Wow, that's great! We are probably going to see more and more of this now!

Great to see our nominee winning this critical state.

Lol's. I will be surprised if Obamney wins any of the real southern states. If he does it will be by a slim margin.

About 800,000 votes in a handful of swing states separated winning from losing in 2008. VA will be a key state...good to see Romney up here.

When an incumbent can't get over 50%, you know he's in real trouble.

And to think, basically Mitt and obama are tied, even with ALL the bad press about the GOP primary and Mitt being so "out of touch" (a media meme).

Polls are crap this far out, wait a few months.

Oh, you have to LOOK deeper than that.

Take the new ABC/WaPo poll that has obama @ 51%.

Class is in session;

This is a good poll....for ROMNEY.

Here's why;

ABC had to use a party ID chasm of 11 points in favor of democrats in order to get that number.

Now, obama won by 7 in 2008. Then of course we had the 2010 election and the generic ballot, that gives most pollster their party ID figures is tied or has republicans ahead.

But no, ABC/WaPo decided to use a totally skewed number in order to "help" obama and misleads people...like you...into believing he's doing marvelous.

Do note their last poll in the series;

3/10/2012 had obama @ 46% approval, 50% disapproval

USING

a party Id advantage of 4 points for democrats (still skewed but not as bad as 11 points for this poll).

Just think if they were using CORRECT party ID numbers, what obama's match up with Romney would look like.

That's just one example of how the media/pollsters are trying to fool people like you.
