Even the Fox News Poll Shows Obama's Lead Growing: Is Romney Losing the Attack Ad War?

President Obama opened up a 9-point lead in the most recent Fox News poll. Looks like all the negative ads and character assassination tactics are working. Negative ads may be bad for the American political landscape, but they seem to be working for Obama, at least for now. Do you think Romney will lose the game of hardball -- or will he rebound and win just in time for the election?

FOXNEWS.COM reports:
The president would take 49 percent of the vote compared to Romney's 40 percent in a head-to-head matchup if the election were held today, the poll found.

    The Obama campaign is spending more than it's taking in on attack ads...Romney hasn't really begun to attack Obama and his campaign has plenty of cash on hand, September and October will see the onslaught against Obama begin and he'll be underfunded to respond.

    I'm not worried at all about Romney. He hasn't even BEGUN to run ads full force seeing as he is the presumptive nominee at this point. He hasn't named his VP yet, which will be a total boost, especially if he picks Ryan (who I am rooting for at this point).

    Ryan is phenomenal, will throw Wisconsin firmly into red territory and, along with it, will help Michigan and all-important Ohio in the process. Actually, I like the Democrats feeling confident, it'll make the Obama loss that much sweeter.

    lol do you have your head buried in the sand or something? All it takes is a simple Google search to realize the polls are VERY much against Romney. You don't even have to listen to the "biased" liberal media and polling groups; take the numbers from any source you want and it's still clear that Mitt is losing badly in the electoral college.

    But, you ARE right about one thing...it is going to be a landslide. :D

    I hate Romney's vision for this country: tax breaks for the 1% and tax hikes for everyone else. Also, he believes that people and entire cities like Detroit should just go bankrupt and that people in danger of losing their house should just go into foreclosure.

    My parents would have probably lost their house if it wasn't for some of Obama's policies that actually protect middle class homeowners.
  • Trust N... bryguy 2012/08/11 02:00:56
    Trust Noone
    I got news for for you, there have been 9 million foreclosures between 2009 and present under Obama. So I guess your parents are the lucky ones

    Detroit has been under demacrat rule and that's why it's in deep paverty. The people keep hoping to receive the help they were promised, which never comes. People in those circumstance are slaves to the goverment by choice. Free yourself from goverment bondage.

    So Obama is supposed to prevent EVERY foreclosure? My parents became fully informed about the government programs put in place by his administration and took full advantage of them, while still working hard to find new jobs in a down economy. They were eventually successful, but the programs helped them get by in the meantime.

    “One is, don’t try and stop the foreclosure process”
    and
    “The Obama administration has slow-walked the foreclosure processes that have long existed"
    -Mitt Romney

    So under a Romney presidency they would have been thrown out of the house that they worked for over a decade to obtain. Romney doesn't care about the middle class and only wants to benefit the 1%.

    What excuses? All I did was mention how his policies have kept homeowners from losing their homes. Also, it's pretty clear from his very own words that Romney's policies would skewer homeowners in the same situation.

    My life isn't miserable at all. I really enjoy life, but I would be enjoying it a lot less if after more than a decade of hard work I was forced to watch my parents retire in a hovel. You're the one making excuses for Romney, who is clearly against Obama's policies preventing or "slow-walking" foreclosure, by Romney's own admission.

    Why do you idiot left wingers think Obama will help. Yeah, he helped us.The poverty rate increasing, more people on welfare and food stamps, more people getting laid off, businesses paying so much less that Canada is paying there workers more, and of course Obama creating a crappy "health care" has really helped us.

    We didn't have 8 years of Bush's stupidity idiot. The economy fell apart near the end of his term when the democrats had control of congress.

    dont forget one of the reasons that president Obama was elected was because the REPUBLICANS had ruined the country so badly.

    Actaully, it was the DEMOCRATS that had completed control of congress when the economy collapsed.

    It will never be repaired with Obama. The poverty rate increased, the debt increased, businesses are paying less and laying off more people than with Bush, and more people are on food stamps and welfare.

    I believe what the power to be want, I want someone who will lead this country, create jobs, and believe in our constitution of United states of America. Thing is Obama can not run on his record and say people are not losing there home, jobs, he spent all this money and it went over seas, we the people have pay taxes, and if you thought healthcare was expensive now, it just the beginning.

    Actually, all of Romney's negative ads have been proven to be LIES. His blatant attempts at character assassination have gotten him nowhere, considering that he's dealing with an educated electorate. Add to this that all the ads run against him have been devastating in their truthfulness, it's no wonder he's getting behind in the polls!

    All the money in the world isn't going to make up for the over 100 projected electoral vote deficit Romney has against Obama.

    Conservatives might hate Obama with a passion but the fact is that they picked the wrong guy to run against him.

    Currently, it seems that telling the truth about Romney is trumping Romney's lies about his opponent and hos own record. One of Romney's big problems is that some idiot went and invented video. He can claim he has always been a "severely conservative" man but then they go and play a tape of him claiming he will defend a Woman's right to chose, that he's in favor of equal opportunity for gays, and that he thinks health care with an individual mandate is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Who are you going to believe, W. Mitt Romney or Willard M. Romney?

    No, Romney's flip-floping record defines him in unfavorable terms. Video tapes can be a devastating tool to attack your oppoent with. If the Obama campaign is smart they will roll out a ad in September or so with old Willard flip flopping. Simple slide show. Have old video tape with Romney being for something, that have the next one slide in with him being against the same thing. About 10 slides of this back and forth and Romney is toast.

    That is one of his weaknesses, but Obama has plenty too that needs to be exploited, like the economy, unemployment, Solyndra, Fast n Furious just to name a few.

    The economy can't be blamed on Obama alone. The real villan is Congress and they're do nothing or just no position. For example, where's Congress right now? Worrying about the economy, thinking up a jobs plan? No, those bozos are on their usual 5 week long vacation.

    Right wingers have tried to beat the dead horses named Solyndra and Fast and Furious for months and neither has got any traction because both on non issues.

    Meanwhile Romney is being successfully painted as the aloof, stiff, constantly flip-flopping pin head 1% er I'm all for the super rich twit he is. That's why he won't win. Even many Republicans can't stand him and likely will sit this election out or write-in somebody they wished had won the nomination.
