Romney campaign: Don't 'read too much' into slipping polls

Or, as I like to think of it, "pay no attention to our ineptitude. It is in no way responsible for Romney's decline in the polls."

A senior adviser to Romney's campaign, briefing reporters in Boston about the candidate's upcoming bus tour, said Team Romney wasn't concerned about new surveys from CNN, Fox News and Reuters that show Romney between seven and nine points behind the president.

"It's the middle of summer, it’s the doldrums. It’s the Olympics. There has not been any national news that would push these numbers from -3 to -9," the adviser said, according to Buzzfeed.

The polls have shown significant movement for Obama among independents, while Romney's unfavorability rating has continued to climb. In the Fox News poll, more viewed Romney in a negative light than a positive one, while Obama had a net 14-point favorability advantage.

But the Romney aide said the polls were likely anomalies, and that recent campaign hiccups — like an international trip plagued by embarrassing moments — were not likely responsible.

That's their excuse. It has nothing to do with their weak ass candidate, his gaffes, his connection to Americans being put out of work, his refusal to show his tax records, or their utter stupidity for ever thinking having him tour Europe was a good idea.

So, how do they plan to fix all this? They're putting Romney on a bus and shipping him across the country to meet and mingle with the little people. Which just so happens to be the very people whom he cannot relate to on any level.

Ok, sure, that makes total sense to me.
