2012: Essentially tied

Romney leads among registered voters 47-46% in a new Washington Post-ABC poll. Obama’s approval among all adults in the poll is at 50% now with 47% disapproving. 

“When it comes to cracking jokes, President Obama and Mitt Romney can dish it, but they can’t take it, their supporters say,” the Boston Globe writes, adding, “Only a week ago, it was the Romney campaign crying foul and Obama’s team lamenting the demise of political humor after the president made a joke about the Romneys’ now-infamous 1983 drive to Canada, during which the presumptive GOP nominee crated the family dog on the roof of a car.”

You know President Obama could be running against a box of laxatives and Ipecac syrup and half the republicans would be lining to support the box and the syrup . Actually not much difference between a box of laxatives , Ipecac syrup and who the president is running against .

Romney / Ryan = two cheeks from the same dumb A ss

A bag of doorknobs could beat 0bama. Just wait for the pollsters to take their +thumbs+ off the scale like they did in 80.

apparently, according to you, Romney is worth less than the bag of doorknobs since Romney is having such a hard time even with the Republicans.

It's sad that you think THAT LITTLE of Romney but it's seems to be the norm among the voters out there.

You're a real hoot, albeit grossly misguided, though! The only one's whining about his taxes are people like you!

If this MSN liberal rag is calling the race even - then it'd be a safe bet that you can add 5 - 10 more per centage points to the Romney campaign!

When First Read headlines that the race is "essentially tied". you know a poll had put Romney slightly ahead...

The NBC/WSJ polls having Obama 4 points ahead is a real outlier now...

Does that mean that Rassmussen is also an outlier?

    You kwow this poll is bogus because republicans have not lead on registered voters this whole year. If you believe this poll I have a giant bridge to sell. Anyone want to buy it.

      The poll's internals show a +9 dem group.

      Educate yourself.

      Lower that to a +3 or 5 and Romney has a Real lead of 6%

      Now go to the cry corner.

        That's right.....never give up no matter what facts oppose your opinions! Throwing in meaningless insulting drivel helps indicate mentality, also!

          The facts I have are your previous posts and this one, also! It's a pity you have so much anger in you - have you tried therapy? I guess a change in the current presidents position to that of "Unemployed" in Nov. is going to really put you over the edge! Good luck to you!

          Are you serious Izzy ? You read my meaningless drivel which compelled you to go look at my previous post , then assess my mental character determining that I have so much anger . Maybe at this point you stopped yourself and decided to leave the creepiness behind and give me the advice of seeking therapy (very thoughtful ). Surely you are in the know of anger and can discern even the most miniscule amount . For this and wishing me good luck I am grateful to be blessed by your amazing compassion and diagnosis .

            This poll has President Obama only leading women by 8 pts. That is how you know this poll is so bogus. Really, you would expect better from the media. How sad that the Wash Post has become a republican troll.

            Why is it that when the media tells the truth about Willard whining and crying all the time, they have to invent something about President Obama to show their not bias? Willard's the one that in an interview with Fox said "if the Democrats would quite telling the truth about the republicans we'd be doing a lot better".

              Hey Mo, where's Larry and Curely? Geez, I've always wanted to say that!

              Now that I've got that out of my head.......

              you cited Romney as saying in a Fox interview, quote; "if the Democrats would quite telling the truth about the republicans we'd be doing a lot better".

              I know what you're answer to my next question will be but I'll ask anyhow.......would you provide a reliable source for this quote? I've not been able to validate it and I seriously doubt that Romney would ever say something as asinine as that. But if you don't want to divulge your source - I'll know why (we both will won't we, hahaha!).

                it is no longer the republican party, but the american taliban party: demean women, demean the poor, disenfranchise the vote, ignore the constitution, demean those who dont agree with them as unpatriotic, place religion in the constitution

                we all, the real republicans, independents and democrats must be responsible citizens and stand as one voice and make it loud an clear that every citizen in this country be allowed to carry out their constitutional right to vote! this my american citizens is the most agrievious assault on all of our freedoms, the right to vote.

                romney and ryan back the american taliban party and their response to the 98% of us is " dont ask who, what or why, for you the 98%, your job is to do and die!

                  Couldn't agree more. There was once a time that the Republican party stood for being fiscally conservative and socially moderate. Now, it seems to stand for something to the right of religous conservative. Where does that leave the "middle of the road" voters who believe in the separation of church and state as a basis for freedom?

                  And for the purposes of full disclosure - I'm neither a democrat or a republican. Just wanted to ask the question.

                      Kenva, I don't disagree with you - we all know that what you are saying is true........but getting angry serves the goals of the liberal/socialist/marxist mindset, they thrive on it. By making you angry, in their minds, they win!
