A new Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters in Massachusetts finds Obama earning 51% support to Romney's 40%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and six percent (6%) are undecided.

Wow, Obama has only an 11% lead in Taxachusetts, of all places?

That’s actually some really good news.

Lest we forget, Massachusetts was the only state that George McGovern carried. It's actually more of a minimum security mental hospital than a state.

LOL!

The margin of sampling error is +/- 4.5 percentage points

Conceivably, this could be Obummer 47%, Milt 44% with the MOE. Maybe 47% to 46% depending on if you round the 1/2. That does seem like a rather close outcome of likely voters in MA.

It’s just the usual losers on FR that have given up already. Pay no attention.

This poll is a blackeye and will only hurt Romney as the MSM now focus on him as a loser.

Axlegrease has to be thinking:

“I’m the luckiest sumb!tch in history. I going to get Baraq Obama re-elected with $4 gas, 16% real unemployment, 46 million on food stamps and recurring $1.5 trillion deficits.”

"Obambi is screwed. He’ll have to defend every single blue state and at the end of the day will probably lose some of them. He’s just not gonna make it."

The Electoral Math greatly favors the challenger...

2008 + IN, NC, FL, NV, VA, OH = 271EV. (Reapportionment's a bitch, Bobo!)

And Bobo's not even contesting Indiana. 5 states and it's President Mittens.

"2012 begins to look like a 332 to 206 GOP landslide victory - not as big as Obama's 2008 margin, but nothing that will require a recount anywhere in the country"

332. You gotta flip PA to get there. The more plausible home run scenario -- a mass rejection of Bobo -- still leaves behind MN, CO (yes, CO), PA, but otherwise flips the upper Rust Belt...313-225

Some people are convinced that Romney cannot win simply because they don't want him to win. Similarly,they were also convinced that certain candidates had everything figured out and all we had to do was wait until the said candidates suddenly won the nomination. Or that Obama could never win since there had never been a Black candidate winning the presidency.

What makes you think Romney’s gonna lose the South ? In Obama’s first election the only Southern States he won were NC and Virginia. Why would all the other Southern States, who didnt vote Obama the first time, change their mind this time after they have seen 4 years of policies antithetical to pretty much every value they have ever had ? If anything, i was thinking it’s NC and Virginia that may not vote Obama this time around. As others have pointed out, having only a 51 % lead in MA is not that good for Obama at all. Generally, a president who leads nationally by 51 % is guaranteed to win reelection but if he’s leading Mass by 51 % , he cant possibly be leading the rest of the nation by 51 % too.

I'm from Massachusetts and I can tell you that if Obama has only an 11 point lead at this juncture, it does not bode well for Obama here and especially nationally.

Obama won this state by nearly 30 points in 2008 which makes this close to a 20-point swing. Should this 20-point swing be replicated across the nation, the Republican will win in a massive landslide.

Because to win the South against Obama, you need white evangelicals and military to turn out for you and cancel out the black vote. McCain is a Christian and a war hero and still lost VA and NC. Romney is neither.
