IBD/TIPP Poll IBD/TIPP 2012 Presidential Election Daily Tracking Poll

Day 1: Oct. 9, 2012

Romney: +2.0

Romney held a 2 point lead over Obama among likely voters in the first day of our presidential tracking poll as both men and independents solidly supported the GOP candidate. A key swing group making up nearly a third of voters, independents favor Romney over Obama 52%-34%. In 2008, Obama had a 52% to 44% edge among independents. Romney also has a 54% to 38% advantage among men voters, a group Obama won by one percentage point in 2008. Intensity among Romney voters has also strengthened: 70% of Romney voters now support him strongly, vs. 62% in September and 46% in August.

Democrats are so close to their Marxist utopia that they will do anything to keep it from slipping away. The Secret Service better double-up Romney's protection detail.

Champaign is in Illinois. Champagne goes in the frig.

If Romney wins independents by 18 on election day, this will be a Reagan-Carter type landslide.

Seeing is believing...

“Democrats are so close to their Marxist utopia that they will do anything to keep it from slipping away. The Secret Service better double-up Romney’s protection detail.”

Yup, things are going to start to get very dicey, very soon as things get worse and worse for Bathhouse Barry! These leftists will do anything to retain power. Anything!

The Fed will pull the plug on the easy money November 7. It will then be "the Romney economy," "the Republican economy," or some such. At that point, Congress should take the reins, immediately.

This is no time for wimps. It's going to be a very bumpy ride.

To be strictly correct: they are using a sample of Registered Voters that is D+8. They do not report the makeup of Likely Voters.

If that is Wasserman-Shultz, she must have had a head and body transplant!

Agree. The gloves are going to come off in the next few days, if not already.

Let 'em. The Romney team is blasting away, too. Only one of them has the Big Mo and it isn't Obama.

I'm praying the wind stays at R&R's back. But it is October and the month is young. The donk dirty tricks squad is certainly working overtime, and if the MSM can find a way to save their Chosen One they will. I think we are in for a wild ride.
