I guess this is no real big surprise.

The bigger concern is Florida.

Actually, the bigger concern for Obama is undecided voters.

They generally break about 80/20 in favor of the challenger.

Incumbent Rule


With the FL RCP average showing 7.8% of FL voters undecided (typically 9%), Romney can expect to pick up 6.24% of these voters while Obama will receive only 1.56%. The 4.68% advantage Romney can expect should be enough to win the state.


This is why no one has ever won a second term with a Gallup approval rating below 53%.

Bush squeaked out a narrow victory with a 53% approval rating in 2004.

"Rules" are meant to be broken.

Wow!

The poll of 576 Jews.......

576 Jews out of 5,275,000 here in America........

Not even Comedy Central would think this was a valid poll.........

This is not good news for Obama, given that 78%! of Jews voted for him in 2008.

Local Exit Polls - Election Center 2008 - Elections & Politics from CNN.com

So, according to this Gallup poll, Obama has lost 14% of his support among Jews and his supporters are excited about it?!?
