On Thursday, September 26, the New York Times and CBS released the results of their joint polling in three critical swing states: Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. According to their polling, Obama now leads Romney by 10 points in Ohio; 9 points in Florida; and, 12 points in Pennsylvania. My problem is that, in the case of each of those states, Obama is doing better in this poll than he did in 2008 when he beat McCain. And, that's a little hard to believe with Obama's lousy record and lowered approval ratings.
In Ohio, for example, Obama won the state by only 4 points in 2008. Yet, the "Times" and CBS polling says that, if the elections were held today, he would win by 10 points. In Florida, Obama only beat McCain by 2-1/2 points. Now, in Pennsylvania, he did win big with an 11 point lead, but, can anyone really believe that the results will be better than they were in 2008? In reality, my bet is that Romney is actually quite close to Obama in each of those states; if not leading in at least two.
These three polls just prove that, once again, those two liberal media outlets are in the tank for Obama. The intent of showing him with such large leads is to discourage the Romney voter from wasting their time voting for someone that is going to lose, anyway. It is a form of voter suppression. And, it is disgusting.
