ABC News tracking poll – Oct. 30: Gender gap tightens
The daily presidential ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll is out for Tuesday and the results show a smaller gender gap and closer race among independents.
But the poll found the race between Republican Mitt Romney and Democratic President Barack Obama is still tied – 48 percent of likely voters are choosing Obama while 49 percent are siding with Romney.
The poll found that 50 percent of women support Obama while 48 percent support Romney. That’s narrower than the 56-41 from last week. But Obama has narrowed the gap among men. Last week Romney led 57-40 but this week he only leads by five points, 51-46.
Romney led among independents by 20 points last week but now only leads Obama by seven.
The poll notes that it is possible one candidate could win the popular vote but lose in the Electoral College.
What is still unanswerable is what impact, if any, Superstorm Sandy will have on the election.
under a romney leadership....

"hello this is 911"
"yes, we need help fast"
"ok, give me your credit card number"
Â
D'OH
You reichwingers still haven't explained (except for one guys lame "you take it too") how this makes romney capable of being prez after taking the outh of office....really explain tax dodging, war dodging, hiding tax returns that may resolve whether he had money in illegal offshore tax avoidance bank accounts....come on guys, hows this patriotic....remember how if "anyone questioned what the village idiot was doing was unpatriotic"....well

Obama: 1 term POTUS. I don't care if his challenger is also a 1 term POTUS. The current President may carry Oregon, but he will lose the election.
 @Bob McMasterson I hope you are right the future of our country is riding on it,,,although with enough idiots voting for more free stuff and government control I fear we are only delaying becoming the next Greece even if Romney wins...

 @crabbycakes Ya because the other guy is such a shinning ray of integrity, ethics, and morals and has never lied to the public. That is about the saddest pro argument I have heard for Obama in a long time even your buddy Chris M could do better then that.

@FreedomRocks @wahoo @crabbycakes http://www.politifact.com/personalities/mitt-romney/statements/byruling/false/ Here's 30 of them hope this helps you out. You will not find this on Fox
   @wahoo I've always thought the Democratic party was supposed to be the "party of tolerance". During this election cycle the number of posts I've read here and on other sites bashing Romney for his religion has appalled me. The US Constitution grants the freedom of religion as a basic right. This country was settled by people fleeing religious persecution. I am not Mormon nor do I subscribe to their beliefs, however i do respect their right to have them and follow them. When I enlisted in the Army, I took an oath to uphold the Constitution and I still believe in that oath. When I see a post like yours bashing someones beliefs I makes me wonder if you support Obama by day and go to Klan meetings at night. If you don't like a candidate, don't attack their religion/faith, family etc. Go after their policy's and records.
 @wahoo  @FreedomRocks  @crabbycakes Can you name 5 lies and site the source that shows it really is a lie and no Chris Mathews is not a valid source...
Â
Also I am not talking about changing your mind either Obama has done lots of that as well but he also has done out and out lies like everything about Libya. Unless you want to start getting into Bill Clinton land and start discussing what the meaning of it's a video is. IE is is slang for terrorism in the democratic world?
 @crabbycakes If you add jobs in China as the quoted article says, how is that saving jobs here?
We need a new president...obama has done great harm to this country.
 @sortbait And how exactly did he do that? By not cleaning up Bush's mess fast enough?
 @Morgan/Wilson2012  @sortbait No by making it worse by 6 trillion, blowing 1T on money to his buddies, slowing economic growth with his polices and loons he put in charge of government depts like the EPA. Lying to the people about everything from Obamacare to Libya. The guy has been a giant loser and needs to go...
 @Morgan/Wilson2012  @sortbait Since he has allowed congress to break the law for 3 years and not pass a budget it makes that a little harder but I am more a bottom line guy anyway starting debt 12T ending debt 16T+ even a 1st grader can do the math on that one...
 @FreedomRocks  @sortbait Can you itemize Obama's spending? What did he increase spending to pay for? Obama cut taxes more severely than Bush did, expanded offshore drilling and pretty much enacted Conservative economic policies which Romney will actually continue.
Rather than be selfish and just think about myself this election, i'll think about my parents in their 80's and my few employees that I can still employ, and my kid the Black Hawk pilot, and countless others that I don't know, and I'll vote for Romney. No amount of polls or carefully crafted commercials will change my vote.Â
"and my kid the Black Hawk pilot", so you get extra points ????
Â
Cue that large flag dropping in the background, the sun gleeming across fields of wheat, the laughing blond haired children and turn up "america the beautiful"....ahhhh patriotism...nothing says it like putting your money in offshore accounts, or signing an agreement with the irs to move your money back to the US after getting caught hiding it in a foreign tax avoiding bank account or yes, setting up a million dollar trust fund with your church so you can bleed it dry while the church may see none of the money AND avoid taxes on all of it....
Â
Yep as patriotic as, "while my son fights for YOUR freedom" blah, blah !
 @sargerator Not my son. My daughter.
 @noneofyourbizzness I'm very proud of her. Very proud! And thank you for your appreciation of her, I'll pass it on.
@last boyscout @crabbycakes I'm greatful for your daughter's sacrifice and service and am always impressed with women who break the glass ceiling.You must be proud.
 @last boyscout  @crabbycakes Boyscout, I liken your "discussion" with the aptly-named "crabbycakes" as playing chess with a pigeon - he knocks over the pieces, craps on the board, and then flies back to his flock to brag about how he won.
"wager $10,000".......hey...romney ? that explains the out-of-touch thingy
Â
still goes daughter, son, grandma....sounds "over the top" patriotic as you support a very unpatriotic guy...still gotta ask for those tax returns romney won't give up...just suppose he's not giving them up because it will show he DID sign an agreement to get his money back into the US out of an illegal tax avoidance bank account in USB ?? why isn't he just showing them...gotta wonder...
Â
ok, I'll cue the huge flag and all...please continue mr romney....
@crabbycakes
crabbycakes How about if you put your money where your mouth is. lets wager $10,000 dollars that say's my daughter IS a Black Hawk pilot. Lets go punk. Put up or shut up.

 @crabbycakes Actually I do it shows there is still hope for this country and I am not completely surrounded by socialists that want the government teat to suck on endlessly while I pay for it.
B HO..... out the door in four
If you're looking for the safe choice, you shouldn't be supporting a black guy named Barack Obama to be the next leader of the free world.      Barack Obama   His words, not mine.
This comment has been deleted
@crabbycakes    ..... he may be the leader of the free world, but he's so inept he can't stop blaming his failures on W.
 @Bob McMasterson Incompetence such as increasing stimulus spending to forestall total financial collapse caused by conservative policies and the aforementioned ill-advised war in Iraq? Romnesia is a real disease and you sir have a severe case.
 @FreedomRocks  @Morgan/Wilson2012  @kramr Yeah, um, Bush was in office long enough to ignore memos stating that Bin Laden was determined to attack within the United States, and for his Attorney General (who covered the statue of justice because it was too racy......imagine if Holder had done that....) to tell his underlings he was "sick of hearing about this Bin Laden guy.": The Bush Administration was an out-and-out failure, but of course the party of Personal Responsibility takes no ownership of this chimpanzee-cum-politician.
HA ! clintond fault....there you go again....no, no, not the village idiots fault, he wasn't in long enough to learn to read PDB's....HA !
 @Morgan/Wilson2012  @kramr Ya 911 is really on Clinton not Bush. Check the calendar he was not in office long enough to do much about it.
@Morgan/Wilson2012 Keep pointing at the last guy. Those of us who are voting against the incumbent are doing so because of HIS incompetence.
Â
Obama... FIRED in 2012
 @kramr It's pretty easy to blame Bush when we had the worst terrorist attack on US soil, a blunderfest of a war in Iraq which was put on the credit card, and a financial crisis caused by Conservative economic policies stressing deregulation of the financial industry all happen on his watch. ;)
And the black gap...oh, that's right, there isn't one. It's 99%. Â And they call the white man racist.
Governor Romney wanted to let Detroit go bankrupt (his editorial, not mine).
Â
Mr Romney wanted to let home foreclosures hit bottom (his words, not mine).
Â
He says we can't afford FEMA and we should turn it over to the states. (his words, not mine)........Â
Â
Governor Romney is a very dangerous man. Certainly the wrong type of leader for these precarious times.
 @Chas Holman Funny, you say those things as if they were bad. The auto companies SHOULD have gone through bankruptcy, so they could reorganize. Instead, 0bama shafted the investors to prop up his union whores
Â
The more the government screws wit markets, the more they get warped and distorted.
Â
Why not let the states manage their own emergency relief? It's not as if the federal government has infinite money - despite the fact that they spend as if it is. Besides, it seems as if local control could be faster, more targeted, and more effective.
 @Chas Holman ^ With. Damn, I hate this LiveFyre crap with a passion. At least you could edit your posts with IntenseDebate.
 @Chas Holman We have a legal process for going bankrupt. Obama threw that out the window so he could pay off the unions and screw the investors. Either we live in a country of laws that apply equally to all or eventually the system falls apart completely.
@Chas Holman    ya, cause spending us into the next greece is the superior way to go.......
 @kramr  @Chas Can you itemize all of Obama's spending? I'll give you Obamacare, no question, but how much of Obama's spending is related to the insane war in Iraq (where are the WMDs?!) and the financial crisis all happening during W's tenure in office?
@Morgan/Wilson2012 Obamacare is enough for me... He's inpet no matter how much you try to deflect to the guy before him.
