Romney's Lead with Older Voters Evaporates

The latest Reuters/Ipsos poll "indicates that during the past two weeks -- since just after the Democratic National Convention -- support for Romney among Americans age 60 and older has crumbled, from a 20-point lead over President Obama to less than 4 points."

"Romney's double-digit advantages among older voters on the issues of healthcare and Medicare -- the nation's health insurance program for those over 65 and the disabled -- also have evaporated, and Obama has begun to build an advantage in both areas."

3. Wow, other than Romney's rabid right wing base...

this is the group the Romney campaign was counting on the most. Very good news for President Obama, very bad news for Romney.

4. Why the hell is the M$M still saying this race is close?

Are they that desperate for the ad dollars and news stories?

If Rmoney has lost his lead among seniors, then I expect red states like AZ, GA and SC to be closer to purple than red now. We also should be expanding our Senate majority and reclaiming the House if Rmoney is tanking so horribly.

5. Mitt trashed blacks, Hispanics and women, and now

seniors are realizing that he wants to take their benefits.
