The Pew poll that has Obama up by 7 is of course ignored by the Romney-loving media.

That Pew polled was rightfully ignored. It polled just 29% Republicans. Can you name the last time Republicans made up just 29% voters in an election?

Obama's favorability is taking a big hit among Registered Voters: He's at 36/48%, while Romney's at 32/36%. So much for Mr. Likeable.

Romney's also seen at being better than Obama on:
economy (49-41%)
budget deficit (50-36%)
taxes (47-42%)
immigration (46-38%)
social issues (48-37%).

Then how do you explain how Obama just got a 52% favorable rating in the new FOX poll, of all places?
Because this is a thread about a CBS/NYTimes poll.

CBS/NYT doesn't seem to be the best pollster.  At this point in 2004, Kerry was sustaining small leads and in more than one poll, we see how that turned out. If Romney was so unstoppable, he'd manage better than a 1% lead in one poll.

Nate Silver of Five Thirty Eight ranks CBS/NYTimes above Fox: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/search/label/pollster%20ratings

Oh my God, are you actually taking some of these numbers seriously?

Oh my god, like totally. And why not? They are well above the average pollster ranking. No need to discredit a poll just because you don't like it.
