"Obama's momentum benefits from his rival 'making the case against himself,' a strategist says.
The Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa - In a presidential race seemingly frozen in place for months, the advantage has shifted toward President Obama after a series of miscues by Mitt Romney, punctuated by the Republican challenger's comments about people who pay no income tax.

And we're damn proud to have them!!
Our legislature (correctly and sensibly) passed a law requiring college students to be domiciled in NH in order to vote here. This eliminates their ability to vote twice (once absentee at home and once in NH), since (in theory) adopting an NH domicile should eliminate their voter registration at home.
Anyway, there are probably 25 000+ Obama voters from 2008 who would not be allowed to vote in 2012 under the new law, so that is in front of a Federal judge right now. If he rules for the students, that may be enough votes to beat Romney.
“That 8% unemployment rate is a symptom of a USA increasingly without jobs.”
This is very troubling. The last numbers showed a decrease in unemployment while 300K + have dropped out of the unemployment calculation. IMO if this keeps up zero will have his bogus unemployment numbers below 8.0%.
Don’t pay any attention to polls until the wek of 22 Oct. Until it gets closer to the election there will be never-ending attempts to demoralize the Right (aptly named).
I thought Gallup was no longer to be trusted.
In trade is the easiest thing to manipulate .
It’s cheap and Soros & pals could be playing it as part of the
Dismay the GOP vote strategy going on now that early voting began .
It’s a scam too .
I may have just fallen off the tater wagon, but since when are the votes from absentee ballots counted and announced before the electtion?
NRO reported that Axelrod was badgering all pollsters to use the 2008 election turnout in order to lower GOP early voter turnout .
Is any surprise AP is not jumping to the rescue !
This is the power of evil David Axelrod , folks
I may have just fallen off the tater wagon, but since when are the votes from absentee ballots counted and announced before the election?
I think these are wild guessing based on a formula .
Read about it on hotair .
It's Close; obama 47% Romney 45% IN PENNSYLVANIA.
There haven't been any Romney ads in PA and this poll has it a 2 point gap.
If this is close to accurate and I think it's really close, we are kicking his half black, half white, all red, mooselimb, left hand wiped, communist ass.
Can you believe the polls and this story? Only if you are a cretin or coward. Otherwise work hard and vote early and often and pay no attention to those that are paid huge sums of money to lie to you.

“Why is it every time there is “bad” news for Romney or polls showing him down in the race ... it is always criticized as “bias” or unbelievable?”
Gallup 0 47% R 47%
Rasmussen 0 46% R 46%
That is why.

So . . . in a place like OH, if you have significant numbers of REPUBLICANS asking for absentee ballots over Dems, you're in pretty good shape.
These were exactly the kinds of warning signs some of us ignored in 08 when the Dems massively outperformed in early/absentee ballots!
I'm sure da "yuts" will go for him in a majority, but the same majority as 08? No. Same numbers as 08? Definitely not.
I have a hard time understanding why anyone takes Intrade seriously.
I read that too

Yup. But if they show him ahead they are hailed as the fountain of truth. Libs play the same game.
“There seems to be WAAAAAAY to much “whistling past the graveyard” here and FR.”
Same reason people take astrology seriously: it’s right some of the time, through no fault of its own:)
