Obama up 5 over Romney in latest Fox News poll

[TroyD]

Published September 27, 2012

The latest Fox News poll finds the race for the White House holds steady, with 48 percent of likely voters backing the Obama-Biden ticket and 43 percent backing the Romney-Ryan ticket, if the election were held today. That’s unchanged from two weeks ago, after the Democratic convention.

Romney was preferred by one percentage point (45-44 percent) before the two conventions (August 19-21).

The president’s advantage is within the poll’s margin of sampling error.

With six weeks until the election, the poll shows Romney supporters continue to be more enthusiastic, although the gap has narrowed. By a four percentage-point spread, Romney backers are more likely than Obama supporters to say it’s “extremely” important their candidate wins. Before the conventions Romney had a 10-point enthusiasm edge (August 19-21, 2012).

1. But FOX and Friends think polls are wrong!

Wonder if they'll call out this one?

2. A Fox "news" poll with Obama leading? Who allowed that to be published?!

3. This is actually the 2nd FOX poll in a row to show a +5 Obama lead

But their anchors try to downplay it.

5. It's funny that it didn't come out the way they wanted it to be. Strange that they published it.

4. Yeah, FAUX says we're heavily loading polling places with dems?

And yet, they still post the results? What idiots. They're as f'ed up as the GOP.

6. According to Dick Morris....this is really 52 - 48, Romney(+4)....

Fox can spin their own poll using Dick's logic that all the undecideds always break for the challenger.

7. Faux News is more of the liberal media

Don't trust them.
