Obama has no choice but to go negative, it's not like he can run on his policies.

Democrats are desperate and will be directing the most vicious, hate filled campaign in American history. Of course the uneducated rubes that make up their voter base will fall for it like they always do.

If the electoral map looks anything like Clinton,Gore,Kerry,2008...Obama can one-shot kill Romney by winning Florida alone lol.

Romney Bain Capital Attacks Weaken Him In Swing States, Priorities USA Action Poll Finds

Mitt Romney's Bain Capital business experience is increasingly turning into a political liability, according to a swing-state poll released today by Priorities USA Action, the super PAC supporting President Barack Obama.

The survey, conducted by Democratic pollsters Global Strategy Group and the Garin-Hart-Yang Research Group on behalf of the super PAC, supports growing evidence that voters are less likely to vote for Romney based on what they are seeing and hearing about his tenure at private equity firm Bain Capital. Larger polls late last month first showed the shift toward Obama that experts attributed to the president's attacks on Romney's business career.

Among voters polled from battleground states Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, 37 percent said Romney's business experience would make them less likely to vote for him, compared with 27 percent who responded that it would make them more likely to vote for him. Another 58 percent of respondents said they feel Romney's priority as CEO was to earn millions for himself and his investors, irrespective of the consequences for jobs and employees. The poll adds fresh proof that Obama's attacks on Bain Capital are working, despite criticism from Democratic leaders and prominent Obama backers.

The Priorities USA Action memo describing the poll noted that the super PAC has run advertising in 11 media markets across the five battleground states where voters were polled. In those markets, 40 percent of voters said Romney's record at Bain Capital makes them less likely to vote for him.

The results could spell serious problems for Romney, who touts his business experience as a primary reason why he is better suited to steer the economy than Obama. The findings also shed light on Team Romney's inability to adequately defend against the Bain attacks, beyond calling them a distraction from the president's economic record.

And I'll continue to my point that none of the polling being done now matters and nobody is really going to be paying attention to this entire process until September.
Its still July and unless one of these guys is found with the body of a dead hooker nothing matters that is happening now.

There's a greater chance Romney is the one with the dead hooker

but we'll have to wait for a CNN poll to see what the voters think

It's silly to say the polling doesn't matter now. You have to look at it as a baseline and project what is needed for it to change in the next four months and ask yourself how much change is plausible barring highly unlikely dead hooker in the garage-type scenario. Romney would need a roaring comeback to even pull off a skin-of-the-teeth win if you look at the current electoral map. He'd need 89 out of 136 tossup electoral votes.

Out of those 136 tossup electoral votes, do you realize that Obama is ahead in every single one of the swing states right now except for Missouri, which is only 10 electoral votes? If the election was held tomorrow, Romney would probably lose in an electoral landslide, 347 to 191. Mitt Romney is a shytty candidate and there's nothing he can possibly do to define and sell himself to the American people in the next four months to make up that stagger.

But whatever. Think this election is close and Romney has a chance if you want. You'll see soon enough.
