President Barack Obama has the edge over Republican Mitt Romney in three potentially decisive states in the presidential election.
Obama tops Romney by seven percentage points among likely voters in both Ohio (49-42 percent) and Virginia (50-43 percent). In Florida, the president holds a five-point edge (49-44 percent).
Obama’s lead is just outside the poll’s margin of sampling error in Ohio and Virginia, and within the margin of sampling error in Florida.
The good news for Romney is that among voters who are “extremely” interested in this year’s election, the races are much tighter. Obama is up by just two points with this group in Virginia (49-47 percent), Florida is tied (48-48 percent), and Romney is up by one point in Ohio (48-47 percent).
Independents are nearly evenly divided in each of the states, as well.
Majorities of voters are unhappy with how things are going in the country, yet in all three states more say they trust Obama than Romney to improve the economy.
Likewise, in each state more voters believe the Obama administration’s policies have helped rather than hurt the economy -- albeit by slim margins: By two points in Florida, three points in Ohio and five points in Virginia.

FOX has been pimpin’ Barry hard lately. I wonder if they’ve been receiving threats from Axelrod and Holder also.
Soros is pure scum. Now, why don’t you go find yourself some evidence for your groundless accusations.
Aren’t we a paranoid one, sheesh. I do have a replying & posting history on here. So what if I am a newer? If you’re that resisitant to anyone joining this forum, why don’t you just close off any new sign-ups permantly and slowly suffocate in the ensuing ever-dwindling echo-chamber.
They announced they were shifting to the LEFT during the winter .
They are boring and they allow awful creatures like Tamara Hall ,
Bob Beckel, Juan Williams to say vile lies about people .
Years ago these people would have been fired for such
Disrespectful behavior and bold faxed lies .
That Tamara Hall was named as the adulteress hooking up with Jessie Jackson in a lawsuit and Fox exposes US to such scum without warning !
Bob Beckel the guy who pays hookers with a personal check !
Who wants this rubbish in their home and exposed to their kids !
7pct more and 5pct more democrats,, I have yet to see it the other way except when they wanted Atkins to not drop out
“After the September financial meltdown, I knew McCain was finished, and that Obama would win the White House.”
Well, if you knew that, you could have bet the farm and your entire fortune in Las Vegas and become a millionaire. Why didn’t you make that bet? You didn’t make the bet because you’re blowing smoke out your ass and trying to BS the good people here on FR.
Owebama ..was elected...
Dude, relax. I want Romney to win, and I believe he will win, if we all go out to vote.
Cool, dude. Welcome to the fight.
Dems in Ohio are +1.3%
More viewers than Fox?!? Bzzzzzt. Try again (out at least learn how to read).
It’s polls like this that make be believe that everyone is well aware one side or the other is going to win, but in order to continue getting contributions (read that as mega money) they say things are tight, or slewed one way or the other to keep everyone giving contributions to the ‘campaigns’.
D-42
R-36
I-21
NA/DK-1
Isn’t that of the country at large? That shouldn’t apply in this case of 3 state polls.

Just saw Dick Morris on O’Reilly. Morris, who has said all along that Romney is going to win, was trying to explain why Romney is going to win and O’Reilly of course was trying to holler over him. Morris couldn’t get in three words without loudmouth interrupting him. Finally loudmouth says “zip it”!! to Dick Morris. O’Reilly goes on running his mouth and a few seconds later the segment was done. If I was Morris I would never go on that SOB’s show again. I would love for someone to put him in his place and walk off the set. I had never seen anyone treat guests as damn rude as loudmouth Mr. Know it did does. I think what set him off was his “talking points” said how bad of a week Romney had and Morris said no Romney had a good week. I would love to see someone put a fist in O’Reilly mouth.
Sounds about right for Florida.
Ohio +6 oversampling of RATs
Fla. +5 “ “
Va. +5 “ “
Need I say more?
These are all from his recent posts. There's NOTHING to the contrary in any of his many entries, no matter how far back you go.

"Winning campaigns do not send out this kind of stuff. He (Romney) is getting crushed on messaging."
"All those threads about burn rate and Obama spending too much early are now obsolete."
"The Dems convention for all the media hype did one thing, it woke up the base. Obama grass roots still in place from primary 08. Turnout is everything. A big problem is we may hate Obama but they love him. Truth be told we do not love Mitt."
"The democrats bounce out of the convention is huge. Nate Siler (yes I know he is liberal) who nailed 08 and 10 elections has Romney with a 20% chance only as of today. Stories have leaked from the Romney campaign today internal trackings show a high single digit lead for Obama in Ohio which would all but finish Romney."
"My belief is if unemployment was under 8 Obama would be way ahead. Hard to quantify this but FDR did not have a problem when unemployment was high. We had a meltdown and the democrats have been able to frame the argument well."
"All 3 trackers have shown significant improvements post convention. Gallup shows 3 points on a 7 day rolling with the 3 day job approval skyrocketing up to 52 42 spread. You can come back and say bad sample or bad polling but no mistaking movement. Rasmussen has moved along with Rueters a similar amount."
"I still believe it is about the candidates. Obama comes off more likable and transparent to the voters."

Look, troll. We're on to you. Take it back to DU or DailyKos or wherever you came from. It won't work here.
