REUTERS POLL: Obama Is Going To Trounce Mitt Romney In A Landslide

[Soul Crusher]

One thing I need to mention....Florida isn't going to be an easy win for Romney because 22% of the population is Latino and 16% is blacks.....even though you have a large elderly population, AARP has unleashed a lot of attacks in the area which could undermine a normally Republican stronghold.  McCain lost last go around because he ignored the state.  

The majority of these people are not polled at all as they really don't care.....so Romney needs to pound out the cracker vote for everything that its worth because if he loses that state....it won't make a difference

Dude - your political posts are almost rivaling the absurdity of your claims on airsoft guns

Romney's up in RCP by nearly 2, with the undecideds likely to break for him. Florida's my home; I'm aware of the breakdown. AARP has been launching attacks, because Obama is PLUNGING in that state.

And, if Romney DOES get the bulk of the white vote, Obama will get CRUSHED there, no matter how many blacks or Latinos are in the state (the latter of which, unlike the former, don't lockstep for Democrats).

Latinos have the same basic values as the GOP. The only obstacle is the immigration situation. For a lot of them is a huge issue. But, many will vote for Romney.

Are you on the same planet?

Rasmussen and Suffolk have it TIED in Ohio (48-48 and 47-47, respectively); that ain't a long shot.

North Carolina? PLEASE!! RCP moved that from "Toss up" to Lean Romney weeks ago (the average is over FIVE POINTS); Rasmussen has done the same. Suffolk polling has pulled out of NC (along with Florida and Virginia), because it feels Romney has that all but locked, barring some strange happening within the next 13 days.

The final debate didn't mean JACK. It was foreign policy, nowhere NEAR the top priority of the American people. Even those in the focus groups and polls, who said Obama won that debate, GAVE ROMNEY THE NOD on the economy.

As I stated...North Carolina is out of play.    

Its a game of inches and Romney is still on the 10 yard line.  At this point, I doubt if Romney can make up that type of ground...at the same time, he has to hold Co and Florida as those margins are razor thin.  Its a juggling act for Romney.


If it plays out right...Romney can win theorically with 296 electoral votes as Bush did in 2004.  But its not looking that way right now

By your logic, it's also a juggling act for Obama. The margins are razor thin for him in Ohio and New Hampshire.

Obama is in virtual freefall in the swing states. They've been tilting Romney's way for weeks. If Obama doesn't develop something, beyond a stupid pamphlet with his re-hashed old agenda and boneheaded phrases like "Romnesia", he's going to get stomped on election day.

Yes, that's how Bush took Florida and New Mexico last time....problem this time is that "immigration thing".  Bush wisely didn't go out there and demand them to "self deport" or try to get rid of them.....not to mention that Bush speaks fluent Spanish very well so he was able to influence the Latino vote.  

Romney doesn't have the same advantage.

The full Swing State tracking update offers Rasmussen Reader subscribers a combined view of the results from 11 key states won by President Obama in 2008 and thought to be competitive in 2012. The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. If you do not already have a Rasmussen Reader account, subscribe now.

Platinum Members have access to detailed demographic information.

In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney earns 50% of the vote to Obama’s 46%. Two percent (2%) like another candidate in the race, and another two percent (2%) are undecided.

This is now the fourth time Romney has hit the 50% mark in the combined swing states in the past five days. This survey is conducted on a rolling seven-day basis, and most of the interviews for today’s update were completed before the end of Monday night’s presidential debate. Romney has now held a modest lead for 13 of the last 16 days; Obama was ahead twice, and the candidates ran even once.

Immigration? Obama said he'd pass a comprehensive immigration law (whatever that means) WITHIN HIS FIRST YEAR. He didn't do it, even with a supermajority in the Senate and a near-supermajority in the House.

You will recall Univision BEAT OBAMA OVER THE HEAD with that very fact, to which Obama sheepishly tried to blame his failure on the GOP (lying through his teeth, because the GOP could NOT stop him).

There's no free fall and the lines are pretty much shored up.  I don't think that Romney nor Obama can do much more at this point as the swing voters have pretty much decided....that's why I don't think Romney can all of a sudden win Ohio if he's not leading already

There was still enough Republicans in the Senate to block that immigration law....funny thing is that if Romney gets elected, he'll likely run into the same thing with Obamacare......happens all the time

You're in denial more than an Egyptian. Obama's lead slips by the day. The race in Ohio is effectively TIED, hardly a good position for an incumbent president.

No, there weren't 58 de jure Democrats, 2 de facto Democrats (posing as independents)....THAT'S 60....EXACTLY how we got ObamaCare in the first place.

Plus, in case you forgot, the Supreme Court ruled that ObamaCare is a tax; hence, you don't need a supermajority in the Senate to reverse it.

A Romney win, coupled with a net of at least three Senate seats (the House, contrary to Pelosi's delusions ain't flipping this year), means ObamaCare's goose is cooked.
