Obama’s “You didn’t build that” was the tipping point.
Romney has been surprisingly good in responding quickly to negative attacks and has handled the campaign well, (except the unforced error about the Olympics) but I don't think we've seen anything yet! Get the popcorn!
BTW, Rasmussen has the best pooling data. Some of the garbage polls to make Obama look good are finally getting called out. Earlier in the week (WSJ/ NBCS?) was so lopsided in its sampling, even Chuck Todd, the political correspondent for NBC admitted it wasn't a good poll. Then why publish it???
Obama has a MAX popular vote total of 42-43%... and that’s if everything goes perfect for him, and that’s hardly the case.
His “You didn’t build that” and “It Worked” comments have shown unequivacably, that this guys a communist in his core beliefs and unamerican to those who were giving him benefit of doubt.
I am sure there will be some fluctuation up and down as the race goes one, but Obama cannot win this election. Fight like we’re losing, but the electorate made up there minds on this guy a long time ago, he just never got the memo. That and his attempts to attack his opponent just show how out of touch he is, they harm him more than Romney because they show exactly who he is and what he believes, and its not things the overwhelming majority of americans believe.
Obama I think honestly will be lucky to get 40% on election day.
Obama has spent $100 million this year and managed to get his job approval numbers up from low 40s to high 40s. He can’t sustain anything above 50 and hasn’t been able to do so for three years. Not a good sign. Economy will get worse, not better, as we approach the election. Not a good sign. Obama is now being openly criticized by the Left. Not a good sign. He has come off his tight script and is making gaffes. Not a good sign.
Watch the trends, not the numbers of the day. Romney is trending up and Obama is trending down. The election will be close, but there is reason to be somewhat optimistic.
Whatever happened to Zogby? Haven’t heard anything from/about him this year.
Rasmussen Daily Presidential Poll
Saturday, July 28, 2012
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting 48% of the vote, while President Obama earns support from 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided.
Romney’s has lead by four or five points for three consecutive days. That’s the largest advantage enjoyed by either candidate in over a month. As with any such change in the race, it remains to be seen whether it marks a lasting shift or is merely statistical noise. See tracking history.
