They ARE biased. They have a democratic bias of about 5% points.

The Rasmussen polls are not liberal biased.

Same old whining from the Dems.

He will not convert votes, nor will Obama. Undecideds are the ones to hope to sway.
But peoples opinions of Romney is that he was some big rich evil villian. Obama has spent hundreds of millions attacking Romney personally, and not his policies, and if his projected image of being a bad guy gets destroyed, then Romney will have no issue convincing people in the middle of the road to vote for him, especially considering Obamas failures.

I'll go with the Nytimes, which still gives Obama a little more than 80% chance of winning..

Ho hum, he'd get some of the undecideds. The rest are gone. 90%+ of American votes were gone weeks ago. On top of that, he needs to detail exactly which major deduction cuts he is going to employ, as $5 trill requires mortgage interest to go away, and the undecideds will figure that out. BTW, I'd agree it should go, but politically, that is suicide.

September was critical, and 100% wasted, which is the reason the astute Scarborough and the like were taking MR to task. He went AWOL when far more undecideds were available.

you seriously expect me to trust a site as a reputable unbiased source when the image at the top is some awful photoshop of Obama around a flock of sheep?

with 7.8 percent unemployed, 14.7 U6, 1.5% GDP growth, being neck and neck is pathetic. Had September not been a flop, he'd be running away with this, even though, like math tells us, the electoral college is far kinder to the Democrats now. Add in, while the census shifted 6 votes in 2010, in 2000, it did if I recall well, twice that. State-to-state movement went down this decade. That harms the GOP long-term.

No matter what happens, no one except Christie could have done better in '12, but just 28 years ago, the GOP was awash in electoral landslides. The hand they have right now is easier to play than either the 80 or 84 hand. You should be interested in the reasons for the underachievement of the party, at the presidential level.
