A new poll out Monday shows the two GOP front-runners holding steady in hypothetical head-to-head general-election match-ups with President Obama and leading him in a grouping of 12 key swing states.

Mitt Romney and Obama are deadlocked at 47 percent in the latest USA Today/Gallup Poll of national voters, with the GOP challenger edging the incumbent 48 percent to 46 in a dozen battleground states identified by the survey.

That's a strong showing for the former Massachusetts governor, who was trailing Obama by as much as 8 percentage points in an Associated Press poll released last week.

It appears the Lame Stream Media and Obama are losing their ability to bamboozle most Americans anymore.

Hell I hope gas hits $5.00 a gallon.

There’s NO WAY he will be re-elected with gas that high.

[chris_bdba]

Gee no wonder there are many calls for releasing fuel from the strategic petroleum reserve like reading the price of gas by 3¢ a gallon will save his sorry @**.

[chris_bdba]

reading = reducing auto correct strikes again....

[Joe the Pimpernel]

Not to worry.

The Community Agitators Formerly Known as ACORN have millions of dead voters registered and ready to hit the polling stations.

Next, we’ll have” un-named sources” urging Hillary! to throw her headband in the ring, and she will mysteriously have a full campaign staff ready to roll.

[Joe the Pimpernel]

I am hoping for $6.

Problem is, the welfare class doesn't need gas because they don't go to work.

[tobyhill]

I think the damage has been done to Obama beyond repair and he did it to himself. He can't hit 50% approval more than a couple one day bumps.

Obama refuses to approve a 900,000 barrels of oil a day pipeline with 20,000 immediate jobs.

He apologized to terrorist for nothing our troops did wrong.

Health Insurance Cost is skyrocketing despite his claim that with Obamacare they would lower.

They do need to get the the liquor store now and then, and to buy cigarettes and lottery tickets.

[TWhiteBear]

I am not hoping for $6 gas, but I think it is already in the cards,actually, the pipeline...er, actually not in the pipeline and that is part of Mr. Obamas problem

•Former Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum tops Obama 50%-45% in the swing states. Nationwide, Santorum’s lead is 49%-46%. Romney (aka Obama-lite) tied with Obama 47%-47%.

Bye-bye Obama, hello eight years of conservative government control again.

[repentant_pundit]

I agree tho it’s absolutely disgusting to think that the voting sheeple of America base their vote on gas prices.

But if that’s what it takes to unseat the commiecrats, I say let it go to $7 a gallon just to make sure it’s a blowout in November.

With all due respect, what do you mean by "again"?

[myrabach]

I’m not usually one to be hung up on a person’s looks, but have you seen Hil lately? Scary and it hurts to look at her face.

[CainConservative]

Oops ( :

[CainConservative]

I should have added “in the White House”.

[Baseballguy]

Hil is turning into the 90’s Secretary of State under her Husband. Maybe they are the same person???

No, but they still need to buy gas to visit the casinos and buy liquor.

AMEN and a bump to everything you said.

Gas & Diesel > $5.00 will cause an acceleration of inflation that could be very difficult to slow.
