Swing and a miss. lol thinkprogress
The Dems represent the Have-Nots, the Repugs the Haves, iow, the 99% vs 1%.
Blacks and Latinos are overwhelmingly at the bottom of the 99% and were hurt much worse by the Banksters' Great Depression than the whites.
I figure most of the Latinos have figured out the Repugs don't give shit about them or the blacks. The blacks certainly have.
Wild Cobra calling Homeland Security "politically correct" has to make this an instant classic thread.
Obama leads Romney in four swing states
New polls in four battleground states show President Obama holding a lead of 5 to 7 points over Republican nominee Mitt Romney, reinforcing the national surveys that indicate that the incumbent gained ground with his convention last week.
Of the four, Obama’s largest lead comes in the critical state of Ohio, where he leads Romney 50% to 43% among likely voters, according to the latest NBC/Wall St. Journal/Marist University poll. The survey also polled likely voters in Florida, where Obama led 49% to 43%, and Virginia, where he led 49% to 44%.
In a separate survey by New Hampshire’s WMUR-TV, Obama led Romney 45% to 40% in that state.
Predict a winner: Updated battleground states map
The polls in all four states were taken in the days immediately following the Democratic nominating convention, so they may have caught Obama at a high point. Often – although not always – candidates gain ground after their conventions, then see their support erode in subsequent weeks.
Still, the results highlight the challenge that Romney faces. To gain the 270 electoral votes he needs for election, he would need to win most of the states that the two campaigns consider battlegrounds. Currently, Obama appears to have at least a small lead in all those states except for North Carolina, where recent polls have shown the two neck and neck.
The new swing-state polls show two reasons why Obama has maintained that lead: Voters continue to view him more favorably than Romney, and Romney has been unable to persuade swing-state voters that he would be better able to handle the economy.
The gap in favorability is particularly large in Ohio, where 51% of likely voters have a favorable impression of Obama while only 40% feel that way about Romney. In other states, Romney comes closer to parity with Obama, but only in Virginia does the Republican nominee get a net-favorable rating, 46% to 45%, compared with 53% to 43% for Obama.
Asked which candidate could best handle the economy, Ohio voters, again, have the most negative view of Romney. In that state, likely voters favor Obama on the economy by 48% to 44% for Romney.
The Obama campaign has spent the summer bombarding Ohio voters with advertisements criticizing Romney’s business and economic record. In particular, they have emphasized the president’s decision to bail out the U.S. automobile industry, which Romney opposed. The state has a large number of jobs tied to the car and truck business.
In national surveys, Romney used to enjoy majority support on the question of who could better handle the economy, but he’s lost that margin since the Democratic convention. Support on that question is key for his campaign since Obama gets much higher marks on other issues, including who could best handle foreign policy.

Gecko would handle the economy better? :lol
Willard is fucked.
Poll Finds Obama Is Erasing Romney's Edge on Economy
President Obama has taken away Mitt Romney's longstanding advantage as the candidate voters say is most likely to restore the economy and create jobs, according to the latest poll by The New York Times and CBS News, which found a modest sense of optimism among Americans that White House policies are working.
the Democratic Party is viewed more favorably than the Republican Party. The poll also found that more likely voters give an edge to Mr. Obama on foreign policy, Medicare and addressing the challenges of the middle class. The only major issue on which Mr. Romney held an advantage was handling the federal budget deficit.
:lol (with his and Ryan's plans increasing the deficit by $5T! :lol People are so stupid )
the presidential race has taken on a new sense of urgency, the poll found, with enthusiasm increasing among voters. A plea for patience, which Mr. Obama delivered at the Democratic convention, appears to be resonating with some voters.
The poll found that 51 percent of those voters supported Mr. Obama and Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., while 43 percent supported Mr. Romney and Representative Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin.

Fox News Censors Their Own Polls / Banishes All Reporting On Fox Nation If Results Show Obama Ahead
Most recently, the Fox News poll published yesterday gave Obama a pronounced lead of 48% to 43% for Romney. It included a 12 point swing in Obama's favor by Independents, and the GOP advantage in enthusiasm has evaporated.
In virtually every category of voter attitude Obama held a lead:
On foreign policy (+15),
education (+14),
Medicare (+11),
health care (+9),
terrorism (+8),
immigration (+4),
taxes (+3),
making the country a better place to live (+2),
honesty (+11),
steady leader (+10 ),
the right experience (+7),
keeping promises (+4),
strong moral values (+2).
Romney led only in helping small businesses (+2) and
understanding capitalism (+25). :lol
There has been no mention of this poll on the Fox News community web site, Fox Nation. And this is not the first time that's occurred. Last month the Fox Nationalists posted the results of a Rassmussen poll that put Romney in the lead. The article neglected to say that three other polls released the same day had Obama ahead, and one of those was a Fox News poll that put Obama up by nine points.

Challenged on Medicare, G.O.P. Loses Ground
Maria Rubin is one of the coveted independent voters in this swing state - so independent that she will not say whether she is voting for President Obama or Mitt Romney. She does share her age (63) and, more quickly, her opinion on Medicare: "I'm not in favor of changing it, or eliminating it."
Her attitude speaks directly to one of the biggest challenges facing the Republican ticket this year: countering the Democrats' longstanding advantage as the party more trusted to deal with Medicare.
In the 2010 Congressional races, successful Republicans believed that they had finally found a way to do that, by linking the program's future to Mr. Obama's unpopular health insurance overhaul and accusing Democrats of cutting Medicare to pay for it. This summer Mr. Romney resumed the offensive, eventually joined by his running mate, Representative Paul D. Ryan.
Initially, polls suggested that the Republican strategy was working. Democrats fretted that Mr. Romney would win the retiree-heavy Florida and increase his support nationwide among older voters, who lean Republican anyway. David Winston, a Republican pollster, wrote a month ago of "a structural shift in the issue" that left the parties in "a dead heat" and Mr. Obama unable to mount an effective response.
But in recent weeks Mr. Obama and his campaign have hit back hard, and enlisted former President Bill Clinton as well, to make the case that the Romney-Ryan approach to Medicare would leave older Americans vulnerable to rising health care costs. Now their counterattack seems to be paying off.
The latest New York Times/CBS News poll, conducted over the last week, found that Mr. Obama held an advantage over Mr. Romney on the question of who would do a better job of handling Medicare. That is consistent with other recent polls and is a shift from just last month, before the parties' national conventions, when the two men were statistically tied on the issue.
At the heart of the conflict is the proposal backed by Mr. Romney and Mr. Ryan to change the way Medicare works in an effort to drive down health care costs and keep the program solvent as the population ages. Under their plan, retirees would get a fixed annual payment from the government that they could use to buy traditional Medicare coverage or a private health insurance policy. Supporters say the change would hold expenses down by introducing more competition into the system.
Critics say the fixed payments might not keep up with rising insurance costs and could leave older Americans facing cutbacks in care or paying more out of their own pockets. Democrats contend that Medicare's rising costs can be held down within the existing system.

Maybe Americans aren't as stupid and ignorant as Repugs think they are. :lol
Bush got about 40% of the Hispanic vote in one of his elections. That's as good as it gets for Republicans. It's around 70% to 30% for Obama over Romney. This whole electing a new people thing is going to work out very well for the left; they will be able to rule over Brazil 2.0.
I saw a Michael Moore video on HuffPost a couple of weeks ago and he said something fascinating. According to him Obama won the 2008 popular vote by 10 million votes, but the only age demographic he won was 18-29 year olds. He lost to all age groups over 30. He also lost the white vote.
As history clearly shows, great civilizations are always run by a very diverse group of brilliant 20 somethings. Works every time...
