Rasmussen Poll: 7 Point Romney Post-Debate Pa. Bump

Written by Keegan Gibson, Managing Editor

Mitt Romney has bounced back from a Pa. low according to the latest poll from Rasmussen. He trails President Obama by 5 points, 51 percent to 46. But that’s a 7 point jump for Romney since’ Rasmussen’s previous Pa. poll, taken in mid-September.

Rasmussen surveyed 500 likely Pa. voters on October 9 via automated polling to land lines. The margin of error is plus or minus 4.5 percent.

It supports the narrative – reflected in polling nationally and in Pa. – that Romney is experiencing a noteworthy bounce since his performance at the first debate.

The Rasmussen results have brought Obama’s average lead down to an average of 4.2 points according to Real Clear Politics.

I’m a realist too and I see several catastrophes looming for Obuggery that are like several icebergs to the Titanic:

1. The VP debate
2. The Stock Market Drop (Yes it will go down quite a bit until after Election Day)Just started today.
3. The Foreign Policy Debate
4. The truth about Libya, Jobs Numbers, etc, etc.

Romney CAN win without Ohio but I doubt he’ll lose it. It is looking more likely that Romney will also win WI. I won’t be surprised if he takes PA as well. Romney is in a better position than the Kenyan anti-christ.

BTW, you haven’t hit this poll yet.

4. The truth about Libya...

Obama’s Libya statements become ludicrous

Mitt Romney needs to close on the endorsement of the United Mine Workers [UMW].

PRONTO!

The point is not for Romney to carry PA, but to cost Obama a fortune to defend it.

Romney campaign and Super Pacs: move into Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Scranton, Erie and Philly markets, move the needle and force Obama to react.

DRAIN OBAMA DRY.

Sounds like RCP is holding something back about what they're seeing in Pennsylvania if that's where they see the race right now.

Not sure about that. RCP still has AZ as just leaning Romney.

You can bet that this is exactly what the media is going to do to us on Election night....all the lean Romney states and toss ups are going to be delayed in the calling.......mark my words......They desparately need to keep the west voting and can't afford to let Romney rack up the electoral votes early.

Now that FOX News was closed out of the conference call about Bengazi by the White Hut. I hope FOX beats all the slimeball news networks to the punch by making all the critical calls the MSM are holding back on as payback for the slight.
