Obama Holds Big Lead Over Romney
A new Pew Research survey shows President Obama opening up a wide lead over Mitt Romney in the presidential race, 51% to 41%.
Key findings: "By a 52% to 37% margin, more voters say they have an unfavorable than favorable view of Romney... Obama's image remains, by comparison, more positive -- 50% offer a favorable assessment of the president, 45% an unfavorable one."

Unemployment figures come out tomorrow, and even if they are better, I have no doubt all the MSM outlets will be giving more air time to the rethugs what they think

(89 posts)What must be demoralizing to Romney is his puny 3 point lead in Repub states. Even they're not really buying what he's selling!

(30,813 posts)This is encouraging, but the Republicans can - and will - do anything to win.

(18,634 posts)The GOP will install a different, fresher, more appealing puppet to run against him at the end of this month.

(43,192 posts)It was all a charade? Mitt's just the front guy, the advance man?
Who's next? Newt? Portman? Oh, yes, Ahnold, Rick Perry, Rubio.
It would be quite a trick. Rubio to the front, Romney to the dog house.
Funny, though, I can't say it's not possible.
The GOP knows how to shift, and put the PR to work.

What do you say?
Kablooie
(18,634 posts)The GOP honchos have been dumping on Romney in public so I'm sure they have plans other than Romney in the works.

(43,192 posts)that the Democratic Party and the Obama Campaign has learned
the Dukakis Lesson of 1988.
Dukakis sat silent without advertising all summer. Bush defined him.
The Obama campaign went on offense here. They have helped to define
Mitt, and have blunted being defined themselves.
It's just a first step, but it's solid.
Let's get back to work.

(1,515 posts)Presidential elections are based on the electoral college, state-by-state, to 271+.
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, Nevada, Iowa, etc. is where the Obama campaign needs to shine.

(13,616 posts)Especially as, if something happens in let's say FLORIDA, the media will gladly say Mitt earned to victory, even though the attempts to repress democrat votes are being done in broad daylight.
Be the Tortoise, not the Hare!
We have not won one damn thing until Mitt gives up and goes home, even then, the GOP will still act like Obama stole the office.

(6,040 posts)I live in Ohio and Obama is pulling out a modest lead here. The Romney Campaign and the pro-Romney Super-PACs are flooding the airwaves with TV ads in Ohio. Back to back anti-Obama ads running on TV are not unusual here. They are most likely doing this in Florida, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Missouri as well. If the Romney advertising machine can turn it in his favor in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania he is back in the game. Do not stop fighting the good fight until Nov. 5.

(82,383 posts)Except the R convention is first, so we don't have to worry as much about their convention bounce. Plus hopefully they won't have something like Palin, which was what gave them a little steam at first.
