Pew: Public prefers Obama on Iran, Arab Spring and foreign policy, but prefers romney on China.

http://www.people-press.org/2012/10/24/mitt-romney-barack-obama-on-foreign-policy/

Hard to believe that anyone is buying what romney is selling on China given that Obama has done more than any predecessor to bring China to task on trade.

Why are they releasing results of a survey done prior to the second debate with a lede related to the third debate?

In the final presidential debate in Boca Raton, Fla., on Oct. 23, Barack Obama and Mitt Romney faced off on foreign policy. Bob Schieffer of CBS News moderated the debate and formulated the questions. What does the public at large think about the issues addressed? Here’s what our surveys have shown.

LIBYA

Schieffer opened the debate on the subject that prompted one of the sharpest exchanges during the second debate -- the handling of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Our national survey conducted Oct. 12-14 found that:

Mitt and the media had a lot of people fooled prior to the second debate.

Here's an interesting Daily Kos diary:

They're slapping the faces of the American voters to see how many lies they can get away with for their owners.

into thinking they're non partisan

do a little checking, starting with WHO the Pews are, who they gave their money to way back in the thirties, and the methodology of ridiculous polls like THIS one, which looks like the Onion could've done the sampling:

'They' meaning the Koch brothers, Mormons, RW religionists or whatever one calls are buying up the databases and skewing search results, also forcing people to pay for what was formerly free content. Also they are literally re-writing history, scrubbing and elminating all that we knew before to make people have no other answers than theirs. And I use the term *neo-con* because if I said what I really think...

Why has the Obama team let Romney get away with his lies?

Romney - we need a President that will stop American jobs going to China.

Romney - gas prices the highest they've ever been. No they were 4.12 in July 2008

Romney - Obama taking 700 billion out of Medicare to fund Obamacare

Nobody in the media batters an eyelid.

No other explanation. These people are just picking answers out of their ass. Mittens is a poster child for off shoring...maybe Mittens got a higher ranking because he is more effective at producing jobs in China.
