Yeah, you heard it right from the Right Wing Conservative News Channel's mouth. Had to post this one after reading a post from the Righties on how dismal it looks for Obama's Re-election. Note, much of the bounce is from the Independent Voters.
Romney's in a freefall and spiraling out of control. His campaign counted on having to run on just being anti-Obama. Never occurred to Romney that the spotlight of the campaign would also be falling on him. Many people do not like what they see and it's relflected in the polls.
The president received a modest convention bounce, but that's now gone. On the day the conventions began, Obama was up by two points. Now the numbers are essentially back to that starting point with the president leading by a point. See daily tracking history.
When “leaners” are included, it’s Romney 48% and Obama 47%. Leaners are those who initially indicate no preference for either candidate but express a preference for one of them in a follow-up question.
Obama leads Romney, 50 percent to 43 percent. That matches his lead from the April 21-26 period, right after the general election began as Romney virtually locked up the Republican nomination.
Obama's 7-point lead is up from 6 points on Tuesday. Romney dropped a point day to day.
Obama's approval rating is also up in the latest daily tracking numbers. His approval rating hit 51 percent, above the 50-percent threshold that usually ensures re-election for incumbents. His disapproval rating is also down a point to 42 percent.
Let's also take a look at the Demographics of the FOX News Poll shall we?
It's of REGISTERED VOTERS, not LIKELY VOTERS
Both Gallup and Rasmussen agree that Likely Voters is the most accurate.
Next, lets look at the sample in the FOX News Poll.....
42% Democrats / 36% Republicans / 19% Independent
That's skewed in favor of Democrats by 6 points so as I said...it's a dead heat.
