CNN Poll: Obama holds 7-point lead over Romney
Posted by
CNN Political Unit

Washington (CNN) - Mitt Romney's unfavorable rating is up, most Americans think the Republican presidential challenger favors the rich, and the public no longer believes that the economy will get better if Romney is elected, according to a new national poll.

<...>

It all adds up to a seven point advantage for President Barack Obama over the former Massachusetts governor, with 52% of registered voters questioned in the survey saying that they'd vote to re-elect the president and 45% backing Romney.

"Among independent voters, the poll indicates President Obama has a 53%-42% lead," CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said...While Romney's favorable rating has remained steady (47% now compared to 48% in July), his unfavorable rating has jumped from 42% last month to 48% now. The president's 56%-42% favorable-unfavorable rating now is little changed from July.

Among independents, the poll indicates Romney's image has taken a beating. In May, only 40% of independents had an unfavorable view of Romney. Now, 52% of independents have a negative view of him.

5. All The Money In The World Can't Overcome These Problems

I don't care how many billions they spend to try to force him on us, Obama will have enough to counteract. You just can't overcome this type perception, I don't believe it's possible.

6. We've heard a lot about the horse race

But it seems like we're seeing an emerging pattern, especially with the h2h national polls.

7. Democrats should be

thinking ahead. The oligarchy will have corrected the disastrous Rmoney choice by 2016. I shudder to think who that puppet will be.

8. Bain attacks worked brilliantly

If Mitt is losing independents on the economy... this race is over.

[Liberal_in_LA]

10. he doesn't even mention the name "Bain" when he campaigns on his so called experience.

Dems have made it a bad word.

11. Keep the conversation lively people.

After much consideration, even the wackiest of the whack has to admit there's something nasty about Mitt Romney. Maybe they'll just stay home and be mad at the GOP for putting such an asshole up for nomination.

Whatever it is, keep talking to your friends, neighbors, family, any and every one with half an openmind.
