It's not just the ABC News Poll that has Obama surging.


Do you want to talk about the ridiculous liberal bias leading to Obama beating Romney 51%-46% (Obama +6%) in a recent ABC News poll?


How about this?


Rasmussen (Obama +7%)
Obama 49%
Romney 42%

The conservative far right pollster Rasmussen has a margin EVEN GREATER than what ABC news is reporting. And those of us who follow polls and have studied Nate Silver's in depth look at all of the major pollsters in the country, know how far to the right a Scott Rasmussen poll generally leans.


Here are Obama's job approval ratings from the latest two polls.

ABC
Approve 50%
Disapprove 46%

Rasmussen
Approve 50%
Disapprove 48%



It looks like the ABC news poll was just consolidated and verified by one of the most conservative pollsters (And the pollster for FOX news) in the country.

And of course these numbers come just a few days after a WMUR poll in New Hampshire that has Obama leading Romney 50%-40% in Romney's home state. (Or at least one of his many home states.)


It looks like the President is beginning to find his message. And the public is beginning to find out about Mitt.

the more people decide to re-elect Obama.

Thank you, Newt, for giving Romney so many chances to prove what an idiot he is.

Given that reality, President Obama's margin is impressive. I want President Obama to maintain the margin and crush Romney.

that presumed nominee usually is beating the incumbent President at this stage of the game. So the GOP is doing doubly bad.

These GOP candidates are the best advertisement for the President I can think of. They make "morning in America" "mourning in America."
