Polls: Obama Ahead in 3 Key States Romney Moves Within Striking Distance in New Hampshire, Wisconsin, but Iowa Looks Out of Reach

BY NEIL KING JR.

President Barack Obama holds narrow leads over Mitt Romney in the battleground states of Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Iowa as the candidates enter the campaign's final days, new polling shows.

In Wisconsin and New Hampshire, Mr. Romney remains well within striking distance, despite signs that opinions are hardening and the pool of undecided voters remains small, according to new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist Poll surveys.

Mr. Obama holds a 49%-46% lead in Wisconsin among likely voters, half what it was two weeks ago, and a 49%-47% lead in New Hampshire, down from his lead of 7 percentage points there in ..

If we can take Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Colorado, we don’t need Ohio to win — although I think if we get all three of those, Ohio will be in the bag for us as well.

Nobody, but nobody, posts polls where Romney is behind on this forum more than you. Late into the evening too. Tell Obama we said “Hi”.

You only get to see this stuff twice in a lifetime- once when you are young and then you can tell young people when it is about to happen again.

I saw in in 1980 and we are about to see it once more.

Romney smokes obama.

Straight up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Kenyan is about to get his *** kicked. These goofy “polls” are all over the place. America is fed up. These “polls” don’t mean anything.

What’s the date of this poll — not November 6? Well, I will wait until then.

We don’t live in a sealed echo-chamber. It’s not not about Romney being behind, its about Obama losing ground in Dem turf. Just goes to show how superficial some here are.

Steelfish is the messenger not the massager of the message.In Wisconsin compared to 2008 saw a mere handfull of yard signs in PROM known as Madistan (Peoples Republic Of Madison) while signs don’t vote and Poles do. But there’s not too many of them in Madistan just a lot of mush heads..

This report is contrary to what Scott Rasmussen said on Hannity last night. (I think it was Hannity, but I could be mistaken. HE was on one of the shows and said opposite of what this poster is saying.

No I got that it was about Romney’s surge. Still would like the internals....WSJ has in the past been using the 2008 turn out which is grossly out of whack with reality this time around

Re-assuring to know we always have some intelligent people here on FR to try driving some sense into others who continually appear to act like the three proverbial monkeys. We must examine and deal with all polls but especially that we not turn a blind eye to those who poll for or are reported in reputable publications and the WSJ must surely rank up there.

Bingo.

Only the braindead don’t see the obvious. This is *not* a close election, at all. Obama is about to be rejected.

The more important thing is to drive some sense into those who, for whatever reason, cannot see the obvious. Obama is about to get obliterated. This is *not* a close election. At all. Romney in a walk.

The internals appear to be behind a pay wall. All I can see is the abstract basically
