Looks like the swelling in the Romney bump is going down

http://www.gallup.com/poll/150743/Obama-Romney.aspx

Obama 50, Romney 45


These are the results when registered voters are asked: "Suppose the presidential election were held today. If Barack Obama were the Democratic Party's candidate and Mitt Romney were the Republican Party's candidate, who would you vote for Barack Obama, the Democrat or Mitt Romney, the Republican?" Those who are undecided are further asked if they lean more toward Obama or Romney and their leanings are incorporated into the results. Each seven-day rolling average is based on telephone interviews with approximately 3,050 registered voters; Margin of error is ±2 percentage points. Results from April 15 through May 6 are based on five-day rolling averages with approximately 2,200 registered voters each; Margin of error is ±3 percentage points. Editorial note: Due to a technical issue, the May 1-5 data point is not displayed at this time.

looking for at this stage. If it widens just a little more, look for the Romney big money fat cats to cut back on their support for his campaign.

Horse race,so their manufacturing one. Willard is toast,he has no soul,period. Any one who advocates more war in the middle east,is either stupid or just plain ignorant maybe both. I know the Military-Industrial-Complex wants this,but the Army is livid,they are stretched to thin and worn out. Watch and see,our kids will be out by spring if Mr Obama gets reelected.
