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.

I did. vacation begins after work tues night. going to watch election at my mothers in sarasota. hope to be celebrating all day wed. Then off to a 4 day camping trip.
America is doomed. We are lost forever.
Squeek, squeek....sheesh. Get a spray of sea water and some rats just jump ship sooooooooo early.
“I stopped subscribing to the WSJ a few years ago (subscribed for over 20 years)”
Ditto. After over 20 years here too. But dropped the subscription because it was insanely overpriced. I MIGHT consider trying a subscription again for a year IF it was $99 a year, and see if I bothered reading it.
I assume they can keep the price so high because almost all paid subscriptions are paid for by corporations and businesses that write it off as a business expense.
Thank you for that statistic.
How dare you deny them their misery, doom and gloom! Seriously, I think some people just won't allow themselves any optimism. I do my best to avoid people like this in my life. All they do is bring everybody else down and offer no solutions.
Dude, grow a pair.
With all the early voting, more reflecting increased Republican over Democrat responses, coupled with a disturbing trend I see as some polls doing ‘on-line’ polls, I don’t even see Obama anywhere near that high at all.
I don’t think the polling organizations have overcome the warranted distrust they’ve gained from conservatives - I would sooner fart into the mouth piece on the phone than answer one of their biased questions.
I don’t think Obama is anywhere above 45 or 46%, and it wouldn’t surprise me that all he has left are die-hard liberals and those getting some kind of government check. And, among those, sloth brings apathy and that leads to low turnout. They won’t get up off their ass and vote if there isn’t an immediate governement check involved.
LOL! Just as everyone predicted, the fraudulent polls of the preceding weeks have “tightened up” to show a dead even race so the media can save a little face when Romney wins.
Read Jeff Head’s recent post on Facebook, Free Republic home page.
At the Obama rally in Dubuque IA yesterday, an early voting location just happened to be set up conveniently right downtown where the event took place. As an urban area that has seen an unprecedented influx of transient Chicago people, and the typical expected result of increase in crime and gang activity, this was huge. This early voting thing is cr*p. There have been WAY too many campaign events scheduled around early voting stations - I don’t think it’s accidental, and likely contributed to thousands more votes for B.O.
How do you manage to turn a 49-49 tie into 51-49?
I sent an email to Rasmussen saying exactly what you mentioned here about the difficulty in contacting such a large number of people which make up the States of NY, NJ and Conn.. The sample obtained cannot be a fair representation with the chaos evident in these States now.
Interestingly, Brett Baier just tweeted that the turnout in 2004 was +7 R!
I hang onto your optimism more than anybody else because, as a typical female I have a memory for details and remember a lot of posts in 2008 around this time. Some of the same people then were saying McCain was gonna win and the polls are wrong etc. They had all their numbers and analysis explaining why zerO really wasn’t ahead. These same people talk this way about this race in 2012 and so I take them with a grain of salt.
You however were not like that in 2008. You were fully aware it didn’t look good for McCain just by where he was campaigning. I trust you because you’re not rosy. You’re realistic.
My poll gage is the 2010 sweep. Nothing’s changed since then except that we picked up more independents.
That’s the advantage of having TWO brain, bro! I DID put in for vacation on WED.
1. If the Kenyan wins, I can’t stand to be around my gloating co-workers. (I work for the G, in WASH, DC!!!)
2. If we win, I need to be at home celebrating all day, listening to talk radio, and watching the tears on CNN, etc.
So, they have gone from a +16 sample, all the way down to +2?
And Obama is still on top?
BTW, the fallout from the failures during the response from the storm are just starting, and Benghazi coverage is exponentially surging.
This will not be close.
lol
I’d like to see a list of reasons that the polls are not reflecting the population’s intent
Kalifornia and New York are way more than D+2.
WHAT???? Idiots!!!
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.
I think you nailed it right there.
