I don’t like seeing O up a point in battle ground states. Should we worry?
3% independent??? I don’t think so... this poll is really whack in the way questions are worded. The internals show a great majority saying wrong track bad economy....by like 67 to 30. That doesn’t not make sense to then say oh but I am voting for the same track...
What are the internals of this poll? I haven’t seen any signs of movement for Obama. Not on the weekend. We’ll know more when Gallup comes out later today.
A majority say that the country is on the wrong track...yet almost half are voting for Obama again. We have soooooooooo many morons in this country. It’s just pathetic. At least people had the sense to throw Carter out after one term back then. Now... we just have space cadets apparent.
I never trusted anything from politico
Wait ‘til Brit wakes up and sees this. I think he WILL comment. He doesn’t come across as someone who enjoys being made a fool of.
I think Romney is going to win. But it is way too early to gloat. People need to stop assuming it is already won.
The history of elections show anything can happen.
I left this comment at the site. I urge all of you to read the entire article on the Politico site and you will see the internals for Obama are devastating and the top line number showing him ahead by even 1 point are totally incomprehensible given the contributing data.
His job approval numbers are totally at odds with other pollsters at a level of 50& I cannot seem to find a description of the sample used to obtain the results shown. I suspect they are heavily weighted to a D+7-9 turnout.
LOL, a POLITICO/GWU commissioned poll? Are you serious?
I believe I will simply stick with BOTH Gallup AND Rasmussen (the MOST accurate of pollsters in the 2008 presidential and the 2010 midterm elections) which do DAILYTRACKING POLLS of likely voters in the battleground States and both of which have Romney up by 5 points.
Anyone capable of reading will note Romney leads in EVERY category of importance to voters including who can handle the economy better and who will be better at jobs creation. And Romney’s favorability ratings are now HIGHERB than Obama’s. The “likability” of Obama vs Romney was something the liberals were hanging their hats on because Obama has nothing else whatsoever to run on and now he has lost this.
From the above article:
“...the economy threatens to derail the president as much as ever: 54 percent overall disapprove of how he’s handled the most overwhelmingly important issue in the campaign. That’s the highest level since August. Nearly six in 10 disapprove of how the president is handling the budget and spending. And 56 percent believe the country is on the wrong track — 48 percent strongly so.
Romney is favored by 5 points, 51 to 46 percent, both on the questions of which candidate will better grow the economy and create more jobs. Significantly more strongly disapprove of Obama’s job performance, 44 percent, than strongly approve, 37 percent.
Among those who describe pocketbook issues as their top concern, which is 7 in 10 voters, Romney leads 56 to 41 percent.”
So although Romney leads in “likeability” as well as every category which is most important to the voters, we are nonetheless expected to believe they will vote for Obama. And the reason is......?

New Poll Projects: Romney 52, Obama 47
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2951768/posts
The bipartisan Battleground Poll, in its “vote election model,” is projecting that Mitt Romney will defeat President Obama 52 percent to 47 percent. The poll also found that Romney has an even greater advantage among middle class voters, 52 percent to 45 percent.
While Obama can close the gap with a strong voter turnout effort, “reports from the field would indicate that not to be the case, and Mitt Romney may well be heading to a decisive victory,” says pollster Ed Goeas.
The last iteration of this poll showed Romney up by 2%.... and now, after two weeks of revelations about Benghazi, 0bama leads by 1%?
Americans can be heartbreakingly idiotic.
Same poll shows Those extremely likely to vote Romney leads 53-44
Battle ground poll
If you look at those MOST LIKELY to vote, Romney is WAY ahead.
Hmmmm. The Battleground poll posted in a story on the Breaking News sidebar has Romney up 52-47.
