New Polls: Obama leading by 6 in Nevada and 7 in Wisconsin

[WI_DEM]

(yeah I know it's 'We Ask America' but I'll take good news anywhere I can get it after yesterdays polls):

Nevada is a swing state in every sense of the term. In 2010–a good GOP year most places–Democrats won most statewide offices, but Republicans captured the Governor and Lt. Gov’s offices. While the GOP picked up some state House and Senate seats, they are still in the minority in the state legislature.

The Silver State has gone through some very hard economic times over the past few years with higher-than-average unemployment rates and a housing market that rolled craps. Bad times must produce discontent for the incumbent among the electorate, right? Not so much:

Poll type:: Automated Date: July 17-18, 2012 - Participants: 1,092 Likely Voters - Margin of Error: ± 2.95%
Obama Romney Johnson Undecided
All voters 49% 43% 2% 6%
Republicans 26% 69% 1% 4%
Democrats 85% 11% 1% 3%
Independents 37% 49% 4% 10%

Wisconsin
Ah, the Badger State…one of our favorites. The hubbub brought on by Gov. Scott Walker’s election, controversial reforms, recall effort and subsequent re-election were fascinating political fodder. The surprising margin of Walker’s recall victory has many believing that Wisconsin is play for Mitt Romney, but the relatively late Primary Election here (August 14) has focused the attention of the political hoi polloi more on a hotly contest Republican Senate Primary featuring four candidates, including former Governor and HHS Secretary Tommy Thompson, former U.S. Rep. Mark Neumann, state House Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, and Eric Hovde, a wealthy businessman with ancestral political roots.

Will Walker’s surprising margin of victory and the intense interest in the GOP Senate race translate into a bump for Romney?

Poll type:: Automated Date: July 17-18, 2012 - Participants: 1,162 Likely Voters - Margin of Error: ± 2.93%
Obama Romney Undecided
All voters 49% 42% 9%
Republicans 15% 79% 6%
Democrats 88% 7% 5%
Independents 44% 41% 15%

2. So the Walker recall vote wasn't a referendum on Obama?

Looks like the media was wrong on that one. Shocker!

3. Never was. Even the polls at the time that showed Barrett losing to Walker had Obama winning

vs. Mittens.

4. Well, FAUX NEWS said that, so...

it must be true (as per the coward M$M sheeple).

I thought they "had their lesson" before!

5. It was a tough choice, they could've waited to do the recall in Nov...

...but they were worried about losing momentum and the Democratic Party didn't want to tell the recallers what to do.

It was a tough decision.

6. Seems to me that Wisconsin is reverting to the mean after the recall.

I knew we weren't in real trouble there. It was just the media making shit up.
