According to the NYTs he’s going to win 10 of 12 swing states - with the worst economy in history. Right.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and a football game was in halftime but I hadn’t been watching. I’d ask my dad “Who’s winning?” He responded, “Nobody. The game’s not over. You mean to ask ‘who’s ahead?’”

Same thing here. And as things are unfolding, it is looking that if Obama doesn’t get a BIG LEAD soon, he’s gonna get crushed in the second half.

Nothing like persistently high unemployment, a national debt greater than GDP, rising taxes, and a stagnant economy to help an incumbent president win in a landslide. /sarc

Isn’t the Hill the new NYT’s?

Current polling, from reputable firms, only give Romney an edge in Florida, Missouri, and a scant one in North Carolina from that list of twelve. They are not enough.

Even in this bad economy, the “pain” felt by it is far less than previous years, because the handouts from the government have smashed records. People are getting used to those handouts and will resist attempts to roll them back.

That`s the huge disadvantage for Romney... he can`t control the narrative... 0bama can.

Don't discount it just yet - this is President Kardashian we are talking about and he is running for the 10th season of American Idol.

Seriously we need a short civics test before anyone is allowed to cast a vote............he wins and America is toast.

I don't know why you bother. Yours is the only post on here that even attempts to evidentially debunk this poll. But Freepers would rather come on these threads and wring their hands and wet the bed.

As for the rest of you -- first of all, none of you even questioned the inclusion of Pennsylvania as a swing state?

A state that hasn't gone GOP since 1988 -- 24 years without crossing over -- and it's a swing state because some douchebag from The Hill says so. Right.

What matters is Rasmussen’s polling...a reliable pollster who uses only likely voters and says that party affiliation is 35% Republican, 34% Democrat and 30% Independent. You couldn’t ask for a more fair weighting.

Rasmussen says the same thing as this article. Obama leading in the swing states.

I know this is grossly oversimplified, but the bottom line is that Romney has not been striking the right chords with voters despite the bad economy. We might like his ads, his speeches...whatever. They seem to be enabling him to hold his own in the states he is winning.

What they aren’t doing is enabling him to move forward in the states he is losing.

Whatever it is, he hasn’t hit the magic combination yet.

Here’s why: Bad economy means more folks need bailouts, and who is the bailout king? And whose fault is the bad economy?
