At first projected to be a swing state, Nevada is looking good for Obama. The latest poll has Obama up +6 on Willard

6 points is "crushing"?



Obama can't even get to 50%.



Meanwhile, he "crushed" McCain by 12 points in 2008, double what he's "crushing" him by now.

Actually, the "crushing" is 5 points with the average.

Oh my, the desperation is palpable.

This.

Not to mention that it's PPP - which means Obama is really up by probably only about 1-2 at the most.

Barack Obama continues to be favored to win Nevada again in 2012, but
his position there is a good deal weaker than it was in 2008. Obama leads Romney 48-42.
That's down a touch from our last poll in late March when he was ahead 51-43. And it's
down quite a bit from his 12 point margin of victory in the state in 2008.
A touch = 3 points.

Who did you vote for President in 2008?
John McCain............................................ ....... 41%
Barack Obama............................................. ... 50%
Skewed towards the democrats of course.

So that "crushing" 6 points is likely more like .....2.

Exactly, PPP as we know, leans left.

I'll trade you a Nevada "crush" for a Michigan statistical tie.

This is the 2nd poll showing Michigan tightening up/

Plus....when an incumbent can't get to 50% and has an approval rating below 50% (his was 49% in this poll) in a state, that's far from a "crush."

http://www.publicpolicypolling.com/p...e_NV_61312.pdf

Not to mention...Obama probably really leads by only 1-2 given that this is PPP...and his approval is likely closer to 45% or so given that this is PPP. So...this poll is really better news for Romney than for Obama.

The only thing that's going to get crushed in November is obama and his massive and undeserved ego.
