Everyone stay strong! Good news:
1. The Marxist is sub-50% and holding steady.
2. The “bounce” is history.
3. Economic news is bad and very likely to stay that way.
4. The Middle East conflagration is, at best, a wash for the Marxist. Dead ambassadors, burning embassies, and rioting Arabs can never be spun as positive to the average American.
5. Gas prices are on an escalator up.
I’ll take a 52-48 win and squeeking out an electoral college edge. Obama is a tougher-than-average, ineffective, Dumbocrat president simply because he is black and perceived as “cool”. Many of the white soccer moms always coveted his type, and voting for them makes them feel less racist. This will be tough slog and we have to stay positive to keep our side enthusiastic.
Live by the polls DIE by the polls! I’m telling you the pollsters are NOT gauging or formulating the amount of ANGER by regular folk! Polls aren’t registering the RED HOT ANGER folks have towards this black turd, they aren’t even aware those folks are taking with them two or three people to the polls and are willing to walk through exploding dynamite to vote. The silent majority aren’t answering their phones, I’m one of them, I’m telling you OmuslimO and his pals WON’T KNOW WHAT THE HELL HIT THEM on Nov!!! TAKE HEART the Patriotic Americans WILL NOT STAY HOME come voting day.....Walker’s victory is an EXAMPLE of turnout, reason why the left communist PIGS are shaking in their loafers!!
2. Reagan won with 50.7% of the popular vote in 1980. I'd settle for that.
The most important thing is that Obama’s post-Convention bounce did not last. He’s been under 50% for most of the last 3 years. What’s going to happen in the next 6 weeks to change that?
Forget about the head to head match up with Romney. If you look at the polls over the last 3 years, there is a disconnect between Obama’s low approval ratings on the issues, and his decent personal approval ratings. This is a result of the American people suffering while the MSM buries every last piece of bad news and doesn’t lay a glove on Obama.
On election day, the American people will no longer be choosing between “how do like Obama’s policies?” and “how do you like Obama as a person?”. Instead, they’ll be choosing if they want to spend another 4 years at the mercy of Obama’s policies.
Bounce is fading in gallup also. Obama down to four point lead from eight. Obama 49 Romney 45. Approval rating dropping too.
Can someone answer me this ?: WHY am I constantly bombarded by ads featuring Clinton and Obama...and do not see ONE Romney ad? I’m in Texas and watching ESPN. I see NOTHING nationally with a Romney ad. What are these guys thinking? How are they spending this money advantage? I don’t get it.
A strategy only Reagen understood
If the media actually reported the news instead of kissing Obama’s ass Obama would be down 20 points right now. People, even though they don’t say they listen to what the media says, they still do. Many are sheep, its unfortunate but its true. The media will do ANYTHING to protect Obama, ANYTHING, even criminal, to protect their prophet
How does obama’s approval rating stay essentially constant through the whole Libya/middle east disaster (from the 12th to today?
Realistically, the lead is probably going to see-saw back and forth until the debates. Romney will surge on the weekdays, 0bama will surge on the weekends. Seems to have been the trend all year.
Right now, most the country does not like Romney. They like 0bama, but they also know he has done, and continues to do, a piss poor job. So people really aren’t sure what to do. Once the debates take place and they see 0bama can not defend anything he has done and has nothing but empty and unfulfilled promises to run on, they will switch to Romney.
“Well supporters of the rally ‘round the flag theory have been pretty scarce around here the past few days.........”
************************************************************************
If by “rally around the flag” you mean support the administration simply because there are troubles abroad then I think it a good thing indeed that such support is lacking around Free Republic IN THIS INSTANCE.
For the good of the Republic we need to encourage this attitude both here at FR and in the nation at large. The Obama administration has been pursuing a disastrous anti-American foreign policy regarding anything Islamic. It should receive actually ZERO support from patriotic Americans.
And please don’t misconstrue the above as an attack on you—it isn’t. I understand your point that the current troubles in the Middle East may temporarily play to Obama’s advantage and not to underestimate the gullibility of segments of the American electorate. I agree with you that we AND THE ROMNEY CAMPAIGN need to work to counteract that possibility (and the work of the Obama complicit main stream media).
The fact that Romney doesn’t have a huge lead over Obama makes it clear (to me at least) that there are too many Americans feeding out of the Govt trough and that majority doesn’t want it to change. One of my conservative friends was just telling me last night that Reagan was trailing Carter at this point in his campaign, but I take no comfort in that, because we are in the digital age and in the 1980s we didn’t have access to information like we do today. We all know the facts, we all know what’s at stake.
This country has too many people that want the freebie govt handouts. We have a country filled with people that do not care that we are falling behind the rest of the world.
You look at job approval numbers and basically half this country thinks Obama is doing a good job, yet an overwhelming portion thinks Congress is terrible, but not “their guy”. They keep electing the same “do-nothings”. This will not change until the weight of this burdensome portion of our population causes the total collapse of our Nation. When it returns to days that are worse than the Great Depression, then we might be able to rebuild this once great Republic.
It's a waste of time and money. You should be glad Obama is wasting his money down there. He's probably trying to bait Romney to be diverted and spend some more money in TX but Romney won't bite.
Meanwhile, Romney is bombarding the swing states because TX is in the bag.
I’ll paraphrase the same comment I made regarding the gallup poll. These are national polls that don’t matter worth a hill of beans. The president is selected by the EC, not the popular vote. Look at the Ras polls for about 6-8 states and ignore the rest.
I also think that this election will be decided in the midwest, not the south.
The beauty of 2% is that 1% of that total is in California alone, therefore many close states will flip to Republicans. It does no good to waste 10% of your total vote in Kalifornia, New Yuck, and Illy-nos....
“The horrible economic news out in just the last three days should have people out in the streets screaming for Obama’s rewsignation. But the Middle East News has pushed all of that to the side.
NBC Evening did not even mention that Egan-Jones had Downgraded America’s Credit last might. NOT AT ALL...
This HUGE, and affects every single American, but NBC Did not mention it.
Romney WINS on the Economy, but only if the sheeple know about it”

This is Romney’s campaigns fault in the end. He should be focusing on all these bad numbers over and over and over and over until the election. Never let up, regardless.
Everyone should know what is happening with this economy and the result of Obamacare....WHICH IS STILL EXTREMELY UNPOPULAR.
We’re winning. Good poll.
