The Ryan Bump: New Zogby Poll Shows Huge Boost for Romney in Swing States « Nice Deb
Bump.
According to a new poll by JZ Analytics, Mitt Romney has gotten a very definite bump upwards with the selection of Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate.
Clearly there is a Ryan bump, pollster John Zogby, managing of JZ Analytics, told Newsmax. Significantly, the new poll shows the Romney/Ryan ticket with a substantial lead among voters in swing states, 49.1 percent to 41.2 percent.
Also, the Republican ticket garners 45.2 percent among independent voters, ahead of the Democratic ticket at 40.1. Obama led in an earlier poll of independents. That shows that the Ryan choice has not hurt the Republican ticket in this important demographic, and has actually helped.
Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan the freshly minted Republican vice presidential candidate got an immediate ratings boost in the wake of his selection as Mitt Romneys running-mate, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. Little known nationally before Saturdays announcement, favorable impressions of Ryan jumped 15 percentage points among the overall electorate with positive views soaring from 49 to 70 percent among conservative Republicans. In Wednesday through Friday interviews, fully 45 percent of Americans expressed no opinion of Ryan, dropping to 30 percent on Saturday and Sunday. The increasing familiarity all went to the positive side of the ledger, giving Ryan an initial advantage in the sprint to define his candidacy.
Prior to his selection, Ryans favorability rating among senior citizens was evenly split at 28/28. It has now jumped to 46 percent favorable, 28 percent unfavorable. This explains why Democrats are desperately rushing to distort Ryans plan in a bid to strike fear into the hearts of elderly voters.
