Fresh in via Twitter: a new ABC/Washington Post poll out today shows Romney favorability ratings at 35 favorable, 47 unfavorable, making him the first Presidential nominee in 28 years to be underwater on his favorability rating.

1. Couldn't happen to a better person n/t

2. Thought we had a thread showing him leading Obama by 3%. That was disturbing.

That he's getting 37% is almost as disturbing. With him selling off tickets to his inauguration 9 months in advance, it makes one wonder what trick they're up to this time for October. A few thousand people gettting killed wouldn't put that crew off one bit. Because their policies are killing people now.

3. One poll today has Romney by 2, another has Obama by 9.

The one having Romney in the lead is Gallup, though, so I wouldn't read too much into that just yet.

You know what the most telling part is though? That only 35% of people think Mitt Romney's not a big bag of flaming dog crap, and yet there's another 10 percentage points or so who will vote for him anyway.

4. That's scary stuff there. The contagion is spreading.
