Obama’s seven point lead up in smoke

Gallup’s Presidential Election tracking poll for September 5-11 had President Obama leading Governor Romney by seven points 50% to 43%.

Now the Gallup tracking poll shows that Obama’s seven point lead has gone up in the smoke from burning U.S. embassies. For the last two days Obama only leads Romney by a single point. That is why the biased media wing of the Democrats’ party is desperately trying its darnedest to convince you the election is over.

As Obama’s convention bounce rose to seven points, we saw the smoke from the burning U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya and we saw the smoke from the remains of the stars and stripes that riotous Muslim mobs pulled down from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. We also learned al Qaeda attacked the American-lead multinational peacekeeping force in the Sinai. They also attacked a U.S. Marine base in Southern Afghanistan in an effort to kill Britain’s Prince Harry.

The next day, September 12, we learned that four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Stevens, were killed in what the Obama regime finally admits was a terrorist attack in Benghazi. We also saw the smoke from the U.S. Embassy in Tunis, Tunisia, as more riotous Muslim mobs attacked there, in Khartoum,Sudan and Sana’a, Yemen.

On September 13, we learned that Obama did not attend any of his daily intelligence briefings since September 5. Obama didn’t care enough about the fact that our adversaries are known to use the anniversary of 9/11 to target the United States to attend intelligence briefings during the six days before the terrorists’ 9/112012 offensive. American Crossroads took Obama to task for his lackadaisical approach to critical foreign policy issues in this hard hitting video.

On September 16, we saw Susan Rice, Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations, appear on several of the Sunday morning news shows and mislead the American people by claiming the vicious attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was unplanned and provoked only by an anti-Islam video.

The hateful Muslim mobs have continued their rioting against American and the Obama administration was forced to close the U.S. consulate in Medan, Indonesia on September 19, due to ongoing “protests.” An event which disproves Obama’s naive belief that he could just say nice things, and because he had lived in Islamic country of Indonesia during his youth and his half-sister is Muslim, the Muslim hate for America would dissipate. On September 21, all U.S. diplomatic missions in Indonesia will be closed.

So it is not at all surprising that the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that Obama’s approval rating on foreign policy has dropped five points since August. Now, only 49 percent approve of the president’s job in handling foreign policy. Last month, 54 percent approved of Obama’s foreign-policy handling. Worse, only 41 percent of Independents approve of Obama’s foreign-policy handling, versus 53 percent who did so last month.

The biased media incorrectly insisted Romney was wrong to Obama’s incoherent response to the Cairo debacle, and to question Obama’s now discredited policies of appeasement and apology that have left us so dangerously vulnerable in the Middle East and still hated in the Muslim world.

The lesson to be learned from the terrorists’ 9/11/12 offensive is that despite Obama’s protestations to the contrary, the War Against Terror is not over, and Governor Romney was right to criticize Obama for sending mixed signals about the violence of the hateful Muslim mobs.

    “sitting in front of a TV is not on my agenda in this election!”

    Good for you and Many Thanks for your energy!

    And no, it is no surprise to me about FOX News. Why would it be? :)

    Gallup has Romney tied after ‘always’ being down… Rasmussen has him down 2 after having him up 2 & nothing happened in the intervening news cycle…

    The polls are a crazy, nutty mess…

    The polls are like the Native American Weather Rock: if rock is cold, it’s cold outside; if rock is wet, it’s raining, etc. These guys wet their fingers with saliva and hold them up in the air to see how the polls are today. It’s about as scientific as bloodletting.

    It’s not only weird – it’s wrong and we should call it wrong. I actually am willing to cut the pollsters a break (I know Geraghty is less generous). Here is my theory as to what is going on with the polling.

    In the past, you would undersample working people especially minorities and oversample older folks. To account for this, pollsters/analyst would adjust the final percentages to population and release the polling. In this method, you always overstated the Democratic strength slightly (the Republican base historically outperforms the Democratic base in turnout). You also didn’t need to worry about Party ID because unless it was a likely model, it kind of washed out at the end. Cell phones have junked up this model. The polls calling cell phones are reaching a historic number of minorities and include a lesser percentage of older folks but when this is run through a model anticipating something different – it was overstating the Democratic strength – more than usual. The two polls that haven’t seen this velocity are gallup and rassmussen – the two polling firms that are pollers as a business model.

    Another caution, NBC/WSJ’s poll of likely voters had Obama +5, when questioned John Harewood said the difference in NBC’s likely poll and Rassmussen’s is Rassmussen adjusted for voter ID while the public polls (i.e. everyone put out by a network or newspaper) didn’t. First, an observation since Gallup & Rassmussen are charging people – they have to pay more attention to actually being in the margin of error. Second, if you are not adjusting to party id; you aren’t modeling an election and calling a goose feather a goose doesn’t make it so. Here is my feeling from the polling id the national turnout is D+3, Barack Obama will be giving his second inaugural in January. At D+3, I hope it rains in Cleveland – seriously I hope it is a monsoon in Cleveland. The reason I go D+3 is I suspect that “Independents” are married, white voters who disapprove of the President.

    Folks, take a hint from this ex-Redstate member: if you think you can come here and flog for Gary Johnson, you’re mistaken. Johnson is not a Republican and every vote that goes to him is a vote against our candidate.

    No. Third. Parties.

    Here’s the difference with Reagan/Carter…We had people who were not “takers”. They admired our country and were willing to die for it. Our culture has changed and that is why poll numbers comparing the two people,Romney and Reagan do not hold water. Reagan, at least knew how to throw the counter punch.

    Streiff…I was talking with a guy out in California…free market guy…and he is voting for Johnson. I tried to persuade him that his vote was wasted…that it was another Perot vote. He didn’t care. Please…oh…please Romney…MAKE A GOOD COMMENT.
