No link yet. Obama was up by 11 in same poll 2 weeks ago.
Yippeee! The public is tired of being lied to (and they want a president who won’t keep trashing jobs and the economy)
People are paying attention now.
They see him in the debates and say “yea I can vote for him”.
That’s gotta be well within the margin of error.Who knows,Romney might even be ahead.
Forget the polls! What happened last summer in the recall election?
The electorate is not moving, only the polls are.
we are going to have to win by 3 or 4 to make up for the rampant fraud that happens in milwaukee/dane county in every election.
People ain’t going to take the bullsh*t from this media make believe messiah anymore...as Romney stated “we don’t have to accept this”.
"Poll: Race Tied in Wisconsin"
A new poll released Wednesday shows President Obama and Mitt Romney tied in WisconsinWisconsinPopulation (2010): 5,686,986Registered Voters: 0.00% R, 0.00% D, 0.00% I Governor: Gov. Scott Walker (R)Senators: Sen. Herb Kohl (D), Sen. Ron Johnson (R) Read Full Almanac Profile », erasing the significant lead that Obama had built following the Democratic convention and putting the state's 10 electoral votes firmly in play.
The Marquette Law School poll shows Obama leading Romney, 49 percent to 48 percent, well within the poll's margin of error of plus-or-minus 3.4 percentage points. Only 2 percent of voters remain undecided.
In late September, just before Romney's impressive performance in the first presidential debate, Obama held an 11-point lead, 53 percent to 42 percent.
Likely voters are split on the president's job performance: 48 percent approve, and 48 percent disapprove. A slim majority, 52 percent, view Obama favorably, compared to 45 percent who view him unfavorably. That is slightly better than Romney's image, which is 46 percent favorable, versus 48 percent unfavorable. Forty-nine percent of Badger State voters have a favorable impression of home-state Rep. Paul Ryan rep. Paul Ryan Republican Wisconsin, District 1 Read Full Almanac Profile », the GOP vice-presidential nominee.
The poll of 870 likely voters was conducted Oct. 11-14, largely after the Oct. 11 vice presidential debate featuring Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan.
At this rate, Romney is going to pull Tommy Thompson with him, rescuing Thompson from a badly run campaign. I like that.
The late-September Marquette Poll referenced in the piece had a very heavy Dem oversample - 11 points, if I recall correctly. I remember thinking the correct numbers showed Obama with a 4 to 5 point lead, and the new numbers clearly show the trend in Romney’s favor. I have not found the crosstabs for the recent data, but if the poll is still oversampled to the left, Romney may actually be pulling ahead in Wisconsin.
Thompson leads 46-45 in this same new poll.
This actually means he is winning by 6pts as Marquette is always a lib lap dog. They have their methodology wrong - been consitently wrong on I think all the Walker polls thru the recalls etc. I think WI is going Red this go around.
Thompson leads 46-45 in this same new poll.
For some reason Obama is spending money on TV ads here in Connecticut. If the place is as blue and locked up certain as everyone says it is, why run ads?
Anybody want to guess when Michigan Falls?????
So good! Send native son Paul Ryan in there every other day and lock this down. I believe WI allows an alternate pathway around OH, in case the latter doesn’t fall in line with Romney. But it’s hard to imagine WI going red and OH not.
I just saw Quinnipiac for New Jersey. 51-43 Obama. He had 56.2% in 08. If he can’t do much better than 51% in NJ then a whole bunch of dominoes will fall. Wisc,Pa, Ohio and who knows where else.
D/R Split?
Some ad’s are run by PACs and not the campaigns and some are run nationally as opposed to in a specific market.
Exactly!
