Obama widens lead but it "feels like he's in trouble"

I think that, when people say stuff like that, they are either:

1. Stupid
2. (in) Denial

My guess is that this might be somebody who doesn't like President Obama and doesn't want him to win being forced to confront the reality that, all things considered, President Obama is polling very well right now and her brain isn't sure how to reconcile these numbers with the right-wing spin that tells her that President Obama is doomed to lose to Mitt Romney in November. So, in response, she desperately spins the story like a top to find a dark cloud of bad news to grasp on to (in order to keep her head from exploding).
