How badly is Willard trailing? Glad you asked ....... Obama can lose Florida (where he and Willard are currently tied) AND Ohio - and he would still win reelection.
Allow me to give you a short lesson on polls !!!

Polls to candidates are RELATIVE and based on projections.

Do you think that Obama figured he would be ahead at this point in the polls, being the incumbent and no primary fight ? Yes he sure did.

Do you think that Romney figured to be trailing at this point in the polls, just coming off a primary ? Yes, he sure did.

NOW....do you think either Obama or Romney figured it would be this close AT THIS TIME.....no way. Romney figured maybe a slight bump but nothing like this...Obama figured that slight bump also, but then back to his lead and Romney needs to really come on.

At this point, and this can change....Romney is a steamroller and Obama knows it. This all may change but getting your self all excited at this point is fruitless and means nothing. They are all relative to when, etc and right now using the professional method of reading them, Romney is on fire.

Now, as I said that may change but give it a break...geez, the governor of West Virginia, a Dem says he is not even going to the convention...he is not liking Romney much but that is how he is leaning an he is snubbing the Presidents convention. The guy who seconded the nomination of Obama at the convention in 2008, not only is not voting for Obama, he has left the party !

It is too early but all trends right now favor Romney...not the raw numbers as you say......but trust me, Obama has a serious problem right now.

He can change it, but his little stunt this week has really really hurt him...it will become in the next weeks and on, an economic issue and not social as seen now.

His saviour could be Russia, you know the guys that do not count..or didnt when Romney mentioned them. If Obama can control Russia on Syria, etc and make some headway in the ME, he can get back in the game but that he must do to survive. If the ME goes down as it is leaning, he has a big time problem, but even that could be an advantage to Obama depending on how well he handles it.
