Even Faux news can't lie about the bump President Obama got. This poll was also done Sept. 9th to the 11th so it is after the DNC convention and is after the job report.

3. Seems FOX Is Playing It Down The Middle.

The poll is conducted under the joint direction of Anderson Robbins Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R). For the total sample, it has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus three percentage point

2. Rasmussen is so biased, that he outFoxes Fox

I can't wait to see how Raz's final poll will compare to the final results.

4. Fox news polls have a decent history

There have been times when Fox personalities didn't use the Fox poll, prrefering to cite other polls that showed a bigger Republican number.

IIRC, Fox had some of the better numbers for Kerry.

5. I'm sure it pains the hell out of them to report these numbers. A 12 pt bounce among Indies?

"An increase in support from women as well as independents gives Barack Obama a post-convention advantage over challenger Mitt Romney. The president receives a five percentage-point bounce among women and a 12-point bounce among independents, in a Fox News poll released Wednesday.

The poll finds the president has a significant advantage on most issues and candidate traits. Voters trust Obama more than Romney on foreign policy (+15 points), education (+14 points), Medicare (+11 points), health care (+9 points) and terrorism (+8 points)."

7. One interesting stat: RV Obama lead is 4

LV is higher than the 4%, which shows LV willl not always necessarily be significantly more pro-Republican than Democratic.
Typically LV is 1-5% more pro-R than Registered Voter samples are, but again, the variation is large.

8. pretty good bounce I think their last poll had Mitt up a point or two.

9. Obama has this thing in the bag

barring something weird happening. The Dems are very close to the tipping point where a conservative may never be elected president again.

10. Yes Navi...that's what I am afraid of.....

barring something weird happening...and I am hoping the weird happening didn't JUSt happen
Something JUST IS NOT SITTING right with me regarding mittens's response and smirks...
makes my skin crawl.
I'm with ya Navi!

11. Nah, if anything

it will just help Obama. The country tends to pull together behind the present leader when we are under attack. Unless those radicals over there are just plain idiots they don't want Romney in office....the last thing they would want is some warmongering conservative as our president just when we're starting to put some distance between us and Israel.

12. President Obama will win for certain

Even though the republicans spew a lot of FUD, people are not gullible enough for fall for it.

PS: yes yes we should not be complacent..but I would be rather shocked if Pres Obama did not win.
PPS: Democrat talking heads on TV should emphasize the anti choice/anti woman agenda of the right..imho some of them are not stressing the differences enough .
