What is this about? Email: "Mitt Romney now leads President Obama 49% to 45%..."

[lexw]

Got this in an email this morning...

"...Dear MoveOn member,

Danger! Mitt Romney now leads President Obama 49% to 45% in the respected Pew Research poll.

And listen to this: Women are the key to this dramatic change, as Obama's election-winning, 18-point lead among women voters was completely wiped out. Absolutely gone.1
It's no wonder, given the stunning media silence lately on the dangers Romney represents for women's rights and health. But we've got a great way to change all that and help get Obama's lead back with women voters.

Scarlett Johansson, Eva Longoria, and Kerry Washington have teamed up with director Rob Reiner to make an absolutely knock-your-socks-off TV ad reminding American women of the terrible consequences of a Romney presidency.

It has the star power to cut through the noise and grab the media's attention, but we need to raise $400,000 to run it during TV shows with lots of women viewers in key swing states like Florida and Ohio. Can you chip in? ..."

1. It's to light a fire under our butt

The polls are swinging back to the President.

2. He's sitting on a 50%+ approval rating but people are voting for Mitt Romney?

It just doesn't make sense.

These polls are all over the place.

I will definitely contribute when I get paid, of course.

3. Poll is OLD

We knew about the Pew poll a few days ago.

4. This is temporary...remember the good job news this morning. Obama still doing good most polls.

5. Plus Romney's wobbling on abortion issues is not included in this poll.

6. "Respected" Pew Poll?

Geez

MoveOn should know better

[TroyD]

11. Pew is a respected pollster actually

It had good numbers for Obama all year.

So we shouldn't attack it just based on one poll.

Let's wait for their next poll. It could be big news for Obama.

12. I wasn't attacking Pew based on one poll

But I'm sure you're right

7. It's about

$$$$$$.

[and-justice-for-all]

8. Attempts to desensatize people...

to make them feel that they have already lost and so they will not even go vote. Its a propaganda tactic, and it should be ignored. Plus, they want more money.

9. Seems like the opposite to me.

They want to motivate people.

10. "We women are concerned about jobs"

"And jobs for our children". I keep seeing that Romney ad all the time in Florida. Blonde woman, who even looks like QUEEN ANN, with her 2 kids.

Subliminal advertising. Nice BLONDE woman and ONLY 2 kids?????
