A separate poll conducted by Politico and George Washington University found Romney and Obama statistically tied among likely voters nationwide, 48 percent to 47 percent—well within the poll's 3.1 percent margin of error.

But there were warning signs for Obama: According to Politico, Romney held a 10-point lead over self-described independent voters, an important voting bloc this fall, and a 6-point advantage over voters who said they were most likely to turn out at the polls this November...............

Not looking good for Zero.

That’s “registered voters”, many of whom won’t show up at the polls in November.

It is not looking good for Hussien. To win in November, he should be well above 50 now and comfortably leading Romney by 2-digit percentage points in these states. He is clearly not.

While people in this poll say that Hussien is more likable, they strongly prefer Romney on economic issues....which is really going to be driving this election.

Yet the poll stays that dems are very enthusiastic in supporting Hussien.....yet Hussien spoke to a half empty arena at Ohio State on Saturday.

ZERO is in big trouble!!

Obambi opened his campaign in Ohio yesterday to a half empty stadium.

Did the poll take place in the Democrat Underground?

Internals, anyone? D/R/I breakdown needed!

I saw Romney led the Kenyan commie by 10 points even in this poll...which tells me to get them "tied", Gallup needed to OVERSAMPLE Democrats in a big way.

Romney could be ahead of Obama by 10-15 points in all states for all we know.

It's the deceptive @ssholes in the media and the other pathological liars within the democrat party that will disallow us from ever knowing the truth on ANY of this "polling."

“registered voters”

means to IGNORE this poll.

Likely voters or VERY Likely voters are the only polls worth even looking at.

Registered political/regulator class folks, eh? Have fun with that. Many of them will be laid off and/or foreclosed against before the election, not that politics will be relevant after the election.

No more freeping while driving for me. I glanced down at breaking headlines and read the words:

“Romney and Obama dead in swing states”

... almost hit a school bus. Mercy.

Colorado - Obama, won’t even be close
Florida - must-have for Romney to win
Iowa - another Obama state
Michigan - will be close, but Obama wins it
Nevada - will go red for Romney
New Hampshire - not a big state, but Romney needs this one to win
New Mexico - now a “Euro-minority” state, will “go blue” for the rest of its days
North Carolina - should go Romney, he can’t win without it
Ohio - another must-have for Romney, this one will be close
Pennsylvania - a hard fight, but Obama edges this one out
Virginia - now a “purple state”, Romney needs this one
Wisconsin - despite the great efforts of Scott Walker, will go blue for Barack

That’s the way I see it.
Romney may win, but it may be one of the closest electoral contests in history.

A USA Today/Gallup poll of 12 expected swing states—Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin—finds Obama leading Romney by just two points among registered voters, 47 percent to 45 percent. The results are well within the poll's plus or minus 4 percent margin of error.

Personally, I think all those swing-states mentioned above are very winnable by the GOP this year. Should that occur, and all other states from 2008 remain the same, it will result in a 342-196 EV victory for the GOP.

The first four words of the headline had my hopes up.

But alas, just another poll story.

I can’t tell you how excited I am with the possibility of replacing a liberal progressive Demmocrat with a liberal progrssive Republican. Especially, when I think about SCJ appointments. I can hardly sleep at night just thinking aobut it.

Carter was up over Reagan in most polls until election night.

Expect a Carter-esque landslide...unless Romney F’s it all up.
