Holding steady.
basically no movement, statistical noise, notice Obama did not move at all in either RV or LV.
Yup. The Marxist is stuck at 45%. That’s all that matters.
“Wasn’t it 52/45 yesterday? What happened to that point?”
Probably nothing. You’re going to get statistical noise which can change how numbers are rounded off without much actual movement.
We need to avoid thinking every miniscule change in the numbers is meaningful. Some are; some aren’t.
Good news. This means NO bump on the second debate for Obama.
Romney broke 50% and is holding there. 0bama cannot get any traction. Another disaster in the 3rd debate & the rout is on.
Reaching for the salt shaker, but the main course, is lookin good.. :)
The only way Romney could lose the election now is to be caught sleeping with a dead boy or a live girl as the wags like to say.
The third debate Tuesday night is not to change the nature of the race.
Need every point of that to offset certain Obamanite vote fraud.
Yep. It could have been 51.7 R - 44.6 O yesterday and it will have rounded to 52-45. Today it could be 51.4 R - 44.9 O and you get today’s results. Interpreted with the stated margin of error of +-2%, it could be 49-47.
I love that the next debate is foreign policy focused, where Romney will have plenty of opportunity to compensate for failing to score on Libya on Thursday. Obama will be dying to make up lost ground on the economy and squeeze in the abortion/war on women crap. Watch him go off topic every question.
So Romney’s going to win, ok, no need for me to vote on the 6th...
I already voted, mwahaha!
yea but he has to be strong. In the last debate when that question came up he didn’t look as confident or as in control as he looks when he’s talking about the economy. He looked afraid to offend. I hope he does one of those 1 minute list of all the problems (similar to what he did with the economy). If he does that, forcefully, he could seal it
I hope Romney ties national security to the economy, debt, and energy independence.
I worry slightly because this is the lone national poll that has Romney ahead today. The rest are either a tie or an O lead.
These damn things are just all over the place.
As they say, it’s the economy stupid. Apparently suburban women want jobs for themselves, their husbands and their kids more than they want abortion on demand and $9 worth of birth control pills.
Wow who’d have thunk it lol
I agree. Romney is now ahead in NH for their 4 EVS as of today & it looks like he may also get the 1 EV out of northern Maine. 5 EVs out of New England is a real bonus.
