Ohio 46-43 Obama

2. I'll take it

They probably tried to find a lot of undecided voters to say that "it;'s not near 50%"

[hrmjustin]

6. I thought the same thing.

[Kalidurga]

3. you should have seen the talking heads on Chris Matthews...

Upchuck Todd and some other white guy, said that Romney can still win. I LOL'd. Romney lost this election at "Please proceed, Governor."

[Ebadlun]

11. He lost it when he went to Europe

He lost it with the $10,000 bet.
He lost it with the Ryan pick.
He lost it at the RNC.
He lost it with the Libya showboating.
He lost it with the 47% remark.

He does all this and he's still in it. Obama has one bad night and his polls collapse. What's it all about?

14. The President's support is wafer thin in the middle...

Why? Because the economy still really sucks for many, many Americans... and the President made economic promises the first time around that he was unable to keep. It doesn't matter that the economy would have been a downer for any president... it is just reality.

16. That must be why

the President has been cooking the books again.

BREAKING: Obama "cooks the books" in 41 states to make it look like their unemployment has dropped

15. Obama

Has not brought all the troops home, he has not closed gitmo and the deficit has doubled and not cut in half, 3 things he promised he would do before he got elected last time.
That is what is really hurting him.

[gcomeau]

17. For f*cks sake

The deficit is DOWN. He inherited 1.3 Trillion. Don't spout that right wing fiction about it doubling in here.

[longship]

19. What's hurting the country is the Republicans in Congress.

Who attempt to nullify everything the president or the Democrats in congress propose. No negotiations; no compromise is a stupid way to run a country.

[LisaL]

4. Hey. Even fox news admits Obama is up in OH.

[ProSense]

5. Here is the most significant change:

A Fox News poll of Florida likely voters shows Republican nominee Mitt Romney now tops Barack Obama in the battleground state by 48 percent to 45 percent.

The poll, released Friday, shows an eight-point reversal and a four-point increase for Romney. Last month, he trailed Obama by 44-49 percent (September 16-18, 2012).

<...>

Consider this: Obama tops Romney by one percentage point among women now, down from a 19-point edge last month. And Romney has extended his advantage among married women to 13 points, up from a seven-point edge.

Mitt gained 18 points among women?

[LisaL]

9. They must be really excited to be put in binders.

[ProSense]

13. The poll also shows Romney winning the non-white vote 48 to 45.

The last poll showed Obama winning non-white vote 70 to 24

What's that a 49-point swing?

Guess women weren't the biggest shift.

7. The Wingnut Miami Cubans will make a difference

They are the only Hispanic group that votes Republican.

[JamesL2012]

8. Polls

They mean nothing, wait until nov 6 when obama wins in a land slide.

[doc03]

10. Coming from Fox those are some pretty good numbers n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

12. They want Florida bad. I think that voter registration fraud that was exposed, may

have been part of something bigger. Which is why I wouldn't accept anything from a right-wing source.

[zbdent]

18. Just remember ... Florida's full of older people (many of them probably voting absentee in FL

for their Ohio residence, and in person for their part-time FL residence, which qualifies as their "tax residence&quot ...

and older people usually have land lines, less likely to have cell phones as their main lines.

[Jennicut]

20. Oh no. Even Faux has Ohio for Obama.

Not worried about FL. We don't need it. VA, NH, and CO are much more viable.
