Faux Newz poll: Obama up by 8+ points over all GOP candidates in swing states.

[DCBob]

The registered-voter poll was conducted across 10 states where Obama had small margins of victory in 2008 and are considered decisive in the upcoming presidential election.

These swing states fall into three regional tiers. The Rocky Mountain tier includes Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. The Rust Belt tier includes Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. And the Dixie tier includes North Carolina, Florida and Virginia.

Across these states, Santorum performs about as well as Romney in matchups with the president.

The swing-state voters back Obama over Romney by 8 percentage points and Santorum by 9 points. Obama tops Paul by 12 points in the poll. Gingrich lags farthest behind Obama, as voters in these key states prefer the president to the former Speaker by 20 points. In the most recent Fox News national poll -- released Friday -- registered voters give Obama a 13-point edge over Gingrich.

Bwaaahhh!! Even Faux cant deny it or fake it!

Sorry for linking to Fox but this is very very good news. Oh, if only the election was today! It would be a blowout.

1. They probably should start polling this question in RED states.

2. The way things are going Texas could be in play.

That would be something!

3. What is interesting in this poll is he is up the MOST in North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida

even I find that hard to believe.

I mean, I DO think NC will go for Obama, but not by the +15 margin they have in this poll.

I mean that's great, but ... really?

If so, republicans will start jumping off cliffs screaming, "No place is safe!"

4. Also, weird is that they have Obama down in Ohio to Romney.

Which makes no sense. There have been other recent polls with Obama ahead there.

5. Some 'scandal/wedge issue' will arrive just in time to rally them.

And things will be different when they have a person to coalesce around. Anyone that isn't Obama.


But right this minute - I'd say the Dems look good in 2012.

7. Cautiously optimistic. worry UE will go up a tick. Obama

kind of seemed to warn about that saying "It will go up and down"

This is just like watching your favorite team have a lead early in the
game and holding your breath hoping they won't lose it.

8. Obama

There Is no way he will win Virginia,NC,and florida and lose Ohio,Iowa,wisconsin,and PA.

[DCBob]

10. Yeah, its almost like they got some of the states mixed up.

9. Wonderful news to be sure!!

Wonder if FuxNews will even recognize their own poll results!!
