So of the 4 major tracking polls today, you had Obama gain a point in one poll, one stay unchanged, and the two that had been the best for Obama each move toward Romney. And in 3 of the 4 tracking polls, Romney is at or above 50%.

In reality, Romney is well ahead but the MSM will never admit it.

They will protect O to the bitter end!

It’s a clear trend.

It is going to be hard for Obama to move that with 11 days to go now. He has been stuck at 47% for 3 years.

Consensus of all major tracking polls is R50 O47, with some Democrat oversampling. Factoring in the oversampling and the undecideds breaking more towards R we’re likely at 53-46 (1% other) as the “reality spread”. Anyone disagree?

Only 83% of conservatives support Romney. The 17 percent who don’t need to get on board to remove Obama. We can cross the other bridge when we come to it.

I don’t disagree. I think that’s where Romney is really at but the MSM will never admit it.

They have stories to write and want to remain relevant. I don’t really doubt Romney is going to win this election. At this point in time, no one leading in late October went on to lose on Election Day.

Some of the 17% are fellow Freepers, unfortunately.
