Obama is not a leader pure and simple.

I think it just shows the power of the economy, RI UE rate is still ~10%.

There could be a surprise landslide in the making for Romney.

Holy....heck...RI?

This is news indeed.

Romney will have to expand that insurmountable "blue wall" the dems/Left/media think obama is safe behind.

Among other federal officials, President Obama’s approval rating among Rhode Islanders is 40%

Yet voters supposedly support his BC mandate on the church.

riko, it won't be a surprise. dems are bracing for it. We all know it's coming - a landslide kicking obama out of office.

In Nearby Massachusetts Romney is polling -11 which is a +16 compared to 2008. Rhode Island, demographicly and culturally isn't all that different so I think they have roughly the same numbers in Both states. So a win is just about out of the question, but with both states having a huge lean democrat-indepednant population (MA has 55% unerolled) could be a stumbling block for the president.

My bet: Obama will take RI in November. By a comfortable margin.

He will, but in nearby MA Romney is only down 11, which is a 16 point jump since 2008, RI will fall right into the 10-12% margin for Obama range if Massachusetts falls in about 11% margin for Obama, (No state polls for RI), but thats probably skewed toward Republicans a bit. because the states are similar socially, culturally and demographicly. I just found it suprising Obama wasn't closer to the 51-52% range in RI for job approval.

This is pretty clearly a junk poll since last poll i saw with Chafee had him at a positive approval, its not like he's killed a hooker since then. God knows what sampling this no name push poll used.
