.......

I’m just not worried about all the poll stuff. It’s psywar meant to depress the GOP vote and fire up the dim base.

This is gonna be close and will go down to the wire.

PJTV’s Trifecta just put up a video to discuss this very issue. It is pure agit-prop. They ask leading questions and oversample Democrats to the results they want, and push this hoping to create the end result (an Obama/Socialist win).

The polling is bad, but so far, so is Romney’s campaign. He’s fortunate that the race is still close, but it will start to slip away if he does not get more aggressive - his advisers are too cautious, when bold action is needed.

If it's not close then those extra last minute boxes of ballots won't help.

They are desperately trying to manage the perception that this will be close.

Romney was foolish enough to hire these Crist advisers. If he gets off message he has only himself to blame.

The big question is what will happen when barry starts bombing Libya in the next few weeks.

Romney needs to be game planning a Libyan war strategy because this is going to blow right before the debates. If he gets timid barry & the presstitutes will just steam roll him to November.

“I predict Romney will steal some of the states regarded as “safe” for Obama.”

Although nobody seems to agree, I predict NJ will be one of them; we were already one of the high-tax states, and things are really bad here on the jobs and home-value fronts. Businesses are shuttered, the infrastructure is crumbling, and the voters stil support Governor Christie. The election of Christie was a wakeup call to Dems (along with statewide losses in MA and VA - one year after Obama carried all three states); I don’t think any state is safe for Obama in this economy.

I look at the polls (the real ones, for voting), and I like what I’ve seen since Obama was elected: Repub victories in NJ, MA, and VA one year after Obama carried those states, the mid-term “shellacking” (to use Obama’s words), and most recently the Walker victory in WI. There are few (if any) states where enough people can honestly say they are better off than four years ago (unless they are in Republican states).

Obama’s media tried to mask the tide for these past three years, but the tide came in just the same.

Freepers, you should ALWAYS read the poll internals. Get to the question of party identification. For these three polls we have:

VA -— D 45 - R 40 - I 13
OH -— D 41 - R 39 - I 10
FL -— D 35 - R 33 - I 30

Another bogus poll where the Dims are over-sampled.

They are doing this to try to suppress us!

They did the same thing with the Wisconsin Recall election. They predicted too close to call with their poll on election day that over-sampled Dims. Result: Walker won 53-47.

Come on, Freepers! Don’t see a poll that gives Zero the election and start moaning about it!! Look at the internals, and when you see Dims being over-sampled, get on the internet and tell as many people in the public by leaving comments exposing what is going on as many websites as possible! We have to get the word out about what is going on here!
