CNN Poll: Obama holds 7-point lead over Romney (Mega-Barf)

Washington (CNN) - Mitt Romney's unfavorable rating is up, most Americans think the Republican presidential challenger favors the rich, and the public no longer believes that the economy will get better if Romney is elected, according to a new national poll.

But a CNN/ORC International survey released Thursday also indicates that Romney's supporters are increasingly getting behind the presumptive GOP nominee.

It all adds up to a seven point advantage for President Barack Obama over the former Massachusetts governor, with 52% of registered voters questioned in the survey saying that they'd vote to re-elect the president and 45% backing Romney.

"Among independent voters, the poll indicates President Obama has a 53%-42% lead," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said. "The president holds a nine point advantage among women voters and a smaller six point edge among men."

actually the ones drinking the kool aid are the Romney lovers who slobber all over themselves. I for one make up my own mind. I don’t go along with the masses which is why I am a conservative. It is funny how you liberals are freaking out. I am laughing my butt off knowing I had NOTHING to do with this mess. God we should have Newt, Santorum, Bachmann, sheesh anyone other than the worst Repubublican on Earth.

I don’t know which is more uproariously pathetic: the poll or the fact that you apparently believe it! :)

Why should I? If anyone is going to deal with it, it is going to be his fans or the ones that wanted him in the first place.

Next time find someone who can win. Santorum/Bachman wasn't going anywhere, even in the Republican party.

I know this is just anecdotal, but I have come across at least 30 aquaintances that say they voted for Obama but will not this time. I know of NO ONE who is going the other way.

These polls are screwy.

This poll is unmitigated bull squat. It’s designed to depress republicans, to drive results...not to reflect reality.

If this country reelects Obama, then it is deserving of every bit of mockery and derision it has coming.

ah the over sample and report and when the election comes and the illegal vtes are counted the polls will show obama was going to win anyway.

Lets face it the media need calling out as well as the homostapo right now by talk radio, tv heads and the flaming elitist idiotic, lets play fair they called me a name but we’ll be nice GOP

Rasmussen has Romney +4 (likely voters) and Gallup has Obama +2 (registered voters).

Hmmmmm, who to believe? Rasmussen, Gallup, or CNN/3 kids with cell phones who barely squeaked by undergrad statistics?

Because they don’t show a breakdown of dems/reps/independs you can throw this poll in the garbage.

From the report, it appears to be “419 GOP/GOP leaning independants”

The best case would be +13 D; the worse case would +17 D. This is very skewed.
