That was clear, all except the part about the low poll numbers. They may not be through the roof, but they are the higher of the two candidates as of this point.

Not according to Rasmussen, whose poll was the most accurate in the 2008 election. Today, Rasmussen has Romney up 48-45.

It saddens me that Obama is polling above 10%. Add $5 trillion to the debt, and he has higher unemployment to show for it. How much more of a failure can one be on the economy?

But Zimmy is right, most polls have Obama ahead. However, from what I have seen, if you read the fine print in most of those polls, they sample more Democrats than Republicans.

Jim, you know it is the electoral college that matters. Polls don't mean much at this point. However, you are right about the accuracy of rasmussen and it's polls put Obama at about 310 electoral votes;safely 246, plus in the toss ups he is up in Ohio, Florida, Va, and tied in CO. He's not the one worried by the polls, as was implied in an earlier post.
