So we have a tale of two Americas. In one, Romney is leading as he should be. In the other people hate Romney and are flocking to Obama.

I just find it hard to believe in the America I see every day, that vast numbers of people are saying “Yeah, Obama, I got to have more of that!”

I agree...don’t hear people flocking to O. BUT...I also don’t hear anyone jumping up and down excited about Willard. I hear a whole lot of sighing, head shaking and resignation to what appears to be a steamroller.

Out here in WA...we pretty much know Ol’ Willard ain’t winning the state. So yes, it’s easy for me to focus on the down ticket races.

But good golly, can’t Willard figure out how to make himself more attractive to the masses? Can’t he figure out a way to be ‘genuine’ and espouse strong conservative values...and at least pretend he means them for more than a nano second?

That is definitely *not* happening. The problem is that Romney possesses a vast number of the same qualities found in Obama that repulse us. When he stands on the battle field calling out "To me, To me!" our gut check response is either "Why?" or "Hell no". After 2008 the GOP should, *should*, have been smart enough not to push for him after he came up a distant 3rd to the RINO McCain. They were not. In your tale of two Americas, Romney and Obama are standing inside the same city limits trying to keep we the people outside the walls.

From what I’ve seen, nobody talks about him. Four years ago they were crowing his name and now nobody ever brings him up. Go figure.

Living in VA, I saw that happen in just about every gubernatorial election in MD. The Glendenning reelection was particularly painful - people in MD HATED the guy, yet turned out an voted him back in for a second term.

Now, regarding this poll remember that it has a 4+ MOE, so Obama could be below 49%. IIRC, incumbents who are below 51% are considered in trouble, so this could be just an indication that Mittens hasn't "sealed the deal".

There's a LONG way to go in this yet, folks. Mittens is seriously out-fundraising Obama and from the looks of it is hoarding his money while Obama is dropping tens of millions here and tens of millions there. The conventions haven't happened yet, nor the debates, nor all the attacks and counter-attacks that will happen post-Labor day.
