Poll finds Romney leads by five points in swing states

Mitt Romney is leading President Obama by five percentage points in critical battleground states, according to a USA Today/Gallup poll out Monday - a gain the survey suggests is linked to a spike in support among women.

The poll shows Romney ahead, 51 percent to 46 percent, among likely voters in 12 swing states: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Women typically trend Democratic: In 2008, female voters chose Mr. Obama over Republican Sen. John McCain by a 13 point margin. Now, according to USA Today/Gallup, Romney is tied with the president among women who are likely voters, 48 percent to 48 percent. He is leading by 12 points among men.

"In every poll, we've seen a major surge among women in favorability for Romney" since since the first presidential debate, veteran Democratic pollster Celinda Lake told USA Today. "Women went into the debate actively disliking Romney, and they came out thinking he might understand their lives and might be able to get something done for them."

But the Romney camp shouldn't celebrate yet, argued Obama pollster Joel Benenson...

Tuesday’s debate could offer the meltdown point we all have been expecting...

[houeto]

If he wins tomorrow night, imagine the polls later in the week.

I'm real concerned about the set-up of this affair Vet. The deck has been stacked.

[albie]

Obama should start packing his panties, high heels, dope and “Hineyboy” magazine collection and get ready to move on.

[onevoter]

Not sure that Obama “won’t have any real answers.” I find it possible that Crawley would be willing to give his campaign a head’s up as to what to study up on, even if she doesn’t out and out give the questions.

[montag813]

Sorry to tell everyone, but this pretend poll is biased towards us - on purpose - so they can yank it back to the previous (phony) 1 pt spread for Obama they had before after the debate, and claim “momentum” for Obozo. Regular as clockwork.

[snarkytart]

Sweet!

" Romney is winning the war for women. "

Women need to step back and take stock in who are really the ones who are wreaking havoc and a war on women.
In the Democrat party there are the top so called leaders like NOW and the feminist who constantly tell women that this is what you want, or that is what you want, for example: Abortion, Contraceptives, welfare, so on and so on.
Just like the black people on the Democrat party plantation.
Conservative women stress what they want as a whole, as a microcosm of free thinking beings that joins it's wagon to what the rest of us want.. i.e. men's issues also, or for that matter.... all humans.

Next they’ll lie about which date the election falls on, at this rate.

Man, that would be a dream come true. I have seen so many youtube videos of Obama's supporters showing the depth of their ignorance. It is breathtaking! They would show up on the fake date.

Many of them actually believe that they have already voted because they got polled...LMAO!

[lasereye]

If this poll is reliable Romney doesn’t need a clear cut win over Obama in the remaining debates. Just don’t mess up like Biden did. But it would be a mistake to try to run out the clock. The MSM wants to have an “Obama rebound” theme for the next debate.

[2ndDivisionVet]

It’ll be worse if Mr. Obama makes a fool out of himself, since he’s the head of the ticket. People somewhat expect the VP candidates to be attack dogs.

[GRRRRR]

Everything about the debate tomorrow night is going OUR way.

Conversation about Crowley bias is open and ongoing. IF there is any hoohah going on with her moderations then they will be so apparent and as such, go against Obozo.

Same for the questions from the audience. Anything super snarky, whiney, blame Bush stuff...then we know the audience were all plants (they are) and looks icky for Oblamo.

Obozamma The King will also be trying to out do Biden. If he doesn’t try to interrupt Romney fast during his first response then it get’s harder every minute. If he makes any sort of facial crap, grinning, smirking etc. then the camera will show it. Expect the split screen?

Finally, the open forum will allow us to see Obongo’s body language - do -not -look-at-your-watch!! I expect his nose to be in the air and slouching around.

Eagles UP!

Perhaps nitpicking here. But did you ever notice that when Romney is ahead its “A poll finds Romney ahead” but if Obama is up the headline is “Obama ahead by 5. So as to say....don’t worry, it’s just one poll, Obama can still come back.

[nfldgirl]

Most women are maternal enough to really chafe at the kind of bullying Biden dished out against Paul Ryan, who exudes respect and character. Any fair minded person had to feel insulted, as an American, to have such a man as our Vice-President. Joe Biden told some whopping big lies at that debate, too, which is always insulting and shameful.

Could not have said it better myself. I was interested in watching the debate, but after the first 22-25 minutes, I was so disgusted by Biden's behavior, I had to leave the room. I was sharing at work the next morning that it was unbelievable to me that this man, Joe Biden, was the Vice President of the U.S.A. ... to think that this is the best America could come up with for the one who is only a heartbeat away from being the leader of the free world. Sickened me to my very core.

Obama should start packing his panties, high heels, dope and “Hineyboy” magazine collection and get ready to move on.

[toddausauras]

I agree 2DV is great.

[Jeff Chandler]

It’s Ryan’s puppy dog eyes.

Wisconsin late ping to new poll showing Romney ahead in swing states

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

[TEXOKIE]

Exactly, crz. As I’ve said (and other people as well) on other threads, we don’t just need to win the election, we’ve got to overcome the theft margin.
