Hannity reports Romney leads Obama in several new polls

He cautioned his audience about the coming roller coaster, but said for the first time, polls are showing Romney ahead.

He cited a Fox News poll (they had Obama leading until now); a Rassmussen poll; and a Gallop poll.

when Axlerod said: "{Something to the effect of} Yeah, I read that fox poll and can't help thinking that anyone that knows anything about fox and its polling knows that it is an outlyer ... unsupported by any other polling."

Gallup's model is assuming turnout similar to the 2010 midterms, which is an absurd assumption, Dems always turnout more for Presidential elections, they have in basically every one in the last few decades.

And Ras is well Ras.

He wasn't on the ballot in 2010 and it was real hard to get excited about the people we had running.

that they'll have bitten off more than they can chew if they attempt to steal the election from an incumbent President Obama.

I don't think we're going to have a Kerry or Gore situation. He won't back down and the Supreme Court are between a rock and a hard place; they'd HAVE to let the votes be counted, long as that might take.

There are some tricks just too flagrant to play twice in little more than a decade.

Yes, there are three polls, Fox and Rasmussen (Friday) and Gallup (today), that have Romney up over Obama by only TWO points.

BUT ...

Look at these two polls from today below - one has Obama up NINE points and the other one up FOUR points

General Election: Romney vs. Obama - CNN/Opinion Research - Obama 52, Romney 43 (Obama +9)
General Election: Romney vs. Obama - Reuters/Ipsos - Obama 47, Romney 43 (Obama +4)

So, if I were Hannity I wouldn't be doing much braggin'

When PPP or Quinnipiac or SurveyUSA can show me a poll with Romney leading Obama, that's when I get worried.
