I did hear that the people who were polled were heavily weighted with Democrats. And it was registered voters and not likely voters that were polled. That is my only explanation to this. It costs more money to poll likely voters than registered voters.

Bought and paid for by those - in-the-tank unions.

I'm old so I can't remember which agency released the information, but conservative radio noted that the median income across the nation is down and average of $5,000/year, which doesn't seem like much, unless you're a single parent and needed that money to feed your family.

Perhaps - because

people understand that the failing economy is not just the fault of Obama, it is all government, and they feel that Obama still is the better choice instead of expecting Romney's business tax cuts and companies hiring on that basis will solve the problem, as they have failed in the past. Maybe since earthquakes have risen in ohio with the fracking, folks don't want a drill baby drill president.

Respectfully, I'd suggest that this is not the presidency's - doing. It is ours and not quickly reversible. SM

When most of us reached working age, we were bequeathed a nation where almost everyone who worked full time could afford to care for himself properly and many did much better. During our voting years that all changed, and we bequeath our own children what we have made of what we were given.

IMO, it was pure ignorance and stupidity that brought us to this point. We were not just suckered big time, but were such easy suckers. After all, our nation is wealthier than it's ever been.

Because Voting In Ohio Just Isn't Hard Enough..smAug 10, 2012
Ohio voting just got a little harder, not because early voting has been cut down, and not because of new ID restrictions. That's right. Republicans are doing everything in their power to ensure a win in Ohio. The latest tactic works on a county by county basis. County by county it is decided whether or not to extend hours at the voting sites. Each county has a commission comprised of two dems and two pubs. You would think this would be a good thing to extend hours in this state right? ...
