With just two days until Election Day, President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney are running neck and neck nationally, according to the final national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll before the election.

Oh lets hope its not Bush/Kerry like. Kerry got lots of votes!

Meanwhile, Stevie Wonder gave a concert for Obama in Cleveland and less than 200 people showed up

Obama IS still under 50% in a heavily Democrat-biased poll.

That is your top line folks. NBC cannot push The One over the top with 48 hours to go in this election.

If I was O, I’d say it doesn’t look good!

[jersey117]

I think it will be R+4

[tobyhill]

They're missing 5%.

All for the purpose of selling ads... if it wasn’t a horse race they’d have no viewers and no viewers means no ads sold... savvy?

[Gaffer]

Well, I once saw a black comedian whose main schtick was “you gotta stick with the lie!” No matter what.

For NBC and WSJ, this is their no matter what moment. I’ve lost respect for WSJ on this one ‘final’ poll. I won’t trust anything they say again.

America is doomed. We are lost forever.

I wonder what polls said at this time in 1980? I doubt Reagan was ahead. Every race is different, and I am trying to be as objective as possible and not see just what I want to see. But this is not how an incumbent wants to go into a re-election vote.

We have to keep working, up to election day and maybe even after!

[Artcore]

+2D! These people are such POS! They've been over sampling their idiots for months now!

They've also (Rush's theory) probably not even factored in the “Evangelical Christian” vote. I hope they lose by epic proportions on Tuesday. I can't wait to vote!

[randita]

Still, Obama cannot get 50% in any major poll that is even close to being a fair poll.

I stopped subscribing to the WSJ a few years ago (subscribed for over 20 years) after one of their senior
writers Thomas Frank had nice things to say about Ayres and Dorhn-hard core leftists who tried to murder American soldiers.

No I did not but I think he and the rest are all keeping it close so the final results while not making them look like geniuses will also not destroy their credibility. Anytime a pollster makes his final call within the MOE (whether true or not) they stand little chance of being discredited.

Perhaps I’m wrong. It sure wouldn’t be the first time and won’t be the last.

As for this poll the fact they are not reporting tomorrow will give them the opportunity should they have been wrong of saying there was a last minute shift they didn’t pick up.

[Blue Turtle]

I’m with Michael Barone...I think it’s going to be a blowout. NBC is MSNBC... need I say more?

[Baynative]

I don't need to win big. I just have to get close enough to start the recounts and get into court. Once that happens, we're home free.

[Mitt Romney]

This is actually good. A biased poll shows that Obama only gets 48% MAX. That will be his number on election day. Romney gets the rest. Final Romney number will be 51 or 52%.

[phoneman08]

All these tie national polls make no sense to me. How can Romney be even or ahead in States such as Pennsylvania and Michigan without being up at least 5 nationally?

[Sooth2222]

Ras will be out with a 49-49 tie. He’s playing CYA IMO

49-49 (which is 51-49) but more going out on an unsupported limb by polling with so much of the US still impossible to contact IMO.

There is generally a "bump" in weekend polling for the 'rats. That "bump" should be more of a hill or even a mountain right now, since the people putting in the 18 hour days to clean up from Sandy are probably more inclined to have jobs and vote Republican. The voters at home answering telephone polls now are somewhat more likely to vote Democrat.

[Mouton]

Even with O up one in the poll, he is not at 50%. 5% uncommitted or voting for someone else does not sound real to me, perhaps 1% but not five.

I suspect it will be close...I keep saying 275 votes for Romney which will take him over the top. He should get the pop vote too, think of all those who stayed home because they did not vote for McCain only to see they aided the Kenyan win...not happening this time. Add in the Obamacare haters, the anti fag agenda folks and a very motivated military and you see a lot of movement away from His Excellency.

The national NFL game today is Giants/Pittsburg played in the meadowlands. Hopefully it will not highlight anything of value for the Kenyan. If it does not, figure Pa goes R and polls today show Michigan dead even down from in the zero’s camp.

The election will not take long to sort out either...if Romney takes Va, Pa and Michigan, all relatively eastern sates, this race could be called by midnight. If he loses Va or NC or Fl (which I dont believe will happen), it will be over sooner than that. So while it will be close, it will be decided east of the Mississippi.

I saw Barone last night on Huckabee...very interesting and thoughtful analysis.

I hope Obama gets utterly destroyed (Note to Secret Service, I'm talking about votes...ok) in Tuesday nights election. I hope it's so bad for the Liar-in-Chief, that the media will not be able to spin the loss for their Dear Reader!
