W's approval was 53% among those who voted according to exit polling. Obama's approval is in the mid 40's.

Not to mention most of these polls are registered voters, not likely voters. There was a shift towards W in 2004 as polls shifted to likely voters.

And 2 points is a "solid lead"?!?!?!?

I have a rhetorical question: come November 7th, 2012, will any of your lives improve, based on team 'wins'? If so, will the improvements be immediate? When do your personal lives begin to improve?

Might their be a possibility that "Enemy Country" and others have greater control over their destinies than a person whose job is to command the U.S. Armed Forces, or appointing ambassadors to other nations?

I wonder if Enemy Country and other posters know who their town council members are, their state senators and assembly members... what ballot measures are at stake locally?

The laziest form of politics is presidential. The lowest common denominator of political discourse filters through the discussion of this office, and the discussion, by and large, attracts dullards, non-thinkers.

You have very valid points. I vote in local elections but in SC its a matter of which republican will beat which republican. Obama for me is a symbol of something that the right/tea party hates. They never believed it would happen and it did. Now they want to minimize it by him not getting but one term. So for that reason I will be glad on the 7th that racism is not as strong as the right/tea party thinks that it is.

Default Excellent news

Easy to ignore the misguided narrative from the Right this year, as the President continues to gain momentum.

As the election draws near, this lead is expected to widen, and to no surprise, the President wins his second term.

...................... and now the bad news-

1. democratic pollsters tend to oversample democratic voters, which leads to a 4% overestimation of party support.

2. Likely voters are not the same as registered voters

3. Bush was not presiding over 8.2% unemployment and $16 trillion debt


Bo loses big in November. I wonder how many libs on this site, who constantly say Bo will win, will actually admit that their "predictions" were dead wrong? Probably none. We will have to remind them, as libs are great at revisionist history. They will say that they knew Bo was going to lose all along, but just "carried the flag" for the party by being falsely optomistic- they will never admit that they were wrong.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday
shows Mitt Romney attracting 47% of the vote, while President Obama earns support from 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.

I am really surprised that the margin is only 4%. Romeny leads Obama over 10% in voter response for ability to manage the economy, which is the most important issue to voters. I would suspect that the election results would reflect his more, and I would anticipate a 6-8% margin of victory for Romney. Bo will get anywhere from 156-232 electoral votes, but far from what is needed to be re-elected. The nation will breathe a deep sigh of relief after November and will never put such an inexperienced, unknown candidate in the office again.

Will Romney be better? Of course. Will he be good enough to pull us out of the "ditch" in which Obama has placed us? I don't know- however if not, we need to get rid of him too in 2016.

His electoral college lead is bigger.

Romney basically has to carry every single battleground state.
