It's that wonderful 1.25% GDP growth from the second quarter of 2012, or the other wonderful news that we lost 395,000 jobs last week, these must be what is sending Obama's numbers over the top.

The news media is purposely not reporting any bad economic news. do you think NBC nightly news will lead off with the pathetic 1.3% GDP growth, or will the slam Romney for his off the cuff comments about the 47% again?

Most get their economic news from the nightly network shows, but the people who produce these programs bend over backward to report as little as possible about the levels of economic deprivation that characterize Mr. Obama’s presidency.

Did you see the story on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams last week about how unemployment rose in more than half the states in August? Of course not, because he didn’t report it.

Speaking in sports metaphors , Obama is like a baseball coach with a historically bad, worst in 100 year, losing streak, he should be fired.

Right as usual, libbies.

UnSkewed Polls -- erasing the bias to show an accurate picture of politics
What a joke. There simply is not over sampling occuring here and the reason there are now more Democratic voters in swing states like Ohio is because more people in Ohio are now identifying themselves as Democratic voters. You can't just close your eyes and pretend that's not true; the number of registered Republicans really is going down and the number of registered Democrats really is going up. That's just a fact. Pretending that isn't true will not help you win elections and at best it is just self delusion to think you can ignore the problem and think it will go away.

The numbers are confirmed by ALL polling agencies including Fox News' polls. Are you actually dumb enough to claim that Fox is also in the bag for liberals and is secretly tampering with its polls to favor Obama? Is right wing Rasmussen also doing the same thing? Are you really that delusional? You're going to have to give up the ghost and accept the facts here, my brain addled wing nut friend.

NO. Every vote for Johnson is a vote that was against Obama and doesn't get to Romney who could win if he got those votes like you want.

Well, yeah, but Rasmussen doesn't try to make sure that they have more Democrats involved in their poll like so many of the others do. Also, the Obama campaign hasn't made idle threats at them about what has to be done like they did with Gallup.

Maybe some of those polls done for the media, which is most of them, give the results the media wants to push.

Nobody is actually HAPPY with Obama... we are sitting here practically BEGGING for a good reason NOT to vote for Obama, but your pathetic candidate isn't giving us one.
It is pretty hard for him to give you anything when the media won't report what he does say but only what the Obama campaign approves of from them.

I guess it is also fun to you to know there are millions more foreclosures coming , interest rates for seniors are nearly zero on their retirement money creating NO income.. they will be broke and probably will need food stamps to survive as their principal erodes. Unemployment is high, gas is high, food is high so you think that is fun?

Because we don't want the president to just win the election we want him to crush and destroy the most traitorous bunch of Know nothings there has ever been in the history of the nation.
