We’re now below the double digits with just nine (9) weeks left until the November election and Republican Tea Party (GOTP) presidential wanna-be Willard Mitt Romney’s searching desperately for his “bump” from the “reinvention convention” as we move into the Democratic National Convention. It says a lot about you as a candidate when you receive absolutely no bump from your convention.
So, how does the GOTP candidate stand up against the President?
The last favorability CBS News poll of registered voters conducted from 22 – 26 Aug 12, showed the President with a 41% favorability rating compared to Romney’s 31%.
So, who’s more electable right now?
In the most recent viable’ national poll(s) – which are any group other than the Washington Times or Rasmussen (which are generally always skewed not just to the right, but far to the right) – the most recent Gallup – Monday (7-day tracking, meaning it began as the GOTP convention was opening), if the election were held today:
President Obama 47/Romney 46
The last Gallup Tracking poll prior to the convention of registered voters conducted 20 – 26 Aug 12 demonstrated how Romney not only didn’t get a bounce but lost some traction:
President Obama 46/Romney 47
The most recent Democracy Corps (D) poll of likely voters conducted from 23 – 27 Aug 12, if the general election were held today:
President Obama 49/Romney 47
The most recent CBS News poll of registered voters conducted from 22 – 26 Aug 12, if the general election were held today:
President Obama 46/Romney 45
The most current ABC News/Wash Post poll of registered voters conducted from 22 – 25 Aug 12, if the general election were held today:
President Obama 46/Romney 47
And finally, the most current CNN/Opinion Research poll of likely voters conducted from 22 – 23 Aug 12, if the general election were held today:
President Obama 49/Romney 47
If the general election was held today, according to national polls, Willard Mitt Romney loses to President Obama in the general election.
And according to state polls, if the General Election were held TODAY (note these are based on current poll numbers – not projections), the Electoral College totals based on all available current poll numbers the President defeats Romney 332/206:
Results of 10 consecutive simulations based on poll data as of 4 Sep 12
Obama 287/251
Obama 319/219
Obama 313/225
Obama 284/254
Obama 282/256
Romney 282/256
Obama 287/251
Obama 313/225
Obama 313/225
Obama 309/229
Of 10 simulations Romney wins only one as the President beats him nine times usually by very comfortable margins.
The simulations use cumulative polling data by state and are not based off of national polling data.

What worries me is that voter suppression efforts will skew the election in Romney’s favor, despite the current poll numbers.

Lisa, you’re right. No sane American would vote for Romney/Ryan. The thing we have to worry about is, how many _insane_ Americans will be going to the polls in November, and how do we get more sane voters than insane ones?

Fox Noise. That’s the _only_ place you get rhetoric like that from.

It’s clear to me that Romney wants to secure the hold on this country by the super rich, and have the middle and lower class pay for it all. If Romney wins, we could be placed in a permanent oligarcy, where corporations will rule forever, and the rich will keep getting richer, and there will no longer be a middle class. They want to float like cream on top, and not have to pay their fair share of taxes. Vote Obama, or your children will pay dearly for the Romney era.

Mitt Romney paid 13 % of his income in taxes. He is worth $250 million dollars,and made about $21 million in 2011.
A family who earns $75,000 per year has a tax rate of about 12.8 %.
This is what will happen if he is elected….the rich will get richer…and the middle class…??

Go Romney and Ryan. Anyone who has ever run a successful household knows you need fiscal responsibility. A home will not stand in the long term without it and neither will our nation. You need trust and Obama has not been that person of character. We were founded under God and we need to keep that foundation. But I do understand that the more people you get to need the government the harder it will be to win. To watch Obama create a nation where people feel they need the government to take care them is very sad to see.
