There are always 3 or 4 people here who will dispute the polls.. telling you no it is this it is that.. Polls that track with LIKELY voters are always MUCH closer to the reality of how the elections will turn out are much closer.
So a few days out and we have two of the most accurate polls showing Romney got his expected bounce from the RNC convention. while the other polls from Real Clear Politics still show things like people who are not likely to leave their homes and not vote still favor Obama.. (wondering how many of these people are living in their parents basements.. how many are on welfare and how many are collecting from the Federal government for things like food stamps and unemployment insurnace that has been extended from 13 weeks to 99 weeks)

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 48% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns 44% of the vote. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided.
Just prior to this past week's Republican National Convention, Romney trailed the president by two. Today’s four-point advantage confirms that the GOP hopeful has received the expected convention bounce. See daily tracking history. Romney also has gained ground in the swing state tracking results updated daily for subscribers at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.

During August, the number of Republicans in the country reached the highest level ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports. In each of the recent election cycles, the victorious party has gained in net partisan identification over the course of the election year.

(Presidential Job Approval Data Below)
A president’s job approval rating is one of the best indicators for assessing his chances of reelection. Typically, the president’s job approval rating on Election Day will be close to the share of the vote he receives. Currently, 48% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the president's job performance. Fifty-one percent (51%) at least somewhat disapprove of the job Obama is doing (see trends).
Forty-eight percent (48%) trust Romney more than Obama on the election’s top issue, the economy. Forty-four percent (44%) trust the president more. The good news for Romney is that he still has the edge on this issue. The good news for Obama is that Romney’s advantage has been shrinking over the last few months.

So your pont is???????????????
I will vote for Gary Johnson and I hope others join me in doing so ... we only need 34% of the vote to take our country back!
That said.. he is non existant
the biggest problem I see with the libertarians.. they abdicate one of the prime dictates .. strong military
Romney didn't apologize for his stand with the Patriot Act
He didnt apologize for his stand with the NDAA
nor did he stand and apologize for raising taxes in MA and calling them fees or his stand with TARP
.. however he did apologize to the Mormon Church for not following and taking steps to secure the pastors/priests (not sure what they are called so no insult meant or implied) a rich retirement as his fellow co-worker did for the Lutheran Church ... really you are sounding more ridiculous with every comment ... why not give it up and start educating yourself in regards to who Romney really is.
I do believe in a strong national defense.. which puts me well at odds with both R Paul and the libertarians..
What I do agree with them about has mostly to do with the other economic and social issues that you seem to not understand that just goes to show the narrow mindedness of many ideologues even yourself
Romney also favors cap-and-trade and a carbon tax, although he has addressed the issue obliquely in order to pretend he is some kind of “conservative” opposed to further decimating the middle class with taxation ... in all likelihood he will call it a fee.
The last time Clinton won by 43% ... all your liar 'n chief wannabe needs is 34% ...
Sad ... this is why history repeats itself ... because so many will not think or act outside their comfort zone ... in other words they prefer denial.
You are a huge waste of my time ... bah-bye
though they do show when you look it up
Romney is a shill ... you vote him and you will get Obama.
On the same idea of the old thought that when a women says no ... she really means yes. That is the message you are sending ... are you prepared to be raped again.
The most successful third party in the 20th Century was the Socialist Party. While never winning any significant elections, their small-but-growing vote totals were a threat to the Democrats. The Democrats, and then later the Republicans, for votes and to grow government, have adopted every major tenet of the 1916 Socialist Party platform.
Libertarians are the opposite of Socialists. Libertarian radical ideas about liberty were shaped in 1971 and are now being seriously debated and, in some cases, implemented by the other parties as you must see in your responses alone. However an increasing number of Libertarian votes are continuously noted by the politicians as well as the media.
So rather than waste your vote on the continued direction of destruction that both the Democrats and Republicans have perpetrated against the American people, cast a meaningful ballot that clearly says you believe in our Constitution and the Law of the Land of individual freedom and liberty as set forth by our Founders.
The sheer word "progressive" means you are only wishing that they are moving back toward personal liberty.
You don't announce that its the government who we owe our sovereignty to or Corporations are people too and look towards either party directing us towards freedoms lost being restored.
My feeling is if you walk like a duck, talk, like a duck, and swim like one ... you are a duck! Following the choices and unconstitutional mandates of one party while professing to be of another ... reveals you are in fact a duck. You can call yourself anything you want but the fact is, character and your basic beliefs do not change with a label but are revealed.
