The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 50% of Likely U.S. Voters trust Romney more when it comes to handling the economy. Forty-three percent (43%) trust the president more. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The majority of voters cannot possibly think Obama's foreign policy is working, so that should turn to Romney's favor also.

How could obama's job approval be at 50%? How many dems did they sample to get that number?

Sure they can and here's why.

Mainstream Media Playing ‘Cover-Up’ for Obama’s Actions in Mideast Policy?

Most people in America don't follow politics as closely as we do.

[Retread]

In an interview this week, the president of CBS News insisted his network isn't biased. We agree. When it comes to the current election campaign, calling the mainstream press biased doesn't go nearly far enough. These days, the media aren't just tilting stories, they're acting like paid employees of the Obama campaign's PR shop. Think about it. Over the past several months, there hasn't been one major political story line pushed by the mainstream press that hasn't been perfectly in sync with the Obama campaign's strategic messaging plan.

Case in point is the ferocious press response to Mitt Romney's criticism Tuesday night of the Cairo embassy's "disgraceful" apology. At midnight on Tuesday, the Obama campaign said it was "shocked" that "Romney would choose to launch a political attack." Was Romney out of line? Hardly. The embassy's apology was disgraceful. Even the White House admitted as much — but only after Romney issued his stinging rebuke. As for politicizing an international crisis, Obama did so repeatedly in his 2008 campaign, including using the death of nine troops in Afghanistan to score political points...

A truly independent press would have focused on whether Obama's Mideast policy is failing, or his decision to jet off to a Vegas fundraiser, or his inability to tell whether Egypt is an ally. This is hardly the first time the media have acted as though they were part of the Obama re-election team...

More than any time in the past, reporters and editors working at mainstream outlets have shirked their duty to be independent while still pretending to provide the public with legitimate, unbiased and fair news coverage. This isn't just some idle concern. When the media voluntarily take on the role of propagandists, a genuine threat to our democratic system of government is posed.

Romney really needs to close the gap in Ohio, Florida and Virginia. The election is lost if he loses those three. He needs two of them.

Florida will go Republican, I doubt Virginia and Ohio is so fickle it is anyone's guess.

You think Virginia is a "no"? That's too bad.

I've been so involved with trying to win Pennsylvania (lost cause, I know) I haven't seriously been keeping track elsewhere.
