The presidential race in the battleground state of Iowa remains a near tie.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Iowa Voters finds Mitt Romney with 46% support to President Obama’s 44%. Five percent (5%) prefer another candidate in the race, and six percent (6%) are undecided...
The survey of 500 Likely Voters in Iowa was conducted on August 8, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 4.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC...

Obama Defeated McCain in Iowa in 2008 by 54-44%.
Wow...didn’t realize McCain lost that big there. The trend seems like a good thing, and I think turnout from both sides will make the difference in Iowa.
Faux News is pulling for the Fraud...

IA is crucial as it appears NV is a lost cause and CO is dicey.
Romney winning in Iowa would be huge. This poll belies the recent Fox News Poll out recently.
I don’t, for one minute, believe any national poll that has Obama ahead—especially by 9 percentage points!
What if both Iowa and Wisconsin flip?
I don't see a lot of democrats crawling over broken glass to vote for Oboma this time. Even democrats got hurt financially by his policies, and some of them still have a little religion left in them.
I DO see Republicans crawling over broken glass, though. I think turn out will win us this election, because Oboma is throwing out every freebie he can think of right now - to the point where it's getting absurd.
I mean, seriously, homo "marriage"? After all the states that voted said "Hell no!."
Half a billion dollars for homeless homos with AIDs? Really?
Free sex pills for everyone? Po-leeze!
But . . . But . . .but the drive-by media says Zero in leading in national po
LS.
Polls are being oversampled by....you guessed it.....9% more democrats.
If Iowa and Wisconsin flip to the (R), that would be “epic!” I could only hope that MN would follow suit, but I suppose I’m treading in fantasyland with that hope. :-)

Fox always seems to go full-bore for the Democrat. They couldn’t say enough about Kerry in 2004, and even good thinking guys like Krauthammer had a temporary loss of sanity in the fall of 2008. I guess it is their own attempt to ‘look’ reasonable and try to win over the opposition...sort of like John Roberts recent sprint to the left in the USSC.
Polls are finally begining to reflect the reality on the ground.
That reality is simply this:
Obama cannot win.. the RUST BELT is DEAD to him.. He will lose IA, IN, WI, OH, and yes I do believe he will lose PA and MI... The only “Safe” states in the rust belt for Obama are IL and MN.
Obama will also lose NC,CO and FL, and it won’t be close.
Obama cannot get above 42-43% of the popular vote, and that his ABSOLUTE MAX, and to hit that he has to run a flawless campaign, and so far his campaign has been a joke. I really believe by election day Mr Obama will be retired with a vote tally at, and very possibly below that of Herbert Hoover in 1932.
The polls are all going to begin to reflect the realities as summer comes to an end, and that reality is, the voters are done with Obama, they’ve written him off by a huge margin and NOTHING, and I do mean NOTHING he says or does will make any difference. The ONLY direction Obama can go is down, and the lower he goes, the more desperate he’ll become the more outrageous he’ll act, and the public will further write him off causing him to go even further down... He’s in a death spiral and has been for months.
Only the most ardent Kool Aid drinkers will be holding on to the Obama nonsense by October. The real discussion will revolve around will the GOP get 60 senate seats by the, the Presidential race will be over.
For Obama to lose just 3.6% of voters have to move from support in 2008 to opposition in 2012... does anyone with a lick of intellect really believe after the last 4 years of failure after failure, unemployment where is the economy where it is, with fewer people WORKING today than the day he took office, that less than 3.6% of the electorate will not have changed its mind and vote against the guy? The very supposition is preposterous.
IA, WI and IN will all flip easily, PA and MI are the Rust Belt Battleground at this point and frankly they both can flip and I believe will... MN and IL are the only 2 safe states left in the rust belt for Obama. If Obama is going ot hold PA and MI, he’s going to have to poor some serious resources into them, at least PA.
He won’t have a complicite governor carrying his water here this time, and his policies of throwing the blue dogs under the bus is going to cost him big here.

Why is Nv a lost cause? I would think Romney has some built in advantage there because of the number of Mormons.

Don’t over estimate the sheeple’s intelligence...it’s not Obama I fear, it’s the morons voting for him.
I noticed. It's especially evident on Greta's show. I'm so done with her after the say she treated Allen West the other night. I decided to get most of my political coverage on the net. MSM is in the tank for obama. You'd think the libs in the media did have family to think about. They are so idealogically driven that they don't even care about the futures of the own children and grandchildren. The baby boomers have been carrying this country for decades. As we start dropping out of the work force exactly who is going to pay for all this free stuff? Our unemployed and underemployed kids? Businesses who can't even afford to keep their doors open? Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.
I think it’s because of the amount of transplants from California that are bringing their destructive politics with them, just like Colorado.
