More Bad News: President Obama’s Numbers Are Plummeting in Two Key Swing States
A Pew poll released yesterday shows Romney has overtaken President Obama in the polls. According to the poll, 49 percent of likely voters support 
Mitt Romney compared to just 45 percent who support President Obama. Six percent of those polled remain undecided. President Obama had an eight point lead among likely voters in the same poll prior to the debate.
Not only are Obama’s numbers falling in general, they’re also falling in swing states that Obama must win if he hopes to be reelected.
New polls in both Michigan and Pennsylvania show Obama’s lead narrowing to only 3 points. Worst of all, the Michigan poll is from Democratic pollster Foster McCollum White Baydoun, which means the poll does not skew Republican. The Pennsylvania poll is a non-partisan poll from Siena College.
The Siena poll shows President Obama’s favorability numbers dropping below 50 percent. President Obama’s favorability rating had been 54 percent before he lost the first presidential debate to Mitt Romney. Presidents with favorability rankings below 50 percent aren’t usually reelected.
Previously, some pundits have said that voters don’t make decisions based on debates, but that logic is proving to be false. Mitt Romney clearly got a noticeable bump after his debate with President Obama. What we’re seeing is that, prior to the debate, Romney had been his own worst enemy. But now that Romney has come out swinging, he’s a force to be reckoned with.
Americans don’t seem to mind that most of what Romney said during the debate was yet another flip flop. Romney’s lies may not have mattered had Obama been willing to point them out during the debate, but he didn’t.

If the voters want someone that lies and flip flop vote for Romney.
Romney should be an actor, he gave a great performance at the first debate besides all of the lies. The Romney/Ryan campaign has been all about the rich- tax cuts, protecting big business and putting their feet on the necks of the poor, seniors and the middle class for 11 months. All of a sudden when they were struggling in the polls a month before the election, supposedly their campaign is all about helping the middle class. And idiots are flocking behind them waiting to get screwed. WAKE UP, Romney and Ryan will say anything to get elected. Don’t let the smooth taste fool you, they are crooked as can be.
Why are you reporting this lie. You know as well as I know they number for Romney have been paded. Everyother news source show President Obama as leading.
President Obama actions and his ability to be humble and honest will take him further than Romney. President Obama proved his abilities by accomplishing many of the things he said he would do coming into the White House. He has a proven record. What does his opponent have a fist full of lies and deceit.
Thanks but no thanks I will continue to support the the promise and that being President Obama
I have been baffled that Romney had so many supporters in the first place. How can these audiences listen to that junk that spews out of Romney and Ryan — he will cut this…cut that…cut your $$$…but he will give TAX CUTS TO THE RICH…and spend more our BLOATED MILITARY ???? Are they also NUT???? There are lot of people who are gullible and just plain uninformed about the issues…and who watch too much FOX NEWS.
Whether you support Obama or Romney, the facts are the facts. So posting an article saying how can you support Romney doesn’t achieve anything, seeing as the majority are now behind him, whether you think he is lying or not.
All this double talk is a pole of its own.
