According to the poll released Sunday, Obama has 49% among registered voters nationwide, while Romney has 44%.

The survey was conducted September 2-8, a time window that included the entirety of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina-as well as two days before and two days after the event.

We do have a lot of work to do. Romney/Ryan cannot win. they will do untold damage to our democracy. Bush took us to the Brink of financial ruin. Romney/Ryan will take us to dark ages before DEMOCRACY when power was in the hands of the few and instead of striving for a better life and looking forward, it was just GOOD ENOUGH to survive.

and I know that his rating is over that and Mittens is below 44%. Corporate polls need to try and keep it close because I truly feel the GOPpers will try their best to steal it.

Both "registered voter" and any national polls are meaningless. We don't elect presidents that way. The only polls that matter are those of likely voters in the very few swing states.
