Pew Poll Shows Romney Ahead of Obama by 4 Points

   

romney & obama*Uh oh.

Maybe a new Pew Research Center poll is evidence that President Obama’s lackluster performance in the first debate is paying off for Mitt Romney.

The former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney now leads the president by 4 points.

The poll, conducted  from Thursday through Sunday and released on Monday, shows Romney leading Obama among likely voters nationwide, 49 percent to 45 percent. That’s a stark contrast from Pew’s mid-September poll after both parties’ conventions, which showed Obama up 8 points among likely voters.

The dramatic 12-point swing in Pew’s poll from Obama to Romney is perhaps the strongest piece of evidence to date that the president has paid a political price for his listless performance in the Denver debate. But the complete suite of post-debate surveys from national pollsters is only beginning to emerge, and the early indications are of a less dramatic shift than Pew is showing.

Republican-leaning Rasmussen found Romney leading by 2 points in its Saturday release, which was based on findings from the tracking period of Oct. 3-5.  But in Rasmussen Monday’s poll, conducted entirely after the debate and partially following the release of Friday’s encouraging jobs report, the two candidates were tied again. Gallup reported on Monday that Obama and Romney were tied in the three days immediately following the debate, after Obama led by 5 in the three days prior.  But on Monday, Gallup’s tracking — which is based on a 7-day rolling average — Obama again led by 5.

    As I stated last week…here’s yet ANOTHER pic of the two, with POTUS on the “right” (not so subliminally implying he’s…”2nd”!) This shyt is bananas!!! Well…”I” for one could give shyt about “their” polls, Let’s just see WTF wins the election!!! “That” is ALL that matters!! Chuuuuuch!

  2. This just goes to show how easily swing voters can be manipulated. I guess that’s why they call them swing voters. They are like a fucking swing, back and forth. Ready to eat up any bullshit you feed them. But that’s what the Obama camp can also use to their advantage. Just run ads showing how Romney was lying his ass off during the debate, and these same swing voters will swing right back.
    Either that or they can sit on their ass and let the vulture capitalist lie his way into the White House.

      Right Reds. Obama had every opportunity to call out Romney and now all ya’ll wanna do is complain about Mitt.

      Well you blew your opportunity. The ads suggesting romney lied will not change this election in ANY and I mean ANY way. You would do best to disabuse yourself of this notion

    When we believe their polls?, we give them the explanation AND justification OF their lying polls! Like….no one is even mentioning that a LOT of Repubs did NOT like MR’s performance, at the last debate! They KNOW he “talked AND liiiiiied waaaaay too much”!!! But….all they have to do is come out with a fkn “poll”?, & mofo’s “believe” the poll. People……there are not “that” many stupid people in the USA! Now….there are a “LOT”!!, mind you! But….if the numbers were what “they say” they are…Obie wouldn’t have been elected, in the 1st place. So when it comes to “their polls” all I have to say eeaah?…..”consider the source”! Ps….And miiiiiiind you “Debolt” (the Repub backing co., who’s fkd up/cheating machines were involved in the last 2 elections”? Is STILL “in the game”!!! They just “changed their name” b/c OF all the neg. press they got, before!! Now ask yourselves?…..WTF/HTF wouuuuuld they still be involved!!?? So again……”there it izz, Liz”.
