Obama Solidifying Lead Among Independents in Swing States

[ShredOfTruth]

4. Good News...

That's GREAT news but last night I saw a Gallup poll showing Obama only up 49% to 45%. WTF? Obama has done a decent job of pulling us out of a real economic nightmare. Things are gradually improving, faster than I thought they would. It took 8 years to make the mess and it usually takes longer for cleanup.

Does this country have amnesia? Do we not remember what the boat anchor party (read:GOP) did when they had control of things? They kept pushing the same old tired economic policies they've been trying since the Reagan days with no success. Now, enough of the country wants to elect dipstick Mitt Romney to make this a close election? REALLY?

Obama should be killing the boat anchor party candidates by 20 points or more. These guys are a joke. They bring nothing to the table but the same old tired rhetoric and economic policies that had us losing 750k jobs a month when Obama took office. We've been creating jobs now for 26 straight months! Why in the heck would we want to return to the days of lackluster job creation despite gigantic tax cuts for the top income bracket?

I wonder how the polling will be affected when Romney make the veep pick? Paul Ryan shouldn't provide a boost but as stupid as this country is you never know. Hopefully the lead will increase just as it has among latino and women voters. We desperately need an Obama win and strong majorities in Congress if we are to get anything accomplished in the next 4 years.
