Just noting there has been a further shift towards the blue in the polls. Now approaching a 4 % nation wide lead for Obama. A lead that historically has been hard to overtake for any presidential candidate this late in the game. This is especially notable in the battleground states including big ones like Florida, and Ohio.

Romney has failed to win support of the margin he is talking about in the 47% video.  Due to the lack of winning support, and hoping he wins out of disgust at Obama, ends up not being a winning formula.  It fits into John Kerry 2004.

I truly think that Obama has a lot less disgust towards him than Bush did at the time. That years election included a lot more foreign topics of debate concerning the war in Iraq. This year it is far more domestic as the Economy is the biggest issue. So yes, this year a much more struggling 47% compared to that election does seem like it would more likely dispute Romneys lack of sympathy and lack of even being able to have empathy. Romney just cannot show swingers that he can be better than Obama using mostly mutually used smear methods. I think the trend towards an incumbent president winning will hold true in 2012 as it did in 2004.
