PPP: Obama +7 in WISCONSIN (52 - 45)

[TroyD]

86% of WI voters familiar with Romney's '47%' comments- 53% say they're inappropriate, 40% appropriate

39% of indys in WI say Romney's comments made them less likely to vote for him, 20% more likely. Obama up 52-43 w/them

Obama pretty strong on his own merits in Wisconsin too- 52/47 approval, up a net 9 pts from a month ago

Wisconsin voters prefer Obama over Romney on the economy (51/46) and foreign policy (52/44)

Paul Ryan not helping that much in WI because he's really not that popular there- 48/47 favorability

Ryan's favorability down net 3 pts from last month in WI- he's not hurting Romney there but not much help either

2. so basically

Mitt must sweep OH, FL, and VA to have any chance at all. Ryan gave him an initial bounce in WI which is gone. MI is getting out of Romney's reach, and PA is out of the question for Mitt.

5. Hey, come on, now!

I'm sure the Mitt & Paul bus tour in Ohio next week will make it a WHOLE. NEW. BALL. GAME!

6. Rasmussen just came out with THEIR Wisconsin poll

It shows Obama +3.

I guess it will give Romney & Ryan something to hold onto.

7. Very good! We need to keep it up. Prez is coming to Milwaukee on Saturday.

9. Will Obama be appearing with Tammy Baldwin?

It would be good for the momentum of her campaign if she can get more visibility.

8. They put Ryan on the ticket for two main reasons

1) Rally the base; 2) Deliver Wisconsin. Both of these reasons were absolutely crucial. If either one missed, then the Ryan pick will have failed.
