CNN Poll of Polls: All tied up between Obama and Romney

[el_em_en_oh]

Washington (CNN) – It's basically all knotted up between President Barack Obama and presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, according to an average of three national surveys released over the past 24 hours.

A CNN Poll of Polls compiled and released Wednesday morning indicates that, on average, 47% of registered voters in the three surveys say they back Obama, with 45% supporting Romney, the former Massachusetts governor who is making his second bid for the White House. With Obama's two-point margin over Romney less than the sampling error of the surveys, it's fair to say that the race can be considered a dead heat.

The three surveys are from NBC News/Wall Street Journal (May 16-20), ABC News/Washington Post (May 17-20), and Gallup's daily tracking poll (May 15-21).

As the CNN Poll of Polls is an average of other surveys, there is no sampling error for the results.

Delusional...

I believe it's going to be like this until election day. I also believe the votes will be VERY close. In the end Obama (fingers crossed) will win. Then he'll get 4 more yrs to complete nhis task and show results..All partisan aside he (IMO) is the best man gor the job. Our country is in bad shape but It could be worse.You gotta admit he has made improvements...Maybe nit as much as we anticipated from his promises BUT there is improvement. We can only go up from where we are as a country. If he gets 4 more years and the republicans just bite the bullet and work with him and shed "the party of no" persona, our country will turn out great...


As for the media, It's all in delivery for me. I see bias from all news outlets...

The fanatics on the far right like to claim the media leans towards the left.
This is a complete falsehood.
There is no left mainstream media in the US. There is the right and further to the right.

Corporate control of the main stream media has produced a dis-informed citizenry.
For example why is there is no discussion of whether the US should be engaged in War ? Why should it be taken for a given that waging war, using our tax money abroad, is more important than caring for the US citizenry?
Because the same corporations that own the media are making a lot of money off these wars.

Phil Donahue was pushed off the air for broaching the subject.

There was a media person on CNN one day last week that said the election is a shoe in for Obama, but they got to make it all interesting for the voters. After all it is an election year he said. I cannot remember his name darnit.

And Im still waiting for Romney to say something of substance other than diss obama, so that goes two ways.

So far Romney has nothing but fabrications against Obamas record. I guess we should expect that if they cannot find anyother way of besting him. Make it up as we go along?

Let me see, he said he will repeal the health care but has no plan of his own to offer.

He will do away with Planned parenthood

Give more tax cuts to the rich

And he agrees with the ryan plan which is a bunch of BS and according to the CBO will make the econemy much much worse.

There you have it! Whoo Hoo!

I have also noticed that rather than talk about Romney the republicans dont sell him. They simply diss obama.

There is a string of videos with Romney in his own words showing himself a fabricator and a liar. Wanna see?

As the media, in general, leans to the Left, whatever the polls say from here on out, I'm going to subtract 10 points from Obama, and add it to the Romney column.

That being said, besides the CNN poll referenced in the article, all the pools I've seen have Obama leading by anywhere from 5-15 points.

SO... that means it really IS pretty much a dead-heat.

The day you see a national poll poll that has Romney leading (from one of the larger news outlets mind you), is the day the Left can kiss the election goodbye.

You have to admit that the news media in this country is SLIGHTLY left-leaning, so if they have Obama marginally down in the polls, that means that the reality of the situation is that he's WAY down in the polls.

I guess time will tell...

As MrsP said, "May the best man win".

Actually, I'll rephrase that, "May the guy you hate the least, win!"

I just saw one on the news that said Obama is up 15 points over Romney! Gottal love those polls. They conflict with each other, and they will all say something else tomorrow. Oh the joy!

[el_em_en_oh]

CNN leans so far to the Left and is biased towards Obama, so saying that it's "all tied up" between Obama & Romney, is basically saying that Romney is ahead by 10 points.

Yeah, if CNN is calling this a dead-heat, then Romney is in the lead at present.

I can't wait for the debates. Obama speaks very well when there are teleprompters around. Get rid of them, and he's in trouble.

Unless the moderator(s) hand Obama the debates on a silver platter, Romney's going to shred him.

I keep waiting for Obama to say something about what he's DONE, and not something disparaging AGAINST the other guy.

So far, this campaign hasn't been about what he's done while he's been in office. It's been all about the shortcomings of other guy.
