So, how's that War on Women working out for you?
Row faster, Mainstream Media! Faster!
There are all kinds of polls out there, but except for a single outlier, even in polls that show Obama ahead of Romney, the President is still stuck in the mid-forties -- the last place any incumbent wants to be.
Today, Gallup's daily tracking poll gives the White House and Obama's Media Palace Guards another reason to gulp:
Romney 48%
Obama 43%
More bad news for Obama is that his challenger is already romantically close to that magic 50% number.
The bad news for us is that if these polls continue to show Obama in serious trouble, the media is going to absolutely freak out and start their salting-the-earth crusade early.
Ben Smith and company might have already gotten started with this attack on Ann Romney and the Mormon faith that posted just today.
And it's only April.
Gallup Poll [ˈgæləp] n (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) a sampling by the American Institute of Public Opinion or its British counterpart of the views of a representative cross section of the population, used esp as a means of forecasting voting
The O has good points? Where has he been hiding them? I know, with his BC and all his other relevant records of his past.

When the negative ads start to fly and the postive ads educate the public about some of Obama's good points, this poll should reverse. Romney has way too much baggage to be able to overcome his negatives, imnho.

These polls are going to flip back and forth pretty much until we get to late August and early September. For Obama this election is a no brainer. Romney is far from exciting and has the personality of cardboard. All he has to do is respond to Romney's accusations with facts. Minimize blaming the former administration we all know he walked into a mess, an occasional reminder is ok but you don't want to play on it too much. All that is really needed here is to say this is where we were this is where we are. He is going to have to run ads that cover his attempts to work with Congress only to be snubbed for his efforts. He is going to need to get on the bully pulpit all summer long. Explaining things like healthcare, keystone and all the other little things that come up.
Then in support of the Obama campaign the DNC should be running ads pointing out what all these Republican ran State Legislatures and Governors that were elected in 2010 have been up to in the last two years. Drive home the this is Romney's party and this is what the party agenda is message. Come time for the debates all he has to do is be prepared and able to counter whatever Romney says. The only reason Romney was successful during the primary debates is because he had extremely soft competition, he won't fare well in the Presidential debates.
