The QStarNews poll of swing states released today shows President Obama leading 49.61 percent to 47.99 percent in the popular vote collectively in the 11 key swing states surveyed while Mitt Romney leads in seven of the 11 swing states. The QStarNews poll surveyed likely voters from Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. The poll included 2737 likely voters from those 11 states and had a margin of error of 1.87 percent.
The president has a slightly higher disapproval rating than his approval rating among the likely voters in the 11 states in the QStarNews poll. Those who somewhat approve of Obama's performance as president were 25.27 percent while 23.65 strongly approve of the president for a total approval rating of 48.92 percent. Those who disapprove were divided between 4.61 percent who somewhat disapprove and 45.38 percent who strongly disapprove for a total disapproval rate of 49.99 percent. All responses in this survey were obtained before the first debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney.

I hope you are RIGHT!
We'll see new numbers on this on a daily basis soon.
I sure hope you’re right about IA!! I hope after the drubbing Obama got in the first debate, we’ll see ever greater numbers for Romney/Ryan!
I think as far as Undecideds go it would go about 80/20 to Romney
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but we need to keep praying and WORKING!!!!!!!!!!
I like to see the Yahoo polls on anything political. The sample is usually 250,000 to 500,000 votes. I’m sure there are some voting more than once but that swings both ways. Anyways what you see is a consistant 65/35 split(averages) and conservative thought is massive compared to libs. My prediction is 59/41 Romney wins. It would be 62/38 but there will be massive fraud. When Romney and Ryan win they better target that issue.
Obama is in trouble...
I just logged into Xbox and took a poll about the election.
“If the election were held today, who would you vote for?”
Obama - 46%
Romney - 47&
Other-5%
Undecided-2%
If you can’t even carry the Xbox Live demographic, do you have a shot at carrying the country?
Zero chance Romney wins Michigan and loses Ohio, especially not by those numbers.
Ohio is probably THE key this year. Whoever takes it, takes the Presidency.
Pre-debate, Romney was almost definitely behind. Lets hope the debate brought enough Ohioans to their senses.
So I guess we can call it then? It’s all over for the other side? /sarc
The comment sections on the Yahoo articles are very telling, 6 months ago they were about even, now the comments are about 80/20 in Romneys favor. Yahoo’s articles run about 75-80% for 0bama.
Just about every conservative would instinctively bet on that - myself first and foremost.
All I can say is, I hope Ohioans have their heads screwed on straight - as we can ill afford another minute of this lousy prez, much less another four years.
Thanks for that! The Zero-bamy ain’t lookin’ so lucky anymore!
I went looking for the latest, and could not easily find a recent one. Do you have a link?
Being that yahoo is a pretty liberal outfit, I doubt they would undercut Obama by running many of these right now.
The Iowa and Ohio numbers are some of the worst numbers of any poll...just TERRIBLE for Romney. The others are good, but too many of the “wins” are extremely close. The problem is, more of the states have big wins for Obama rather than Romney in this survey.
Yahoo usually has some kind of poll at the end of an article, before the comments - most polls have Romney at 65% to 0bama’s 35%
I monitor the Yahoo headlines. Why they don’t call it The official Obama online campaign journal, I don’t know. But it does seem like readers are more alert to their bias.
Romney was behind if you are allowed to oversample Ds and women. That is the only way a lead could be obtained by The Disaster.
75-80% of the people commenting all post how biased Yahoo is
I don’t. maybe someone more savvy on the computer and history can find something. Copy me in too please.
Weird. Romney is ahead 11.1 points in Nevada and taking ichigan with 2.30, while being behind 11.45 points in Ohio. Seems totally implausible. And, Romney only behind 4.72 in Pennsylvania and Obama is ahead 15.7 in Iowa? And Obama ahead in 11.76 points in Wisconsin? Bizarre. Weird. Queer.
I don't care if he wins by a measly 1 vote as long as he wins.
