Rasmussen: Bounce over, Romney up 7 on economy
HotAir ^ | 9/13/12 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 09/13/2012 12:09:13 PM PDT by The G Man

Half the nation’s voters now trust Mitt Romney more than President Obama when it comes to dealing with the troubled U.S. economy, the number one issue on their minds as they go to the polls.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters trust Romney more when it comes to handling the economy. Forty-three percent (43%) trust the president more. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Although Romney has consistently led the president in regular surveying when it comes to the economy, this is the highest level of trust he’s earned since May when 51% expressed more confidence in him. The gap between the two candidates had narrowed to four points – 48% to 44% – by late last month.

Eighty-eight percent (88%) of Republicans and 15% of Democrats have more faith in Romney when it comes to the economy. Seventy-nine percent (79%) of Democrats and eight percent (8%) of GOP voters trust Obama more. Voters not affiliated with either party are almost evenly divided: 44% for Romney, 42% for Obama.

Todays’ numbers are the first “reliable” 3 day numbers post conventions. Thursday - Saturday release assuming the Daily release are from previous day sampling. are the only days that contain NO WEEKEND DATA.

Obama having a bounce from the convention was laughable, the only bounce out of that convention would have been for Clinton, and it wasn’t going to prop up this fool for any length of time.

he is definitely for the gays

Obama favors both Gay Marriage and Taxpayer funded abortion on demand up to birth. He required that both of these positions be added to the 2012 Democrat party platform.

I know you Conservatives to Reelect President 0bama (CREEP0) members don't like theses inconvenient facts about Obama being made public like this

I checked out Intrade, expecting some good news.

Turns out Obama got a huge bump, since 9/11!

WTF!?

Even though I can’t really afford it, I’ll gladly pay $5 at the pump for a couple of months if it does the trick.

Regarding foreign policy, let’s face it no one is addressing that issue.

I’ve always been more concerned with security issues, but Obama is so turning us leftward at home, I’ve been willing to go with the economy as the issue to beat him with.

But left wing foreign policy always leads to disasters. And Obama is bringing on the type of weakness and instability that can get us blindsided by a big war.

Romney might just be the right man at the right time. We need him. I’m thankful he’s here. After he gets the economy fixed, people back to their jobs, and served his two terms - maybe we can elect a real conservative...

Oh, please. Records mean nothing to the desperate, and Romney’s got one that’s loud and clear. It’s just that dragging a socialist Republican over the line rids us of imminent take over by foreign and domestic enemies, lined up by Obama.

You will be whining soon, under Romney, so keep naps handle handy. He’s seen a thing or two and Romney is no rainbow.
