Obama Holds Lead In 3 Key States
Wall St. J ^ | September 14, 2012 | NEIL KING JR. And DANNY YADRON

BY NEIL KING JR.

With few voters still on the fence, President Barack Obama holds leads over Mitt Romney in new polls of Ohio, Florida and Virginia, three of the states likely to determine who wins the White House in November.

Mr. Obama has fought Mr. Romney to a draw on the question of which candidate is best equipped to grapple with the economy, the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News/Marist Poll surveys suggest. Mr. Romney's campaign is built largely on an argument that he can best reinvigorate the economy.

Among likely voters, Mr. Obama leads Mr. Romney by seven percentage points in Ohio and ...

Of course I hope Romney wins, but I fear it may end up a stuttering contest. We need Newt as surrogate debater. Or let Ryan debate obama and Romney debate biden.

Romney has been doing practice debates, at least since he got the nomination. Obama has been fundraising, attending parties, going on talk shows, probably a few rounds of golf.

It’s likely he trusts his self-perceived god given talent for rhetoric to pull him through.

It's not down to 3 states.

I predict Romney will steal some of the states regarded as "safe" for Obama.

“Democrat nominee leading in key states according to latest polls” has been a standing headline every September in a Presidential election year since 1980.

I just don’t see it. I am amazed at the idiot Obama vote, but I still believe the good ole USA is out there and not the new Uninformed Socialist Sukkas of Amerika.

“The debates will sink him.”

Obama will suddenly be “too busy being Presidential and dealing with the horrible mess in the Middle East” to take time away for such petty activities as debating Romney.

Wanna bet?

Guess what: I cancelled my subscription to the WSJ this week. No joke.

Rupert ought to sever his polling relationship with NBC...this is the oversampled Democrat poll, right?

The debates will sink him.

Maybe if Gingrich had been our nominee, but not with Romney at the helm. Romney will continue to show Obama respect that he doesn't deserve, and he will allow himself to be diminished by the biased liberals moderating the debates.

Good point. Romney is a doer. He is a man of accomplishment in everything he has ever done. He over accomplishes. he made a quarter billion in personal income and gave away at least that much in service and in charity. He over achieved with a double major in Law and MBA programs at Harvard and was the TOP of his class at BYU.

Obumbler damn near flunked out of Occidental and had a communist shoehorn transfer him to Columbia and again into Harvard Law where not one article was written by him and not one grade has been released. He is a disbarred lawyer who surrendered his law license and taught part time till he hacked his way into politics. He has never been known as a hard worker. I bet he has done NO debate prep.

______________________________

Obama may lose, Obama may win.

In this life, it makes no difference. If we are terrorized by islam we will fight, if the economy collapses, we will alternately starve and fight.

And God will not judge obama’s treason or competence, those things are of man. But He will judge.

He was also man enough to have five boys. O’Bumbler couldn't manage more than two homely girls, and he probably had to think of Reggie Love while conceiving them, God knows Moochelle could pass for a line backer!

No OFFENSE TO ANYBODIES DAUGHTER. Except for O’Bumblers of course!

You’re so wrong. Romney is going to the debates ready to battle. You can freak over faulty polls, but how come the libs are not talking about already losing Indiana and north Carolina back to the GOP? And a few other states ready to topple too like Wisconsin and Colorado? Obama is toast that’s why the media is in 1984 mode trying to convince us that fiction is reality

That’s one test Romney has passed with flying colours, a decent man who has been a decent father.
