FOX NEWS POLL: Obama has Edge over Romney in Three Battleground States

[powergirl]

Notice they consider a 7 point lead an "edge." If the tables were turned, we would be hearing about a slaughter by Romney, blah blah blah. Sorry to post a FOX story - but if they are polling like this, it must mean that Obama is ahead by 15. So, clean out your eyeballs after you look at this!


"President Barack Obama has the edge over Republican Mitt Romney in three potentially decisive states in the presidential election.

"Obama tops Romney by seven percentage points among likely voters in both Ohio (49-42 percent) and Virginia (50-43 percent). In Florida, the president holds a five-point edge (49-44 percent).

"Obama’s lead is just outside the poll’s margin of sampling error in Ohio and Virginia, and within the margin of sampling error in Florida.

"The good news for Romney is that among voters who are “extremely” interested in this year’s election, the races are much tighter. Obama is up by just two points with this group in Virginia (49-47 percent), Florida is tied (48-48 percent), and Romney is up by one point in Ohio (48-47 percent).

"Independents are nearly evenly divided in each of the states, as well."

2. LOL. "The good news for Romney is..."

That for a a very small percent of voters he's only losing by a little.

With this kind of "good news," who needs a colonoscopy?

4. Let Fox mislead their base

I say to FOX, go for it...keep misleading your faithful viewers that Romney is looking better in the polls than Obama. Let them feel confident, let them even get over-confident, let them get lax...maybe, just maybe, since you can make it look like Romney is a shoe-in, a few of your faithful base will think they won't have to vote

5. Very good news in all three states.

6. Freepers now think Fox News is biased as well

Ive trolled that swamp before and seen posters dismissing Fox News polls, saying that Fox News loves Obama. As Bill Maher says, right wingers truly live in a bubble. I remember on election day 2008, when Freepers were convinced that all the polls were skewed and biased, and that Gov. Mooselini was gonna carry John-boy to victory. That didn't work out so well. How soon they forget.
