Romney erases Barack's past lead in new FOX News Poll

Mitt Romney now holds a narrow advantage over Barack Obama in the race for the White House -- 46 percent to 45 percent, if the election were held today, according to a Fox News national poll of likely voters released Wednesday.  

That’s a six-point turnaround and a three-point “debate bounce” for Romney.

Before the first presidential debate in Denver last Wednesday, Romney had 43 percent to Obama’s 48 percent (September 24-26, 2012).  

Romney’s edge comes mainly from independents, white voters and men.  Just over half of men (51 percent) back Romney now, the highest level of support he’s received among this group.  

The poll shows independents side with Romney by 44-32 percent.  That’s a reversal from before the debate when it was 43-39 in Obama’s favor.  One independent in four is undecided or will vote for another candidate.

Support for Obama is down a bit across the board -- most notably among young voters:  50 percent of voters under age 30 back Obama, down from 58 percent two weeks ago.  

According to the Fox News exit poll, 66 percent of young voters and 52 percent of independents backed Obama in the 2008 election

Don't you mean "erases Barack's lead"? Your headline makes it sound like Romney's winning in a landslide.

I never said the word landslide. I don't believe in implications.

Don't you mean "erases Barack's lead"? Your headline makes it sound like Romney's winning in a landslide.

I think most people would understand that to "erase a lead" implies pulling even, not a landslide.  

Still, this is a hugely inaccurate poll with a bizarre track record.

Which is exactly why he said it should say "erases Barack's lead" instead of what Naso actually posted that is "erases Barack". I guess reading comprehension isn't something tested for MENSA membership.

Naso's version of the headline doesn't say "erase a lead" though, it just says "erases Barack".

Also while Fox's television network is basically wall to wall propaganda, their polling branch is not. I can believe these numbers.

I edited the titled because I was tired of hearing those people.

I guess you do need to be in Mensa to understand that virtually no one says "erase" to mean "destroy" or "wins in a landslide."  

Naso, for BRTD's sake, use tiny words.

Their polling has been very erratic this year, and not matching anyone else's (about half the time).  This is one, even though it is good for Romney, I'd still take with a grain of salt.

I think this whole race has been volatile.

Freudian slip in the title.. eh Reaganfan ?

lol. Uh, thanks? (Is this like when McCain referred to Obama as "that one" in that debate four years ago? )

Many people use "erase" as in "to destroy".

Yeah, they've shown huge swings from Romney to Obama and back to Romney at random moments for no reason.

This poll was conducted October 7-9, i.e. Sunday-Tuesday.  So much for the Romney's bounce was over after Friday meme.

In the context of a poll, the only thing that I have heard is related to erasing a lead.

The key word in the title is "FOX."

Maybe he used the word "Erase" as a shout out to you Eraserhead, or maybe David Lynch.

I know this is difficult for you, but read the original comment from Eraserhead...then look at the original thread title. If you still don't get it...

I'm pretty sure that a prominent Republican made a multimillion dollar movie where his signature line was "You've just been erased."  Then he kills the guy.



Maybe I'm wrong.
