*SCHADENFREUDE ALERT!* Daily/Kos SEIU poll gives Romney best numbers of the week (R-50, O-46)

No linky, linky because Daily Kos is not welcome here at FR | 10/16/12 | Daily Kos

[The G Man]

This was a PPP poll for Kos/SEIU conducted 10/12-14 of likely voters (previous results in parenthesis):

The candidates for President are Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney. If the election was today, who would you vote for?

Obama 46 (47)
Romney 50 (49)

At a time when other polls are moving back in the president's direction, our own weekly poll by Public Policy Polling saw the opposite—a two-point Romney gain. Per day:

Friday (38%) Obama 47, Romney 49
Saturday (39%) Obama 49, Romney 47
Sunday (24%) Obama 43, Romney 55

Maybe that'll wipe the stupid grin off his face:

“At a time when other polls are moving back in the president’s direction...”

What polls are moving in the other direction?

[Michigander222]

50% the magic number!! :)

Unless Obama wets himself on stage tonight, the Democrat media will declare him the winner. They won’t allow another defeat unless it is glaringly obvious that he lost.

Have you prayer for Romney’s success? It will take divine intervention for him to win the second time.

[Eccl 10:2]

Internals and their trend? D/R/I?

[spokeshave]

What polls are moving in the other direction?

I would guess all those with over 4 points weighting in favor of the dims.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

At a time when other polls are moving back in the president's direction,

LOL. They are near suicidal so they have to grasp at straws. Keep telling yourself that polls are moving in the president's direction. I guess if you are the Washington Post and have a D+9 sample, the poll will show a slight lead for the president.

[BlueStateRightist]

Yes. Pray for Mitt. The media is lined up to declare him the loser. He needs to be more on his game tonight than the first debate. One “wrong move” and the MSM will attempt a full stop on his momentum. Look for “women’s issues” to be the core basis for the MSM attacks.

I don’t think what Obama does matters anymore. Voters are watching Romney, giving him the benefit of the doubt, and hoping he can close the deal.

The last words from my lips last night and the first this morning. I NEVER underestimate the power of prayer :-)

Re: Info on internals

If it's there, I don't see it. Extrapolating things out, looks like it was of approx 1600 likely voters. No D/R/I breakdown but they do say 44 pct of respondents were conservative vs 16 pct liberal.

It's also got Romney up 50-47 in "swing states."

[a.c.t.32]

Yes. Prayed this morning and will keep praying throughout the day.

[MaxMax]

All that over-hype created someone people are tired of hearing about.

[DAC21]

This is just a get out the Rat vote poll. No one has Ronmey up 4, wish is were true.

[shoff]

The only numbers moving up for Obama is the number of likely democratic voters needed to make him not look like a loser in the polls!!!!

[illinifan]

I think you are right. In listening to “undecideds” interviewed after prior debates, one negative for Romney is lack of specificity. If he can get out from under the “you lied about your tax plan for the past 18 months” meme and can show SOME specificity other than “closing loopholes”, I think he can close the deal with a great number of undecideds. The folks know Obama has failed so far and Romney is showing he is not the villain portrayed by the left.

[Doogle]

I'm thinking the little boy king is in big trouble...his unteleprompted speeches in the past always lead to presidential gaffs....tonight will be no different, tomorrow the media will be damage control...

[Kozak]

He's not competent enough to be the Joker.

More like this clown...

“At a time when other polls are moving back in the president’s direction...”

After Chuck Todd's statement that things are fundamentally shifting in Romney's favor ?

This is nothing more than the media's attempt of " projection " to shape the opinion of the sheeled people who get all their news from the main stream media.
Selective sounds bites.

[9YearLurker]

Almost enough to make you think they’re prepping for the big “Obama’s comeback, surging in the polls” stories they’ve got ready to run after tonight’s debate.
