| President Obama has maintained a five-point lead in the crucial swing state of Ohio, according to a new Quinnipiac University/CBS News/New York Times poll of likely voters. The survey found that Mitt Romney has gained ground in Florida and Virginia, where the race is now effectively tied. Mr. Obama now leads Romney 50 percent to 45 percent among likely voters in Ohio - exactly where the race stood on Oct. 22. His lead in Florida, however, has shrunk from nine points in September to just one point in the new survey, which shows Mr. Obama with 48 percent support and Romney with 47

More BS polling numbers. I posted this. The internals for Likely Voters for FL, OH and VA are R 30, 29, 27 - for Dems 37, 37, 35 for D+7, +8, +8. Unbelievable.
Please split long headline, put no more than two authors in byline & post to word limit as shown. LCom Staff.

Election eve 1996, cbs/nytimes poll called presidential election for clinton +18. The actual margin was 7.??? percent. The day after the election, these "pollsters" scrambled to make excuses for why their numbers were so far off.

Yes these are D+7 or 8 polls. The Ind results are also revealing with those breaking for Romney. Essentially those polls really tell us that Romney will win all those states.

And when Obama loses Ohio big, they will point to these numbers as "proof" that the Republicans must have cheated.

#3, 0bama raises campaign money from legal or illegal sources, and funnels this ''found'' money to 0bama's friends in the media to buy advertising and favorable press coverage.

I found the real internals of this poll hidden in a drawer at CBS headquarters. Turns out they polled only 10 people, all CBS reporters and all democrats.

What #9 and all other posters who aren't fooled by "fantasy" polling being done by "pollsters" who have their own agenda! obama hasn't had 50% since he was elected, and he sure doesn't have it now. Nice try, quinnipiac/cbs/NYslimes. Seriously. Thanks for the laugh!

I did. Imus

CBS News polls have consistently been the most dishonest. In some instances, completely apart from the "D+" deception, their results are grossly out of line with other polls. This suggests the use of selective samples. In other words, completely fraudulent numbers. Take CBS out of the poll averages, and Romney's number improve dramatically.

#11 Won't it be interesting to see whether Scarborough is happy if Romney wins?
Quinnipiac is almost always skewed liberal. Ditto CBS.

Kettering - First it was off, then it was on, then “on hold,” but when the doors of James S. Trent Arena opened at 8 a.m. today, a few hundred supporters of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney were there, bearing bags of canned goods, cartons of bottled water and packages of diapers to donate to victims of the storm that flooded much of the East Coast Monday. At shortly before noon, cheers erupted near the line of donations: It was Romney, in jeans and a checked shirt, greeting the crowd of about 2,500. “We have heavy hearts, as you know, with all the suffering going on” he said.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.
