2012: Narrowing the gap

Mitt Romney has narrowed the gap in another poll. Romney and Obama are tied at 43% in the latest FOX poll. Obama had led 46-39% last month (though the two were tied in April also at 46% apiece).

Meanwhile, Obama leads 46-42% in a national Monmouth University poll. Among those who say they’re the most likely to vote, the gap narrows to Obama 47%-46%.

And get this: on religion, 31% say Obama comes closest to their religious beliefs, 27% say Romney, and 32% neither.

The Tampa Bay Times: “Poll: Voters prefer full Dream Act to Rubio's version.”

Just 44% approve of the Supreme Court.

MICHIGAN: Romney leads in a new Epic/MRA poll 46-45%, a reversal from Obama’s 47-43% lead in April.

once again the polls show that those least likely to vote are democrats, they show up in polls but never in the voting booth. when will democrats learn that if you have to register your voters at rock concerts, because they are to disinterested to register themselves, there also to apathetic to actually vote. Perhaps every voter gets a dime bag would help President Obama get the turnout hes needs to win.

Old people are the most reliable voters. They have the highest percentage of voters of any age group. Young people are the opposite because a young person thinks: "What can one person do?" This just reflects on how we prepare our young before they become eligible to vote.

Perhaps every voter gets a dime bag would help President Obama get the turnout hes needs to win.

this is one of the most ignorant statements I read in a while.

Now that the GOP/TP have a formal nominee, well of course the race has narrowed. The question remains, however, whether rightwingers will continue to support a great big liar?

Romney -- He's not in it for you.

    What it shows Revengeofpodus is that a lot of people believe the lies of the tea people Koch republicans and the lies of Fox (aka tea people Koch republican propaganda machine). If the media ever starts doing it's job and calling Romney, Fox and the tea people Koch republicans out for their lies, instead of just highlighting them, your party will be toast. See RevengeofPodus you are cheering for a plutocratic government and you don't have a clue what it means or what you're in for.

    BTW: It's now podus, it's potus. You know President of the United States. What did you mean President of dees United States? See that's what I meant above, you people will believe any lie you're told.

    Well Mo.... "If the media ever starts doing it's job" you would finally see that both Mittens and the incumbent POTUS, are in a world of hurt come this fall. What are they gonna do with the good Dr. What you won't hear from the MSM is that when the dust settles at the state convention level, the good Dr not only comes out with the majority of the delegates or at least a decent portion of the state delegates, but has in fact placed supporters of liberty in a lot of leadership positions. The MSM would have you believe that since Mittens has the popular vote he gets all the delegates.... when in fact that is plain and simple not the facts! As more of these state level conventions come to pass they will not be able to hide the fact that the good Dr. is in a very nice position thus far in this season! Put that in your pipe and simmer on it for a while, it will be better than the smoke that the MSM from both sides is blowing up your A$$!

    The lies and ineptitude of the Obama administration have been exposed! I have to think that, like in Wisconsin, the polls are missing the mark.... Romney has a large lead and if the election were held today, he'd win by a larger margin than Walker did in Wisconsin! This is the beginning of the end of the Error!

    I agree! Even the propagand of the old liberal media is falling on deaf ears, Americans are smarter than msm and have seen through the smoke and mirrors of the faux promises of this administration.

    Did anyone see the coverage of the Fast and Furious hearings yesterday? Eric Holder got caught with his pants down, thanks in part to Issa's persistent questioning! You don't see this stuff in the media... I wonder why... oh ya, media bias! lmao!

    Did you notice Obama's eyes and body language? Definitely the 'deer in the headlight' look.... desperation was oozing out of him like sweat on a long distance runner!

    Did you notice Romney's eyes and body language? Definitely a clueless stare and stiff as a board. Dumb as a box of rocks.

    Listening to the President taking question, and it's obvious he's talking way over the tea people Koch republicans, Fox and some other medias heads. They just sit there dumb founded.

    Thanks Bill T for making my point. Now go back over to Fox (aka tea people Koch republican propaganda machine) where they talk down to your level.

    The same people who gave us two terms of the worst President in modern history, are willing to give Romney, who advocates the same policies Bush pursued a chance?

    Across America the jaws of Republicans and Democrats dropped! What a worthless reason to interupt the Today Show with a poor excuse for a campaign speech!

    As Democrats fill in the gaps in Romney's record and fact check failures, the approval gap will widen like the mouth of a hippopotamus. Democrats don't have to rely on false accusations in this presidential campaign.

    Lets tell it like it is. The Democrats don't have to rely on lies like the tea people Koch republicans do. The media and everybody else needs to quit sugar coating the lies with false accusations, misleading, misspeaking, there lies plain and simple.

    You got that right... they don't have accusations.... be it false or true to rely on... fact is they don't have anything to rely on.. and that goes for Mittens too! They are both corrupt, bought and paid for... I would like to add "in full" to the end of that... but I'm sure the puppet masters are withholding a few carrots to keep them headed in the "right" direction.
