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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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