Mitt's winning Ohio

[Comrade Crapski]

Face the music, moonbats. America is sending the communist racebaiter back under his rock in Chicago.

Two new Ohio polls came out yesterday after my Ohio post, from from Gravis Marketing and PPP, both of which point to a razor-thin race in the most coveted swing state. A closer look at each poll shows just how much Romney has gained since the debates, and why he would be absolutely thrilled if these polls were accurate on Election Day.

The poll from Gravis Marketing shows Obama and Romney tied at 47 percent. But that’s as good as it gets for Obama. Among the most interesting tidbits from the poll:

Romney leads Obama by 19 percent among independents, 52–33, and holds 92 percent of his base compared to Obama’s 87 percent. Obama is underwater in job approval, 44–50, and independents disapprove of him overwhelmingly, 31–58. And the poll has a Democratic advantage of 9 percent, which is a 4 percent jump from 2008 — no one believes that Democrats can match their 2008 turnout advantage, let alone almost double it.

PPP (a Democratic firm) released their new poll yesterday showing Obama only up one point, 49 to 48. Just a week ago PPP had the race at 51–46 for Obama. But the four-point gain for Romney is even more impressive when you look at the poll’s findings:

This week’s poll has a Democrat sample advantage of 8 percent; last week’s advantage was 4. Romney gained four points on Obama in a week despite the sample’s having four percentage points more Democrats. Romney leads with independents by 7 percent, up from a 5 percent last week. Obama’s approval is underwater at 48–50, and independents disapprove of him by a 41–54 margin. Last week Obama was in positive approval ground at 50–48, and independents disapproved by a much smaller 45–50 margin. Romney’s favorability has gone from a minus-6 margin last week (45–51) to a plus-2 this week (49–47). Trust on the economy went from Obama plus-5 last week (51–46) to plus-4 in Romney’s direction this week (51–47). Independents jumped from Romney plus-5 last week to Romney plus-15 this week.

These two polls highlight what many saw in the second debate: Romney may have lost the overall debate, but he won handily on the issues of the economy, debt, and taxes. While Democrats were riding high this week after Obama narrowly won the face-off, Romney was quietly solidifying support from voters by commanding the issues that matter most. Based on these two polls, the only way Obama can win Ohio is if he finds a way to greatly surpass 2008 turnout with Democrats, which at the moment seems like an impossible task. If these polls hold, it won’t be long before the state Romney was declared dead in knocks down the last pillar of inevitability that Obama has left.

If one side is going to force the narrative to forget the past and how we got to where we are, the other side needs to bring the past back.

I read Gary Johnson did really well in some parts of Ohio.

Then the fact-checkers checked the Rawmoney ad lies & I felt a little better but still wasn't convinced the propaganda campaign would fail. I wasn't anywhere near the Republi bubble & was biting my nails on election night.

Florida to finally finish counting ballots today

8:22AM EST November 10. 2012 -

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Florida will soon finish counting its presidential ballots and it appears likely that Barack Obama will get some padding for his re-election win.

The state's 67 counties have until noon Saturday to finish their counts and report them to the secretary of state.

As of Saturday morning, the president led Republican challenger Mitt Romney 49.9% to 49.2%, a difference of 64,000 votes. Romney would have to cut that lead to 42,000 votes for there to be a recount. The winner will get Florida's 29 electoral votes.

Obama has already clinched re-election, leading in the Electoral College vote 303 to 206.

A win would give Obama victories in eight of the nine swing states, losing only North Carolina. He won Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Virginia, Colorado and Nevada.

Do you really think Obama winning is a good thing? Really??? IMO, it was a sad day for America because it shows how reliant or nation has become on the federal government. So enjoy your "victory." I hope it was worth it in the long run. I really do...

They think they're gonna get free goodies. Meanwhile, a wave of layoffs has happened since the election.

I know you guys keep saying that, but that's the same mentality that everyone freaked out about with regard to Romney's 47 percent comment. There are plenty of people who voted for Obama who never have any need or desire for "free goodies." Until that mentality is abandoned, conservatives are going to find themselves more and more in the minority.

Obama should have been crushed in this election, provided the GOP had it within itself to not only find a candidate worth a damn, but to fully embrace him as well. The GOP failed on both counts.

So essentially, we have the Republicans to blame for Obama in office the next four years.

Don't forget demographics and social issues also forced many voters into the Dem's column.

Absolutely & without a micro-particle of doubt. Righties have a hard time understanding that because they've been fed a steady line of bullshit for a very long time. Righties need to go back to the basics if they want to understand this type of reasoning. Stuff like simple arithmetic & basic political science. For instance.... Righties have been led to believe that Obama's tax plan is a Marxist socialist communist conspiracy to destroy America. But when one actually looks at the arithmetic & political science of it, it turns out that his tax plan offer is 98% Bush & 2% Clinton. Break out of the bubble, me Righties.... the real world awaits you.....

Your post shows how reliant you've become on FOX/Republican talking points.
