I get the sense this new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll is not going to be good for Romney...

[Drunken Irishman]

That's the sense I got listening to Chuck Todd & Chris Matthews. They mentioned Romney's numbers declining, while Obama's pretty stable. In their last poll, Obama led Romney 47-44, so, I'm going to guess maybe Obama leads Romney 47-42 or something like that.

It was very negative for Romney - the entire piece. Even Todd, who's as biased as you can get most of the time, mentioned how Romney is struggling to set an image and how the stagnant economy doesn't seem to be hurting Obama's overall numbers (though, he does trail Romney by six on the economy).

We'll see. Maybe I'm wrong and misheard it, but from the narrative, it sounded like the overall poll shows Obama up and Romney potentially losing ground.

The whole poll will be released at 6:30 ET - so, in less than an hour.

6. Okay... I assume you saw the poll (I haven't) is that accurate?

2% are MORE positive of Romney re: tax returns.

7. What an astonishingly low number

Usually on any poll you can find 5-10% of people to believe in the Tooth Fairy.

8. And 32% more negative.

Sounds good to me

12. The downside is that it is hurting Obama a bit, too. As O'Donnell pointed out tonight: Obama's

negatives are up to 43%. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it didn't used to be that high.
