Gallup has him up by 2.

Gallup Presidential Election Trial Heat Results: Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney

i guess the three polls that have the president up by 7 and the fox news poll that has him up by 9 are irrelevant so long as you have one that you like.

RCP Average -- Obama by 3.7

So did McCain and look what happened. I don't think Obama has as much momentum as he did 4 years ago but I feel pretty certain he'll win. For me, he is the lesser of 2 evils due to his stance on women's and other social rights and freedoms for the most part. And I think neither candidate (or any for that matter) can significantly affect the economy for the average person.

I feel just the opposite. I don't think the president can affect women's rights or people's freedoms but do affect the economy greatly! That's why the economic issues weigh so heavily in this election.

The trend is certainly against obama. Polls are a part of it, but they change, that's why obama is relying not only on polls, but other factors as well, those who show up and fundraising. The trend is going against obama and trends have more of a tendency to accelerate and grow in the direction of the trend than it is to reverse direction and go another way.

Whether or not a president can affect women's rights, democrats are betting that women will vote for a man who says 'Don't worry about a thing, baby, I'll take care of ya."

The trend is the independents busting out for Obama.

Reagan was down by 8 points at this exact point in time.

Not doubting you, but I'd really like a link for that.

Just so I could use it against the trolls

Actually the point is, "This is August.....they are ALL irrelevant"
