There’s a huge gap in the polling between all voters and AP’s likely voter model. Among all voters, Obama’s up 15 points, 52-37%, but among likely voters, it’s just 47-46%.
“A new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll of Swing States, completed Monday night, shows Romney lagging President Obama by only 2 percentage points, 48%-46%, well within the survey's margin of error and a point closer than their contest last month. Nationwide, Obama's bounce from the Democratic National Convention is dissipating: The president now leads across the country in the Gallup Poll by a single point, 47%-46%,” USA Today writes, adding, “The survey also finds more voters open to changing their minds than the conventional wisdom holds — and a surge in enthusiasm by Democrats.”
Political Wire clips the latest battleground polls: “Colorado: Obama 48%, Romney 47% (Qinnipiac/CBS News/NYT); Pennsylvania: Obama 50%, Romney 41% (Morning Call/Muhlenberg); Virginia: Obama 50%, Romney 46% (Qinnipiac/CBS News/NYT)’ Wisconsin: Obama 51%, Romney 45% (Qinnipiac/CBS News/NYT).”
CONNECTICUT: Rep. Chris Murphy leads Linda McMahon 37-33% with a huge undecided number – 29%, according to a University of Connecticut-Hartford Courant poll. (H/T: Political Wire).
MASSACHUSETTS: Another poll shows Elizabeth Warren leading Scott Brown. This one by 5, 47%-42% with leaners, 45-40% without.
WISCONSIN: Tammy Baldwin (D) and Tommy Thompson (R) are tied in Wisconsin, 47-47%, per a Quinnipiac/New York Times/CBS poll.

Good Morning to all.
I'm not going to gloat as you, the usual childish lefties have don time after time. I have been warning you of surprises that would be coming out this week. I also told you that the ones about Obama and his administration would be more damaging.
In reality Obama and his administration have lied about how things came down in Libya, but it does not stop there. The tape on Obama really saying how he feels on re-distribution and how to the government could accomplish it.
Care to wonder why we have not had a recovery, why we are still at 8.1 unemployment, why are we at such a high debt? Never let a crisis go without taking advantage of it?
Guess what lefties (and you know who you are), The big surprise is yet to come out.
I will ask those that do not think like my fellow Liberals (and you know who you are) not to rub it in for them. These kids have no other life than to post their lies on this site.

What the hell are you talking about?
I smell a James O'Keefe staged and edited moment coming to Fox Noise or a Breitbart site near you.
"I'm not going to gloat."
And then what do you do? Gloat.
You think the President is going to be as dumb as the Rombot?
Not likely.
Better go up to Rombot's house, he'll need a shoulder to cry on. Just make sure you're not mistaken for
the posterior of Rafalca.
P.S. Rombot.Has.Nothing. (and it shows)
Concern Citizen will be repeating this same desperate line "a big surprise is coming" till November. We all know CC, if there was a "big surprise" out there you republicans would have already used it. If republicans have anything they think will work, they find the nearest microphone to announce it to the world. On the other hand President Obama's campaign holds all they've got on Willard and release it at strategic moments. Just like this video tape of Willard with his rich buddies. Note to Concern Citizen and all republicans. There's a lot more to come between now and November 6. They haven't even started on Paul yet.
Dear Friends:
Concern watches a movie in her head that no one else can see or hear.
Best to just smile pleasantly and move on.
Another weak attempt at what the media would call a "game changer." It's too late for you and your party. Mitt Romney has done irrepairable damage to himself and that genie ain't going back into the bottle. So this little surprise as you call it, means nothing. Game over, try again.
So redistribution is OK as long as it is from the bottom to the top right??
What I find ironic is, the same overpaid CEOs, who tanked the economy in 2008, are funding the worst presidential campaign in the history of politics. It leads me to wonder if what is wrong in America is the quality of our business class. I mean, these guys make really, really, bad decisions, like the decision to back Romney.
Case in point: the US Chamber of Commerce is pouring thousands of dollars into the Maine Senate race to support a weak candidate simply because he has an "R" after his name. Meanwhile, local businesspeople are supporting Angus King, Independent, because he actually proved to be "pro-business" as governor, and has many supporters who are members of the Maine Chamber of Conmmerce.
Seems to me, in a genuinely free market, these incompetent business people, who are backing inferior Republican candidates, would lose their shirts, but our system seems to shield them from the consequences of their bad decisions.
Amy, nailed it.
Privatize the profits, socialize the losses.
Who says Teapublicans aren't socialists?
T. Money Trim 'n' Rapy Luau, not a pair to draw to.
that just shows these people have more money than brains. They honestly think they can buy this election, like they did in Wisconsin. But never fear Willard will walk away with millions of their money in his pocket. then they'll deduct it from their taxes and join the 47% who pay no income tax, while Willard hides his millions he walked away with in offshore accounts to avoid taxes. Do you hard working republicans really enjoy giving your money to Willard and these rich brainless goons for nothing?
Not to mention the bevvy of books that will follow. Anyone slightly connected with this train wreck of a campaign will be searching for the nearest publisher to dump what went wrong. Sometimes, I think people do things just so they can write about it later and make easy money.
Everyone loves a close race. We also tend to side with the underdog. Can't have an underdog in this race. Obama might decide to have him for dinner. LOL
Finally Mitt comes out, and states the truth about where our society is headed under the Obama "Presiodency".
Truth hurts, I know.
Edward - If you think Mitt is telling you the truth, I have some nice oceanfront property in Tucson, AZ to sell you. Mitt only tells the truth when he thinks the cameras aren't rolling. And do you really think that man has your best interest in mind? Think about it. It's one thing to bash the guy in charge, but when you have no plans of any kind to do any better, well then you just look like what you are. A whiner.
It is worth it for many of these uber wealthy people to invest in Romney because after he changes the tax code they will save 10 times what they donate to his campaign. $$$
Interesting Poll considering 50% polled were Democrat and 37% polled were Republican.
It is nice that you are so close and intimate with the pollsters to know the exact ratio of people polled. Maybe that reflects the population which would be that 50% of registered voters are Democrats with 37% Republicans and the rest independant or something else.
Something tells me that if they polled EXACTLY the same people and the outcome was in your guy's favor there would be no bias in your mind.
So would you like a little whine with your sour grapes and cheeze?
Romney's tactic: when you're losing, change the game. Except you can only do that a limited number of times before people just start thinking of you as a Loser.
What happened to your "laser like focus" on the economy, Mitt? Things are getting better for America, and that's worse for Mitt.
No, Things are getting continually worse for America. One more Charlie Brown Christmas under the failed leadership of Obama.
Maybe next Christmas, after Mitt has restored our economy, we can have a real Christmas with pretty presents under the tree. Maybe a new car. Maybe even a vacation, Moochelle style. LOL
Answer these question Romney supporters:
1) Tell me why do you far right Taliban Christians think you are entitled to get into my bedroom?
2) Tell why to you far right Taliban Christians think every Muslin is out to get you?
3) Tell me why you far right Taliban Christians think you are entitled to say what is a marriage?
4) Tell me why does the far right Taliban Christians think you are entitled to say whether my wife or daughters get a vaginal probe?
5) Tell me why the far right Taliban Christians hasn’t explain exactly what is a legitimate rape?
6) Tell me why the far right Taliban Christians seem entitled to ship our jobs overseas and then it says it sucks to be you fend for yourself?
7) Tell me why the far right Taliban Christians thinks they are entitled to put the elderly, disabled, and Military Vets out on the street to fend for themselves?
And as far as the nation debt goes,
Since ole George did not have a way to pay for these 2 unfunded wars he started, what was President Obama suppose to do?
Tell the companies that supported these wars, hey I did not start these, so I am not going to pay you?
Tell the military, hey I did not send you over there so I am not going to pay you?
Hey go see George, he started this so he will pay you.

Fun watching Moochelle campaigning for her useless hubby. She senses her lavish lifestyle slipping away, and will do anything to keep that gravy train running for four more years.
