45% 52%
Thursday, October 18, 2012 – 12:05 p.m.
Is the Presidential race breaking out?
The answer is it very well could be!
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney has opened up a 52% to 45% lead over President Barack Obama in the Gallup seven day tracking poll of likely voters.
A seven percentage point lead.
For the first time one candidate has eclipsed the 50% threshold in Gallup’s likely voter polling. An important event in the campaign.
In the Rasmussen Three-Day Tracking Poll of likely voters, Romney is leading 49% to 47%.
In the Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP six-day Tracking poll of voters, Romney as climbed into a tie with the President at 46%.
Romney has established clear momentum, with polling samples taken after the Vice-Presidential and second Presidential debates now being added into the weighting.
If the trend continues one can expect the most battleground states to follow suit.

Not so. Read the NYTIMES piece entitled : ROmney’s idea of Equal Rights.
Most of the woment responding are fed up with Mitt. He has managed to alienate so many groups of voters that only the die hard republicans will vote for him.
I was astonished that hardly anyone had a kind word for this man. The basic complaint was that he was out of touch with most of us. WHite male protestants and white male moromons are no longer the majority. Wake up Mittens, we are no longer in the 1950s
I think the NY Times is out of touch with most of Americans. Romney is ahead, no questions about that. Just accept it.
See you Nov 7
Romney is a clown and a predator
Get used to it..PRESIDENT ROMNEY. Americans (not on welfare) are tired of this unqualified, affirmative action president. WE need a REAL leader. Obama is done.
Q. Why did Obama change his name from Barry to Barack?
A. He thought Barry sounded too American.
Q: What do you get when you cross a crooked politician with a crooked lawyer?
A: Barack Obama.
Obama is unelectable… oh, forgot, he already is prez.
Romney won’t state where he stands on issues,why? He can’t remember what he said. Fortunately, tapes exist but he is too stupid to look at them.
Mittens think it alright for employers to tell their employees how to vote. Get used to you say? No way..all you people celebrating freedom are going to be sorry. Remember that saying: be careful what you wish for.
Wake up, he’s part of the Mormon agenda. The rest of us are part of the 47% he doesn’t care about.
Who wants Mittens running our foreign policy…he can’t get along with allies.
He’s a liar.
Get used to it libtards, welfare trash, parasite democrats…..PRESIDENT ROMNEY.
Hobo’s, Bums, the Homeless are my peoples, I Love them all, a mere dollar brings a smile to their faces.
Eat drink and be merry.

You are an idiot!
You think by spewing hate, then identifying yourself with Romney will fool people and make them turn away from Romney and run to OBAMA?!!
LOL– Typical Obama liberal tactics…
@11 Romney isn’t running away from his record. His terms as Governor of Mass was very successful, he touted them during the debate. It is Obama that is running from his record as fast as he can….unfortunately, it is hanging on like toilet paper to his shoe and he cannot escape.
Even the Salt Lake Tribune now endorses Obama, Romney is a flip flop
.romney is there…..you can sticK a fork in obama, he’s done.
ROMNESIA…oh yeah, i didn’t mean that. Romney is a nowwhere man,,too stupid to remember his lies. God help the world if he gets elected. Even the Mormon newspaper in Salt Lake City endorses Obama. Why? They know him better than anyone and he SMELLS like a dead fish
