Mitt Romney is building a huge lead over President Barack Obama among the vital independent voters who are likely to decide November’s election, a new Fox News poll shows.
The two men are tied in the survey, each receiving 46 percent support, but Romney now holds a 13-percentage point lead over the president among voters who say they are not tied to either party.
That is more than double the lead that the presumptive GOP candidate had with independents just two weeks ago in a similar poll. When the question was asked in an earlier poll in March the two candidates were tied among independents.
This is where the election will be won or lost...with the Independent voters.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again: These polls mean nothing at this point. The general election campaign hasn't even begun. Independents typically don't make up their minds until closer to the election. Don't let people keep pulling your chain.

Correct. I wish people would stop believing polls so much, they can and are manipulated and one can always find a poll that supports their POV or wishes. As an Independent and knowing more than a couple I would say the poll never came to the North Texas area, heck even most Reubs here do not like Romney. There is only ONE poll that counts and that one takes place in November and all registed voters can take part in that one.

Polls are ever changing and of course they are only an indicator, but there is a reason they are done to begin with...They are a pretty good indicator of the current trends. Sometimes, people don't like the trends, sometimes I don't even, but they do tell us a lot whether we like it or not. I am not a novice to politics, I understand polling and it's limitations and usefulness.
