"If The Election Were Held Today, Barack Obama Would Win"

O..kay... So? Election isn't till Nov 6th. We still have four Presidential debates to look forward to, and another jobs report or two. We have yet to see how the latest jobs report and the 9/11 attack will play out in the polls. Obama got a pretty nice bounce after the convention, but I would imagine the polls would tighten up now.

 

Actually, the polling done by Gallup showed the "9/11 attack"...and it didn't hurt the President that much. Plus he's really not the focus...it's his opponent who apparently is re-setting the re-focus of his re-messaging which seems to include "attack on all fronts and then shoot our own generals"-

Pinning your hopes on the so called 9/11 attack is only going to disappoint you. Thinking Americans see that for what it is.
The debates are going to be interesting but again, pinning your hopes on them is foolish at best. President Obama is very good at debating, as lying ryan found out when he was schooled.
The jobs and economy aren't relay going to help the right either, thinking Americans know who screwed up the economy and they still hold them responsible, which is why romney can't get any traction in that area. Americans know it was the right that screwed things up and the right has held back the recovery. Unless the GOP can somehow at this late stage convince people it was the President that caused things to go bad before he took office.....mittens will suffer.

It's early yet but unless something unthought of happens, the President will win.

 

The right didn't hold anything back. If the American people had wanted the democrats plan for recovery they wouldn't have thrown them out in 2010. Instead they wanted a different approach which the republicans offered up in 14 jobs bills that Harry Reid has stalled in the Senate.

Its the democrats that are being obstructionist.

 

General Election: Romney vs. Obama
Today's Gallup Tracking

Obama 48, Romney 45

Obama +3

 

Considering how Obama was up by as much as 10 just a couple months ago in many polls this should have you extremely worried.

 

He's by no means the first! I've been predicting that for months now.

 

Doesn't really matter. No way the democrats have enough seats in play to take back the House so the repbulicans will stop Obama on most things. Same is true if Romney wins. No way the republicans can get the Senate this year so no matter which way it goes, we are basically in a quagmire for the next two years at least.

 

Your right; its too early to tell for sure; if anything is going to change, Romney needs to re evaluate his campaign strategy and try to avoid any wild statements which we keep hearing more and more of.
