Is Romney actually leading in the polls or are some people delusional?

Both of you cited Rasmussen on Congressional polls, NOT presidential polls - where Rasmussen has been at the forefront of accuracy.

I am definitely skeptical of Rasmussen after 2010, but citing Real Clear Politics is hilarious. That's an average of the polls from the most popular media outlets (which, have proven themselves to largely favor Democrats). It has become the media of bias and propaganda to the highest bidder and makes it nearly impossible to find unbiased sources.

I agree that Obama may be leading in actuality, but it is a razor thin lead if any.

If you are supporting Obama in this election, I would love to hear your rationalization behind it. (Genuine curiosity)

Lets see.

I'm upper middle class ( 120k+/year, mmm more like 150k including wife). I don't need a tax break ( I would take it if it came but I woudn't bitch much if my taxes were raised  either). My tax rate is more than double what Mitt pays and the thing is I don't want it lowered, I want Mitt's rate raised :P

I'm pro choice, against death penalty.

I'm better off than 4 years ago ( mortgage is paid, it wasn't then, retirement savings are growing nicely, we replaced our 2 cars, wife works, she didn't back then ) so based on what Mitt is saying I should vote Obama ;)

 

I have about zero trust in a republican canditate that says he's going to cut taxes on the rich, balance the budget and at the same time not touch the defense budget. You do the maths, that's about impossible ( which is why each time he's asked about details he doesn't give any)...

 

Oh and I believe in global warming ( although this is about the worse way to say it, there's not belief or faith here, the facts are there, you can deny everything you want, it won't change the facts, denying it is like saying 2 + 2 isn't 4) and if we don't do something now , sometime in this century our children will pay the price for it...

I find totally stupid and irresponsible to hit on the Chinese so much and blame them for everything, especially as a republican canditate. Either you believe free markets are everything or you believe there needs to be some controls, but you can't have it both ways... Although it shouldn't surprise me that much, it's always been a strategy to hit on a foreigh power to try to unite the country behind you...
