Romney leads 51% to 45% among the much larger group of voters who plan to vote on Election Day, Nov. 6.
Maybe there is hope for America! It's time for Mr. Change to take a bus back to his homeland.

Voted for Romney as well....not my FIRST choice, but most certainly the lesser of the evils......maybe it would be more correct to say I voted AGAINST Obama vs FOR Romney.....

Why, up until the 2008 general election 100% of white voters cast votes for a white prez candidate. You saying they were all racists?

OFA, ORGANIZING FOR AMERICA, has been working the last four years. Many of their 2008 offices never closed and they have been actively building a activist and volunteer network. While you teabagger goons were taking headline and fillerbustering everything you were being snookered by an organizing effort never seen before in American politics.

Don't confuse OFA with Obama for America, they are allied but NOT structurally the same.

I wish this was true, but when are people going to realize, regardless of what side you are on, no votes will be counted until election day or even the following day..Exit polls are not accurate and I have never seen one done prior to the election for the same reason; results can influence voters who have not yet gone to the polls. so, what is being said can be taken with a grain of salt.

Being these results are based off the Gallup daily tracking results, I wouldn't trust them.

Heck Gallup is at the bottom of my "trust" list due to the stastical craziness with their method (with wild swings favoring Obama or Romney depending on the day).

here is my feelings on the race:

We have 2 choices and I am not basing this on my leanings (right or left) On one side we have a candidate who was not prepared for the job, knows nothing about business and has not solved the problems but he thought he could. he also can not work with both sides, who is at fault has nothing to do with this. He just can't. Our economic concerns should be number 1 at this time. We have another candidate that has a lot of business experience and has proven, when he was a governor, he can work with both sides. To me, it seems obvious giving candidate number 2 a chance is the only was to go. If he fails, we can fire him in 2016.

You should educate yourself on this "governor that worked with both sides", I don't think 800 plus veto overrides is working with others. Mittens is a one term governor for a reason, he is despised in mass.

As for being a business man, being a vulture picking off the wealth of weak companies and discarding the carcass isn't being successful. Greed does NOT equal success. Stamping out ppl's jobs and screwing others isn't building, it is tearing down. Mittens is what is wrong with America.
