ABC News tracking poll – Oct. 29: Obama strong among middle class voters
In Monday's ABC News/Washington Post poll both President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney have 49 percent of the vote among likely voters.
The poll also found that Obama leads Romney among middle class voters. Sixty-six percent said Obama's policies favor the middle class while only 34 percent said Romney's policies will favor that class.
Last week, likely voters said Romney was the better candidate to handle the economy, leading Obama by nine points. That support then stabilized by the end of the week and by Monday Romney led Obama by only two points, which put the two candidates essentially with even support on the issue among likely voters.

Hey ABC! Just saying it doesn't make it so! With Obama's record, it would be very difficult to find anyone to replace him that would do any worse!
Ya, this "tax cheat" will fix ALL our problems !

@sargerator   Those are all LEGAL tax loopholes....... ya know, instead of being envious of someone achieving the American dream and while OBEYING applicalbe tax laws, be pissed off at the law makers who make those loopholes possible.

@crabbycakes   """"""""Kramer, those loopholes were made to keep the rich rich. Do you see the middle class taking advantage of those loopholes?"""""""
Â
Actually if one is self employed........ many loopholes open to those who are self employed regardless of income. its the W2 employees that get screwed.
Â
I fail to see how anyone should be  mad  at Mittens taking advantage of legal tax policies.  Any anger should be directed at those who CREATE and MAINTAIN the current tax policies, not any individual taking advantage of legal deductions.
Okay ABC. Just keep telling yourself that.Â
The nationâs problems will be solved when Barack Obama and his staff, his cabinet and his czars, his undersecretaries and âspecial assistants,â are finally evicted from their tyrannical and destructive positions of power. The ticket to ending joblessness is replacing the job destroyer with the job creator.  That single act â the replacement of Barack Obama with Mitt Romney â may not do everything we need, but it will do more good with one single flick of a switch than any other action ever could.
The facts about Barack Obama's record are simply indisputable â and disastrous!
â23 Million Unemployed or Underemployed
â49 Million on Food Stamps
â5.5 Million Homes in Crisis/Foreclosure
â$4500 Drop in Household IncomeÂ
â$5.5 Trillion of New Debt
â$716 Billion in Medicare Cuts
â$2.6 Trillion for Obamacare
â$1.9 Trillion in New Taxes in Obamaâs Budget
â100% Increase in Gas Prices
"Four more years of this?
"You've got to be kidding!"
HEY OBAMA, BUSH DIDNâT BUILD THIS, YOU DID!!!

@crabbycakes   So with your logic we can blame Clinton for the first four or five deficit years  of W's presidency??????
Â
BTW, Reagan inherited quite a mess.... the misery index, high unemployment, and 21% mortgages, yet he rarely if all all blamed  Carter.   at the same time in his presidency, (just before the 84 elections) Reagan had unemployment a full percent lower than B HO and the economic growth rate was THREE TIMES  the growth rate of B HO's economy.
Â
Blaming W nearly four years into the B HO presidency onlly demonstrates what epic failure B HO really is. god I HOPE for a CHANGE this November.
@crabbycakes   Better stock up on the meds, Romney is going to have a Reagan style victory just as Reagan was polling about the same or slightly behind Carter just before the election. Hell, gary Johnson is almost putting Mitten in play for Oregon Â
No incumbant polling under 50% has ever won re-election........ and guess where B HO is, thats right south of 50.
No ones policies favor the middle class.

@crabbycakes  that is such a lie.... Most states like Oregon have health insurance for children...... without BarryCare.  The CBO has come out and said that BarryCare is going to hit those making UNDER $112K  a year the hardest.
