Poll: Romney leads Obama in Florida by 7 points | The Ticket - Yahoo! News

(That poll is an outlier of course). It'll be interesting if this debate stops the slide in polls.

If Romney wins, you get to control my avatar for a month (each of you will own it for a month). If Obama wins, I get to own your avatar for a month. What say you?

Obama's win will depend on which way Ohio goes. But yeah I will take the bet.

Now down to ~60% in the forecast....

Gambhiring you say?

Spark · 12-10-2012, 08:49 PM

60% > 50% IIRC

There's a big difference between saying that the race is very close (which it is) and saying Obama has hardly any hope of winning, based on "people being stupid" which is the argument some people are making here. Perspective ffs.

silentstriker · 12-10-2012, 08:56 PM

He was at 85%+ a week ago....

It's not just the debates either...they've been just completely dominating the airways with ads in the last month too. Those eight figure donations will come in handy here.

Spark · 12-10-2012, 09:30 PM

Yes, because he had a 4+ point lead. Now it's effectively tied, with maybe a small national lead towards Romney with Obama having a swing state buffer.

This is the debate, and really only the debate, since immediately before the debate Obama was marching his way to a minor landslide.

silentstriker · 12-10-2012, 10:27 PM

Now the underdog in Florida, Virginia. Clinging to a very diminished lead in Ohio. And still three weeks to go. I'll bet that by this time next week, he'll be <50% chance to win.
