Obama pollster: Gallup/USAT poll an 'extreme outlier' (Updated)

I had high hopes of obama winning the election, but I am starting to doubt that he will be able to pull it off. THe outside spending against him has been incredible, the voter suppression efforts in Ohio and Florida are going to make it tough. The polls everyday seem to be slipping away from Obama, I just don't get how one bad debate can have such a drastic impact. I live in Florida, Obama is not going to win here, in the last hour I have had 6 Romney commercials come on the air, they are just crushing him with the commercials. Our loser Gov. Scott, has made it so difficult for minorities to vote that it is almost impossible for a Dem to win.

Do you really believe this kind of shizzle works?


Amateurs.

No wonder they hired more trolls for sites like DU

and you expect us to believe that you are a Democrat?

In the end, the voters will have the last say so.

I am getting as a registered DEMOCRAT. Does it bother me? No. Because I know my own mind and he is just wasting his time and money. I consider that to be a sign of a desperate man.

All I see are Romney stickers, BUT I don't have an Obama one on my car. Because I don't, does that mean I am voting for Romney? Let them THINK I am voting for Romney. Same as I would say about those CEO's telling their employees to vote for Romney or be fired. I DO live in a place where it's being said.

I want Obama to win ANYWAY he can. I will not cry if he loses Florida, as long as the OTHER states keep him in the White House.

Transplanted New Yorker living in Florida. Florida is not the be all and end all of the USA, in more ways than one.

I find your reasoning quite.....unreasonable

You should have lurked and informed yourself before posting.

There are as many, if not more Obama commercials than there are Romney commercials.

and I am being bombed by mail from Romney and surrogates every day. I don't watch much tv so can't comment on the commercials. I think Obama will win Florida but it will be close.

There is a lot of bullying that goes on here from Republicans and I believe that Romney will soon reveal himself as the anti-christ and many of those Republicans will just stay home on election day.

i think obama should just drop out of the race and the democratic party just disband

oh, whoa as me

i am certainly not going to vote

LIke, you do really belong here?

This is a close game, and Obama has a lot more routes to 270 that Romney. As long as he stays on message, the odds are in Obama's favor.

Call your local Democratic head quarters and call for both the President and your local candidates. You'll feel much better...or wait and watch the debate tomorrow and you'll feel better or you won't. But whatever you do, don't forget to vote.
Welcome to DU

All this makes me do is work just as much harder on helping President Obama get reelected! I will be damned if I ever let republican cheats get me down. Obama is taking Florida and the White House. Get over it and turn your depression into action and help people get out to VOTE!

First, in Florida, polls show that mailed votes, usually overwhelmingly Republican, are now neck and neck with Democrats. It's got the state repubs worried as hell. Also, a poll of voters that have already voted have Obama ahead 59% to 37%. And how about that Arizona; a solid red state where angry Latinos have pushed Obama and Romney into a tie? Then, in a poll of Washinton insiders of both parties (former staff members of McCain, Kerry, Reagan and former presidents and candidates, budget directors, staffers from other administrations, etc.) the consensus that Obama will win is up to 82%. Washington insiders have their fingers on the pulse and know what's in the wind. Plus, too many other polls have Obama winning in the battleground states. And have you seen these puny rallies Romney gets? Although, you can see them from space for all the WHITE reflecting back. Obama's rallies are huge and have diversity of every kind. Romney's not getting beyond the solid bloc of the old white dude vote. He's lost with African-Americans, Hispanics, Asian-Americans, Jews, Native-Americans, the female and youth vote, and, of all things, a plurality of Catholics.

I have Cancer, a daughter in college, and am going to retire this year. I get scared everytime I hear bad news. Your facts are encouraging!

blue yorker, is that you?

He's in perfect position to win and will be even more so after tomorrow night.

Unfortunately there are a lot of immature contributors to DU who unload on anyone who's not a go-go cheerleader for Democrats 100 percent of the time.

Personally, I understand your sense of depression over the way the campaign is going. Obama had it in the bag and, because of his rotten debate performance, he let his lead slip away.

However, keep in mind that a strong debate performance tomorrow could well turn things around. If Obama performs like he's capable of doing, he'll win the election.

Tomorrow is make or break for President Obama.

"Unfortunately there are a lot of immature contributors to DU who unload on anyone who's not a go-go cheerleader for Democrats 100 percent of the time. "

Well, since I'm on of the immature ones

I'll call on disengiuity like your's every time over a low counter's understandable pesimism.

Your assumed superiority over a latecomer says a hell of a lot more about you than it does your target.

I'm game

But Romney's an ass.

Let me know I want to get in on that.

....

We are pretty fired up for Obama on this site and your reverse psychology tactics have failed. Go back to your right wing world, but do come back on Nov. 7th for our grand victory party on DU!!!

and OH is in O's bag.

Voter purges, voter ID, continue to air commercials that have been proven false, fake photo ops (Ryan cleaning clean pans at soup kitchen on Ed show now to show compassionate side), and fake polls. It says to me they plan on rigging the vote! You can take that to the bank, they are going all out!!!

Did I read on DU that President O had a 2 point lead in AZ.....

President O is leading in Ohio Wisconsin & Nevada. Romney will have to win in every swing state except Ohio & that's not gonna happen...

Blackwell had that office then democrat Brunner and now Husted. When Blackwell was in he was co chair of Bush's re-election campaign with Noe. Noe went to jail in the end but somehow Blackwell escaped. At least he did not become governor the polls were to much in the favor of Strickland for him to cheat.

I grew up in Ohio, my father was vice pres for the U.S. Steelworkers union, so I grew up on a Democratic home. My wife and me moved to Florida in 2009, I want Obama to win because I fear for the future for my two daughters if Romney gets into the WHite House. Three weeks ago, I thought this was in the bag, Romney is moron and I thought the public had figured him out. I just cannot believe that one debate could possibly cost Obama reelection, especially when all Romney did was lie. The past two weeks have made me sick to my stomach, as I dread a Romney win and a return to the failed Bush and Cheney policies, as well as the damage that will be done to the women's right movement. It pains me that our country has so many people that would actually fall for the tricks of Romney, didn't they learn from the Bush and Cheney years? I am still hoping and praying for a Obama win, but it just seems like everything is against us this year, from the voter suppression tactics, the ton of lying ads, etc...I thought after Biden kicked Ryans ass that things would start looking up, but the polls seem to be going the other way. If Romney wins, I have started to plan to leave the country until 2016 for my daughters sake. In all honesty, I will not even watch the debate tomorrow, when Romney lies it makes me so angry that I do not want to cause myself to have health problems. Lets hope, that tomorrow Obama can right the ship, for my two daughters sake, and to save me from developing ulcers or stroking out.

But let's see what happens at tomorrow's debate. I think things will be looking up on Wednesday morning.

don't be discouraged the M$M wants & need a close election. Like I said above Robme needs to win every swing state except Ohio to win & that's not going to happen when President O is leading in Nevada, Ohio, Wisconsin & has early voting lead in Iowa.

Relax. Florida is one incredibly screwed up state and you may just have tapped into the insanity. If you want to survive Florida, seek organizations that are Dem leaning and stay away from Republicans. They are racist and entitled and their sense of entitlement will intimidate you.

We are in a transition in Florida. I am counting on the Latino vote to turn the tables.

race. You have a very diverse state with non-whites overwhelmingly for O, Rick Scott trying to suppress the vote, the conservative white guys and retirees for Rmoney, those who care a great deal about Medicare for O, Rmoney pouring million$ into the state in a last orgasmic gasp to close the deal, Dems trying to keep up...it's very close.

...to promote the "too close to call" message. With that out there, manipulation becomes possible.

The test will come if/when those results are manipulated, as it has been demonstrated was done (with ZERO REPURCUSSION) on more than one occasion in the past.

If it happens again and you lot don't break out the pitchforks and torches, then the question is not about Americans deserving their government, but whether or not the rest of the world deserve Americans.

It is getting hard not to believe it at this point. Obama can still win, but everything has to go our way for that to happen.

If the polls are close then it will be easy for them to cheat. They can force the votes on the electronic voting machines. The polls do not even have to be true just say that Romney is a few points off.

The MSM and polls are trying to make it look like Romney could win. That's what scares me, if the polls look close they can hack the votes in to match it. Ugh. We need to get everyone out to vote.

waste a lot of time trying to debunk them, and takes them off their own message.

Or something like that.

To paraphrase Winston Churhill: Americans collectively have a very bad habit of doing the right thing, ONLY when there is no further profit to be had from doing otherwise.

I don't know how closely you watched the 2000 election contest, but George W. Bush* took on a pompous air and strutted around like the election was in the bag. He acted like the winner, and the election had not yet been held. Act like the winner, and people will start regarding you as one. His father also pulled this maneuver in a primary up North when he was running for President. Cannot remember the state, but the results were a virtual tie and a recount was to be held. George H.W. Bush declared himself the winner, left the state and went on to his next appearance.

It runs in the family, this maneuver, and then there is the lowest common denominator in both races: Rove coached both Bushes*.

Don't become a victim of their repulsive maneuvers. Look at the facts. Cheers.

Democrats fall in love Republicans fall in line. Republicans get angry and vote Democrats get scared and vote.

Be scared! Scare your parents, scare you neighbors, scare you kids. We are going to win this.

Maybe being scared is good.

Someone else on DU said this was the Not Going to Change election.

Not Going to Change my Medicare!
Not Going to Change my Social Security!
Not Going to Change Women's Rights!

Definitely, Not Going to Change my President!

Just come out and say they are dirty rotten liars.
