I was in a local waiting room this afternoon around 3PM and Fox's Neil Cavuto had headlined a story that Obama's convention bounce was all gone and they were separated by a single point now nationally.

That's why I couldn't wait to rush outside and see if the sky was falling.

This isn't good. It means Rmoney's pockets are pretty deep. We need to hit all the swing states with everything we have.

At 3PM today, Cavuto ran a story on Fox that Obama's convention bounce was now gone and the candidates were separated by a single pct point nationally.

Why was I watching Faux? Because I was in a hospital waiting area and couldn't avoid it. I don't think any business of any kind should expose their visitors to Faux's fake news, but it always seems to be on everywhere. No wonder the general public is so deranged.

poo-poo'd the NBC poll showing the president's bump continuing. I wonder if she'll take issue with Fox?

They're from FOX so if any finger is on the scale, it would be the GOP's.

In all three battleground states, Obama is either a few points or handily ahead in nearly everything including:
Medicare
Foreign Policy
Protection from terrorists
Economy & Jobs
Obama helped Economy
Favorable
Approval

And the Dems are +1 or +2 ahead in enthusiasm

Plus, Obama's margin is as big or greater than the undecided % making it quite difficult for Romney to make up the difference.

but the fight is far from over and the Repugs are driven by hate and they have deep pockets. We still have a lot of work to do.
