Kind of old news now, but if FOX has Obama up by 7 that means their data must have been more overwhelming than even that.
On top of that the Mitt has gone from up 8 in the Conservative Rasmussen Poll to down 2 in about a week. That's a 10 point swing towards Obama in a week for Rasmussen.
Of course my SHOCK POLL headline is mocking Drudge who selectively post poll results to their sheeple on a regular basis.

But, this could be just to fire up the base. What better way to get $$$, than to state you are behind?

(2,307 posts)Do you not feel Limbaugh, O'Riley, Hannity and company telling how grim thing are won't get every right wing, conservative talking about how the country is under attack with democracy as we know it being at risk won't get the base motivated?
We may have to differ on this one because I think this is like putting a match to gasoline.
