2012: Obama up in FOX poll

A Fox poll has Obama up seven points over Romney, 46%-39%. Last month, the two were tied, 46%-46%. Obama’s approval is 49%/47%, his highest number in the poll since May 2011. He only gets a 43% approval rating on the economy (though it’s his highest rating since December 2009), 36% on the federal deficit, and on the key question of who would do a better job creating jobs, voters were split with a narrow edge to Romney, 43%-41%. And for a fun one: More people said they’d rather Romney manage their money but Obama be their life coach.

WISCONSIN: It looks to be back on the presidential map with a Marquette poll showing Romney and Obama tied at 46%.

Fox polls are like rasmussen polls. They meet the need of whatever the republican party says it is. At the moment, republicans feel the need to fire up the base, and they way to do that is to put Obama on top in their poll. Later they will want to make their folks feel like they have joined the winning team, so in early November, Romney will be 10 points up on Obama. The next day fox watchers will wonder what went wrong when Romney makes a phone call to the president to give his congratulations for his reelection.
