The latest Fox News poll finds the race for the White House holds steady, with 48 percent of likely voters backing the Obama-Biden ticket and 43 percent backing the Romney-Ryan ticket, if the election were held today. That’s unchanged from two weeks ago, after the Democratic convention.
Romney was preferred by one percentage point (45-44 percent) before the two conventions (August 19-21).
The president’s advantage is within the poll’s margin of sampling error.[SNIP]
In addition, even as Obama’s post-convention bounce holds, about a quarter of voters (24 percent) want the country to “mostly stay on the course it’s on,” while 73 percent say “many policies need to change.” Almost all Republicans (95 percent) and most independents (77 percent) think policies need to change, as do just over half of Democrats (51 percent).

..he only holds the edge in the MSM....
FOX has been wandering in the weeds on the Dark Side for a while now ......
I honestly think we are looking at the Bradley effect. Once inside the booth, they will vote Romney.
Every economic indicator is against Obama.
Thing is Obama said he needs more time to implement his change. And even if you’re a died-in-the-wool commie supporter of his, that’s a true statement. If he can get control of the House and Senate again, or appoint more judges, he can implement a lot more communism.
Trouble is his argument is not only true for his ardent supporters, it is convincing to many general independent voters in its generic terms, even if they have no clue what it really means. The Romney campaign hasn’t come up with the right rhetoric to counter the successful arguments and convincing claims made at the DNC, as far as those ignorant “swing” voters are concerned. That’s why he’s running behind.

It’s a D+4 poll. I think it’ll be closer to even.
A.) Obama is under 50%.
B.) Most undecideds are Romney voters, IMO. They are too scared to be thought of as a racist.
C.) They have Dem turnout at 41%. In record 2008 election Dems came in only at 39%. They won’t be at 41%. Once you reduce the number down to 36%, more indies head for Romney.
52-48, Romney.
I don’t know about a Bradley effect but maybe the 1980 Reagan Democrat effect.
In a lot of places the Democrat Party is the local religion. You simply do NOT talk back to the Party. So in 1980 a whole lot of Democrats were out there carrying the party line about loving Carter then in the privacy of the voting booth pulled the lever for Reagan.
“I honestly think we are looking at the Bradley effect. “
I honestly think you are right as the polls with Obama as a candidate have always been way off.
I wonder how many of those people who think that everyone should pay some income tax have a negative tax liability, but think that it’s just a refund that they deserve, without understanding what a negative tax liability is.
D+4 and Obama leads by 5?? I don’t like the sound of that....
“FOX has been wandering in the weeds on the Dark Side for a while now ......”
I believe the major stockholding owner of FOX is...a Saudi Arabian potentate.
FOX has been wandering in the weeds on the Dark Side for a while now ......
They are starting to get under the sludge layer of a septic tank.....
You guys should just really be embarrassed. Really. The lengths you go to bury your heads in the sand is beyond comprehension. He’s LOSING!!! Now Fox is in the tank too? And Rasmussen? Who else? There’s no one on your side because there are NO POLLS that show Romney leading.
This should be a blow out and Romney’s losing. Blame it on polls if you want. Blame it on whatever helps you sleep at night. We’re getting another 4 years of this guys, like it or not. The best we can hope for is that we keep the house to prevent any major policy changes.
Here’s to 2016!
FOX has been wandering in the weeds desert on the Dark Side for a while now ......
OMG! It’s raining bullsh1t polls. And it’s getting deep.
