ABC News tracking poll – Nov. 2: Most think country on wrong track
Friday's ABC News/Washington Post daily track poll found that 55 percent of likely voters think the country is going in the wrong direction while 43 percent said it is going in the right direction.
While this has made President Barack Obama’s race for re-election challenging, the poll notes that George W. Bush in his successful 2004 re-election bid faced a similar situation.
Meanwhile, the race is still tight. Among likely voters, 48 percent support the Democrat incumbent while 49 support his Republican rival Mitt Romney.
- ABC News tracking poll – Nov. 1: More confidence in Romney for recovery
- ABC News tracking poll – Oct. 31 – Storm doesn't change dynamics of race
- ABC News tracking poll – Oct. 30: Gender gap tightens
- ABC News tracking poll – Oct. 29: Obama strong among middle class voters
- Oct. 26 tracking poll: Romney gains on economy stabilize
- Oct. 25 tracking poll – Voters trust Romney on economy
- Read past polls
And the dumbarse has a good chance of being re-elected.
The country is on the wrong track... for the bottom 99%, but for the two party monopoly and thier puppetmaster ilk things are going according to plan.
@2easy2berightback  The redistribution of American earnings/savings. You mean the 52% of the USA population who pay NO tax but have 47% receiving welfare from the Feds and you and the Feds want to tax more,  those who already pay an unfair share, so the feds can hand feed and hand out more welfare bennies?
Finally we are going to get our Freedom back!

Here again if you read the body of the story it spells big trouble for Obama. Almost all of those independent votes and most of the undecided at this late stage will not go to the incumbent .....Hard to believe so many people want four more years like the past four years. 23m people looking for full time employment, 47m people dependent on government for food, 1 in 6 people in poverty. America needs jobs not more empty promises and failed policies.
Ha ! the ly'n king is already looking at loosing ! Hilarious, anybody know who the last person to leak this "I have other plans too" comment ?? Anybody ?? Hint, "gotcha", "wink, wink", fursure"....yep, what happened then ?

@sargerator ........I don't think anybody is trying your links. Because God knows, everything on the Internet is the truth
Oh ya, don't you think the ,"don't think anybody is trying your links", is a little like believing you're a "legend in your own mind" attitude....just saying, seems overly arrogant ??
@sargerator .......boy, you get pretty nasty when someone gives you a suggestion. Hope you don't share this meanness with your family
Ya, the "don't look behind the curtain" theme seems to work well for republiCON candidate constituents.
Â
Oh and the AP, ya real suspicious, not you're good 'ol fauxe nooze "no spin" (sarcasm) !
Who does abc poll , only the wealthy ??
Â
"President Obama has taken away Mitt Romneyâs longstanding advantage as the candidate voters say is most likely to restore the economy and create jobs, according to the latest poll by The New York Times and CBS News, which found a modest sense of optimism among Americans that White House policies are working."

Â
Â
Not bad results for a poll that over samples democrats by an 8% to 9% advantage. It's surprising that Obama even gets that close.Â
@last boyscout ........how do you know that? I've always been curious about polling and how people respond.
Hmmm, 72 million reg/ dems, 55 million reg. repubs and 42 million indep. so...
Â
43 % dems, 33 % repubs and 24 %Â indep. .....so ....
so unemployment has gone below 8%, house market is going up, consumer confidence is going up and.... WHAT ??
 @oh4FS @sargerator Tthe numbers reported are wrpught with missing data and elements critical to a reality of FULL disclosure. You don't have to be a foriensic anyalist to know the books are cooked......Wag the dog is reality and ALL the true unemployed are screaming for incomes.
Â
Housing.....the banks are holding off the market about 50% of the forclosed and repo'ed homes. When they hit the housing market values will dive again against these "value" priced homes for all the people who have good jobs and consistant income. They are keeping this inventory off the market untill after the election. Good luck with home values, and your choice of "leadership" vote.
"the banks are holding off the market about 50% of the forclosed"
Â
I haven't read animal that resembles that, perhaps a citing ?
@sargerator  Sorry I won't waste my time for you. Active Rain...these professionals are hip deep in the negotiations and flow of properties. For many this is their specialty and they do nothing else. They are assigned inventory to move, or are assigned as proxy for a lender as a lead.  Insider info openly discussed. Â
Â
Oh, come on, cite some article, there are reputable cites you know...saying I know some people who say they heard from their brothers employer that a guy in the industry mentioned ....
Â
Come on, you can understand my skeptisism, I would expect the same from you !
Â
activerain...a real estate brokers asvertising-blog board for investigative reporting ???? Come on
@sargerator  Two Clark/Skamaina County REALTOR's who are liasons specializing in Bank take aways, confirmed by Skamania County Tax assessors.
Also material found on Active Rain, a market place connnect.Â
@sargerator .......yup, things are just sooooo much better (sarc)
You do remember the market crash of 2008...and who was in charge ? and which candidate want to double down on the village idiot plans ?
Â
How soon we forget !
 @sargerator tries to obfuscate by spewing:
"You're blaming aphids on obama ?? HA, typical !"
Â
No, you can put words into Rob C 503 post all you want, and the liberals might believe you.
But Rob exposes the liberal policies of the Obama regime by blaming Bush for the bug infestation.
Hummm, get it?
Now, if you would have called Rob a Racist because of his possible hatred for Obama's Marxist tendencies, well... I could call you a Master Race Baiter. Â
"You have to go back to the Clinton administration! He removed the safe guards placed in 1939 after the depression to prevent just what happened."
Â
Actually he signed it into law, maybe what you don't understand is "legislation is done by congress and that bill has the writers names on it and they are all senate republiCONs graham, bleahley and leach.
Â
Oh and by the way clinton has said he regrets it AND the demecratic members of congress have tried to resend that law back to the glass-steagall act but who do you think is blocking that ?? the party affiliation starts with an "R"
You're blaming aphids on obama ?? HA, typical !
@sargerator You have to go back to the Clinton administration! He removed the safe guards placed in 1939 after the depression to prevent just what happened. He forced the banks to lower qualifications under penalty to get the housing market flowing and the securitys bundled and sold.
Â
He looked good but Bush was left with the fallout. and if you check your Congressional records Bush tried on several occasions to stop the sellout, but the Democraticaly held Congress was not interested.
@sargerator ......oh that's right. That was all George Bushs fault. And Sandy, Libya, Solindra, Unemployment, Sam Adams and my roses getting aphids.

The only poll that matters is the one on Nov. 6th.
Â
Unless of course the candidate has lost and the election is close, then the lawyers and maybe the SCOTUS will decide.

'ABC News tracking poll â Nov. 2: Most think country on wrong track' Didn't take a poll to figure that out. Just look who is running(ruining) the country - oblahblah and the democraps.
@theobserver you want to see true destruction of this country? Look no further than the years from 2000-2008 which BTW Romney seemed to love since he wants to return the country to it. Unless its social issues, then he much prefers the 1850s.
@Ramsesthegreat

 @sargerator , in typical lazy CommieRat fashion, needs a link because mommies busy:
Â
President Barack Obama was a pioneering contributor to the national subprime real estate bubble, and roughly half of the 186 African-American clients in his landmark 1995 mortgage discrimination lawsuit against Citibank have since gone bankrupt or received foreclosure notices.
As few as 19 of those 186 clients still own homes with clean credit ratings, following a decade in which Obama and other progressives pushed banks to provide mortgages to poor African Americans.
The startling failure rate among Obamaâs private sector clients was discovered during The Daily Callerâs review of previously unpublished court information from the lawsuit that a young Obama worked on as an attorney for the lead plaintiff.

Come on, I'd respond with my evidence...well unless I relied on realtor sites for my citings !
@sargerator  Old, Old news dig it up yourself.
"and if you check your Congressional records Bush tried on several occasions to stop the sellout, but the Democraticaly held Congress was not interested" ???
Â
What sell out ?? abain, maybe a cite ?
If that picture doesn't scare you.....nothing will. Presidential??
So a guy in a white shirt scares you or one wearing a pink bracelet....oh I get it your scared of.....
@Rob C 503 look at some pictures of some of the Republican congressmen, they look like evil incarnate.
The country is going in the wrong direction and it is all obamas fault.
@sortbait just like it was the democratic congresses fault during the Bush years, right? But now that its obstructionist Republicans in office, it's all the presidents fault, right?
This comment has been deleted
@wahoo ........yeah that's it. And with it all being George Bush's fault and the media providing promotion and protection, nothing can be the responsibility of our Teflon president.
I wonder how many, aside from myself, think this country is going in the wrong direction in several areas and that neither of the major party candidates for President are going to change that direction?
 @JTesla your defeatist apathy is how Hitler got into power.
Obama is banking on the MSM to distort, lie and cover the extreme left wing ideology of the DNC chosen zer0, the negative one plus 0ne candidate..
Â
You see, the Lame Stream Media has gained a lot of wisdom from Joseph Goebbels (worship for the Father of Lies) and the mistakes from the National Socialist German Worker's Party (NSDAP).
The Media will not make the same mistakes as the NSDAP (aka: NAZI), since Goebbels used out-dated propaganda techniques to ideologically prepare the German people for aggressive warfare.
Â
Propaganda is MUCH more subtle and effective in modern media, even subliminal messages are old school.
