The poll revealed a statistical tie. The campaign hasn't really gotten underway yet. Crow or cry in September and after. Not now. It's insignificant.

Obama has had a free ride with no primary challenge and a lapdog media. Romney has gotten hammered by the media and his republican rivals. And it is still this close? Obama is toast.

Romney received excellent, supportive media support during the primary. The attacks by mostly idiots also in the race made him look almost normal. He's been relatively unchallenged by the Obama campaign. The nation is about as polarized this year as years ago. It'll be a close decision. Advantage to Obama, though. That's how I see it.

Poll: Romney up, Obama down among women – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs

Quote:
Respondents were also skeptical of Obama's recent announcement that he supports same-sex marriage. A majority - 67% - said they believe the president made the announcement because of "political reasons," with 86% of Republicans and 70% of independents holding that view. Among Democrats, 48% believed he was motivated by "what is right" and 42% cited politics.
51% against gm.

I don't think democrats/Left know how to DO social issues.

Oh no, favorability ratings mean nothing according to you and the other Obamalings...remember your outcry about that a few days ago. You blow with the wind. It's too funny!

Exactly, and it was not just the liberal media either. Romney has taken it from both side....Fox News, right wing talk radio and the left wing media and it's only getting worse by the day.

Democrat's strategy to divide and engage in identity politics seems to be working.
