Pew poll has Romney leading

GOP optimism rises on poll showing Romney ahead of Obama





By Michael O'Brien, NBC News





A new national poll released Monday prompted wagging tongues in Washington for its result, which showed Mitt Romney leading President Barack Obama on the heels of last week's presidential debate.

A poll conducted by the Pew Research Center found Romney leading Obama, 49 to 45 percent, among likely voters. That sort of result would mark a remarkable reversal in fortunes for Romney, who's trailed Obama in most national polls to date.

The Pew poll, if nothing else, offers confirmation of Romney's strong debate performance last week against Obama. Sixty-six percent of registered voters said in the poll that they thought Romney had done a better job in the debates, compared with 20 percent who said the same of the president.

Pew today showed a 9 point gain after the debate, and Gallop showed gains in all swing states. Romney may have taken the lead in Florida. However, he needs to take Ohio......and he does not have much of a chance in Ohio, but these polls were taken immediately after the President did not challenge Romney's half truths......now after Obama has responded for a couple of days, the Gallop showed him five points up....Iowa....he gained votes. I think the polls are generally accurate, and I think the President hurt himself in the debate, but as I said before the debate......people know Romney....they will not vote for Romney, and a five percent lead with voting already happening....but Sec of State in Ohio, is firing election officials who are opening the polls as the Supreme Court has instructed.....lies, voter suppression, and the polls moving back in the president's favor....this will not even be close, and all the games will not stop people from voting.

Fact check also found quite a few of Obama's statements to be "half lies" as you call them. So I guess it was a wash....or was it?

Not when the platform as written will cost Americans 7 trillion dollars over a decade. He ran from this central platform which is his written platform.....500 billion lost revenue from this government giving wealthy people the vast majority of the wealth. As low wattage voters get all warm and fuzzy thinking that cuts in funding of government will take the freeloaders money away.....well it is mind boggling because this country is have our bones picked clean, and the half truth is that this is the core concept which America must recognize......Romney is the candidate for wealth transfer.....from us to them....class warfare......there will only be wealthy and poor in the very near future.....so these are not little white lies he is peddling.....he is pathological, and sadly immediately after the debate people bought into the show....but Romney made tactical mistake not hammering his false message immediately after the debate.....Obama got out and made fun of the lies....Romney stayed quiet for two days....and the result was gallop now has it exactly where it was before the debate....about 5 points.......you can call a duck a rabbit, but when it starts quacking, swimming, and can fly......well you have Romney.

If Romney said it was dark outside at night, seaoat would call that a lie.

Who says that the polls aren't still skewed? Perhaps Romney is doing even better than the present polls show
