In the 11 swing states, the president earns 49% of the vote to Mitt Romney’s 47%. One percent (1%) likes another candidate in the race, and two percent (2%) are undecided. This is the first time Obama has led on the daily Swing State Survey since October 8.

I have always considered the Bamster coming off as the rich, arrogant robot, not Romney. Just because the worthless media says something, it does not make it true.

LOL well done... Get rid of the wolves in sheeps clothing around here!

Besides, even if OH did go blue, there’s a good chance WI and CO go red, which would still give us the win cancels out OH..Not to mention smaller states Iowa and NH which both likely go back to Red

It’s within the statisical MOE and as such is not difinitive. Rasmussen is good but this is a special race and polling in this political armosphere is difficult IMO.

WTH is with the grilling of another FReeper for his very legitimate concerns?

since when did people suddenly start trusting the MSM on the economy?

Don't you remember the devastating poverty stories that helped get Clinton elected in '92? The MSM has tremendous power over a good portion of the "mushy middle". Dismissing that power is foolish.

Your ‘concerned’ posts are pathetic and your timing is suspect.

I share his concern at this time, as do many, many conservatives. You should too.

Legitimate concerns over 1 DAY OF TRACKING???? Especially on the heals of a swing state poll released just last night that shows Romney up 5???

Get effin real.

Well “Blue State Rightist” me thinks you have a bit to much “Blue” in you from what I see in your posting history. It is more than obvious you don’t care for Romney and seemingly take any opportunity to play down any good news.

Not saying you’re a troll but you are a gloomy gus and your opinions are strictly that and ought to be offered as such.

IIRC, Rasmussen is currently using a D+5 turnout model for the swing states.

Fair enough. But if you check my posting history you will not always see gloom. Often, a lot of positivity. I give money to both the GOP and this web site. I’m an ardent supporter of R&R. A troll I am not.

In recent elections, Rasmussen was the most accurate.

Well “Blue State Rightist” me...

Well of all of the rightists, the ones who have the weakest excuse for voting for a pro-abort "god in embryo" socialist healthcare pioneer (Mitt) -- vs. third-party -- are those who live in blue states.

Votes like yours -- for liberals in sheeps clothing like Romney -- won't make a bit of difference. Obama will win those states, anyway. Might as well make a statement to the GoP - Establishment that you don't appreciate candidates who favor abortion with huge anything-goes exceptions like "health" of the mom [determined, btw, by the abortionist and the abortion industry].

Remember the chattering parrots of the MSM with the “green chutes” meme 3 years ago to advance Obama. They gave up when the reality sprouted as economic weeds of mind numbing deficits and persistent unemployment.

Romney was not my choice but he is our nominee. If you’ld like, consider my vote against Obama rather than for Romney.

(A third party vote in non-true swing states is also a vote against Obama)

LOL, are you freakin’ serious? A vote against Obama is intended to get RID of him. How in hell is a vote for a third Party candidate going to do that?

You may want to look at history as regards to your suggestion.
