Backlash Poll : Obama Trails Romney 7 % [Drudge Headline]
Rasmussen Reports ^ | MAY 11, 2012 | Rasmussen Reports

Posted on 05/11/2012 7:19:59 AM PDT by RobinMasters

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Mitt Romney earning 50% of the vote and President Obama attracting 43% support. Four percent (4%) would vote for a third party candidate, while another three percent (3%) are undecided.

Matchup results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update).

This is the first time Romney has reached the 50% level of support and is his largest lead ever over the president. It comes a week after a disappointing jobs report that raised new questions about the state of the economy. See tracking history.

Thirty-seven percent (37%) give the president good or excellent marks for his handling of the economy. Forty-eight percent (48%) say he’s doing a poor job. Consumer confidence has slipped four points since last week’s government report on job creation and unemployment. The number who believe their personal finances are getting better slipped from 30% a week ago to 28% today. The number who fear their finances are getting worse increased from 43% before the jobs report to 47% today.

Obama is going to lose and lose so big that no amount of election fraud will help him.

From your keyboard and Rush's lips to God's ears...

TIME TO OUST THESE COMMUNIST FREAKS!!!!

I love this sentiment, and it needs to be our rally cry for the next six months. The last three years have been the most ridiculous exercise in our nations history of radical marxist policies domestically and dramatically weak foreign relations abroad. It is time to put these radicals out of power and clean up the mess. This regime didn't start it the leftward march, but they it took to extremes we never thought possible.

That is what Andrew Breitbarts’ rallying cry would have been, and so is it mine.

The MSM meme is to try and use this as a wedge issue to divide republicans into social vs ecconomic voters.

the msm is terrified of conservative meaning conservative on all fronts.

Also the MSM is terrified of the voters starting to focus on house and senate races. A veto proop majority would make a wimpy romney unnecessary on a marriage, dadt, or special fetish rights debate.

BINGO!!!

And DON’T forget those LOCAL RACES!!

The way to stick a steak in the heart of RINO Vampirism in the GOP is to TAKE OVER THE COUNTY AND STATE COMMITTEES! And THOSE positions are relatively ANONYMOUS and don’t take up the TIME and MONEY that regualr elected offices do. BUT THEY ARE VERY POWERFUL!!!!!

It's too early for Ubama to implode.

This gives Hillary plenty of time to step in and save the day.

Obama’s support for gay marriage will cost him. Expect a lot of media lectures on what a bunch of Neanderthals the American public is for not agreeing with him.

I would love to hear your argument. A concise, developed logical statement could be a boon to all of us.

“Also the MSM is terrified of the voters starting to focus on house and senate races.”

The Lame stream media IS trying it’s best to boost Ozippy, but they are losing this battle SOOOOO BIG time. Here in Wisconsin, after the FABULOUS turnout of 626,000 votes FOR Gov. Walker this week for a GOP primary that was pretty much meaningless, the papers all across the country ignored OUR turnout but touted the tremendous Dem turnout. WHAT??? Terrified about June 5 recall for Gov. Walker, are they? Their precious union thugs I hope and pray are going down. This is ground zero for the national union thug debate.

The MSM and the elite want to shut down FOX, turn off Talk Radio, Ditch the Internet, etc. on and on. WE the People are NOT stupid. MSM cannot stand this. haa haa.

Don’t you just love it? We will survive and yes, Mr. Lugar you DID lose, and you other RINOs are next. You Dems that have taken this country down the tubes, to you I say “You ain’t seen nothing yet!” We shall NOT stand down.

Would it not be great if the election turned on some dumb statement by the VP clown prince.

Good news Ping (for a change and hope!)..................

Backlash Poll : Obama Trails Romney 7 % [Drudge Headline]

The bad news could be that the 0b0z0id communists will go to plan "B," sooner than later. That's violence preceded by sluggish Internet, cell services and set pieces in the MSM to suggest, "Postponing the election indefinitely for the common good!"

See these possible headlines on Nov. 7.

Obumbles is the WORST occupant of the Oval Office since Buchanan.

Plus Buchanan was a bonafide poofter while Obumbles is merely bi-sexual.
