Heading into Monday's final debate and with just over two weeks until Election Day, President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney are now tied nationally, according the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Obama and Romney both get 47 percent among likely voters in the latest edition of the poll, conducted entirely in the aftermath of the second presidential debate last Monday. In the last national NBC/WSJ poll, which was conducted before debate season began, the president held a narrow, three-point lead over his GOP challenger, 49 percent to 46 percent.

I am so amused at how that 47% number just keeps appearing, in so many ways. It’s hilarious!

Yup. What a surprise.

There has to be a way to make money off something as predictable as the MSM.

These MSM traitors are hiding what is likely to be a rout of Obama and a repudiation of his backdoor politics.

There are millions of hardworking net taxpayers who know there is a huge huge entitlement class of leeches that subsist off them, via the 83 government entitlement programs not related to Social Security OR Medicare. It cost them 1.03 trillion dollars last year.

The government didn’t do the work it requires to pay that, these net-tax paying citizens did - and they are mightily pissed.

The MSM and these leeches will be very shocked come the morning of November 7.

My fondest desire is for them to be standing at the checkout counter and having to ask “what do you mean there is $0 on my EBT account?”

Roll Tide!

The Regressive media tried to use the polls to discourage Romney voters with their fake polling in conjunction with Bath House Barry's 6-month, $150 million campaign to demonize President Mitt Romney.......all that money and hard work went out the window the first five minutes of the first debate.

Now the Bath House pollsters are trying to buck up their own side, trying to keep them sober and coherent by election day.

The MEDIA is now running SCARED. The 1st debate blew their cover and as I predicted the polls would tighten as they now have an out so to not look too bad come November when they can claim they had Mitt winning. I really do see a possible landslide scenario starting to build..... Monday night is important once again...

They don’t list the D/R/I breakdown. Anyone want to guess? I’m thinking likely voters D+6 skew.

The single most significant political "event" I've seen this year wasn't even political. It was countless people waiting in line for hours to get a chicken sandwich ... to make a statement about how they feel about where this country is headed.

My bet is that about 99.8% of them will be casting ballots on November 6th to make the statement again.

I will pray for Mitt...but he also has the steady force of a supportive family to help calm him tomorrow night...

Compare to BO with the angry Wookie threatening to whup his skinny a*s if he doesn’t deliver...those trips, parties and clothes are expensive ya know.

WOW! If NBC cannot fudge the numbers enough to put Obama ahead, it’s going to be ugly for Team OTrauma.

I will be switching back and forth from MSNBC to CNN on election night. I am going to thoroughly enjoy the meltdown that will come when their ‘too close to call’ lame-stream polls are exposed for the fraud they are 1 hour after the counting begins. Just like the Wisconsin Recall.

And of course once it is clear that Zero has lost, the narrative will be RACISM. Their precious polls were not wrong — racist whites just lied to the pollster...

“I will be switching back and forth from MSNBC to CNN on election night.”

I’ll be switching back and forth from debate to Bears/ Packers. Best outcome is a victory for Mitt and the Bears!

I really dislike it when these pollsters do not emphasize their D/R/I sampling breakdown.

Shocking in light of Obama’s debate bounce. (Sarc)

I’ll.be busy filling sandbags and completing the fields of fire cards next to the windows. The overhead cover is pretty much done. I hope I finish in time to put the finishing touches on my manifesto. BWAHAHAHAHA!
