Mitt Romney has had a tough couple of weeks on the campaign trail -- and it shows in the latest Fox News poll. After a barrage of campaign ads, negative news coverage of his overseas trip and ongoing talk about his tax returns, Romney’s favorable rating and standing in the trial ballot have declined. As a result, President Obama has opened his biggest lead since Romney became the presumptive Republican nominee.

I for one wouldn't be surprised to learn that Fox is cooking the numbers to energize the Repubs. Complacency among the Democrats could have unpleasant results. Of course, there is bound to be a convention bump...

Too bad this poll has been posted already and their +9 sampling skew favoring Democrats is still the same as in the other post.

BTW.... Gallop is even & Rassmussen shows a Romney lead. The two benchmark polling companies that don't skew the sampling.

Got something from a site not hyper-partisan? I won't even bother following a link to a Media Matters article.

The FOX poll has a +9 sample skew.

And I posted the Rassmussen poll numbers today:
