The latest and the greatest showing Romney pulling away in the key battleground states.

27 Ocotber 2012


The full Swing State tracking update offers Rasmussen Reader subscribers a combined view of the results from 11 key states won by President Obama in 2008 and thought to be competitive in 2012. The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney earns 51% of the vote to Obama’s 45%. Two percent (2%) like another candidate in the race, and another two percent (2%) are undecided.
Romney has now led for 10 straight days. This is his highest level of support to date in the combined swing states, up five points from a month ago. This survey is conducted on a rolling seven-day basis, and now most of the interviews for today’s update were completed after Monday night’s final presidential debate

I can tell ya this...If Obama wins we will be closing down our doors with our business...if Romney wins we will not. So for our employees sake I hope Romney wins.
 
Obama will win unless you live in a swing state and get every registered voter you can to vote for Romney, and then it is just a longshot. The DNC is putting all hands into OH already identifying democrats and dragging them to the polls.

You are not alone......If Obama wins it will be the biggest disaster in the history of this country..............Taxes will skyrocket....the debt will go to 20 trillion.......Businesses will close.........Inflation will run rampart and interest rates will go up to 15 and 20 percent..........I can understand black people voting for Obama but why anyone else would is beyond me.

Why are you so negative? Did you even look at the poll I posted?

Yes. I don't believe it. Sorry. While possible to win without it, Romney will not win Ohio. He is down and the dems are already throwing its entire grassroots effort into that state. It just isn't going to happen now that the state is already voting.

We cant afford all that he is throwing at us....we have a small business and everything he has said he would do for small businesses was a load of you know what....we cant afford Obamacare and we cant afford the taxes coming our way....and the fact that no one is buying a thing and we also sell a lot to the military and they have absolutely no money to even order a screwdriver....If Romney gets in then we dont have to worry about OC or the increases of taxes on our small business....this is only a couple reasons what Obama has done when it comes to small businesses.

Good luck in your new endeavor. your business is toast. It couldn't have been worth much. I bet your employees would rather be collecting unemployment anyway.
You sound like a real............

WTH are you talking about.....we pay our employees $8 over the Ca. minimum wage with a raise every 6 months in addition commission pay......we give them healthcare with kaiser(we only charge them $35 a month) which with OC has gone up not down and we can no longer afford.....and we have a free day care for their kids......not to mention 2 weeks off for vacation a year to start and after 3 years with the company they get 3. The only reason we have held on this long is because of our employees....so you have no clue.....

just because I stated that we will HAVE TO close our doors if Obama is elected because of what he is doing to regulate us and with taxes you come back instead of discussing it but instead with a remark that " I bet your employees would rather be collecting unemployment anyway" as if they would rather not be working for us or working at all...and then to state my business cant be worth much....MY BUSINESS IN MY LIVELY HOOD...not to mention my employees livelihood. The economy has killed us...Obamas economy has killed us...and IMO the last 2 years were on him.....this economy is his to bare....and this is coming from a life long liberal that campaigned for Hillary....ME.

If Obama wins there will be no unemployment payment........The Golden Goose will run dry........You just can't keep pushing food stamps and unemployment compensation.

Great post, and a scenario that is very common in the U.S. now. We need a new president, it's as simple as that. Do I hate Obama? No, he seems like a great guy. But, Obama is not presidential material. He gave it a noble try, but he failed. There is no reason at all to re-hire what we've had in the White House for the past four years.

When you say you're a small business, what do you mean, exactly? How many employees do you have? What are these new taxes you're talking about? Since you say you're already providing insurance, how will OC hurt you?

thats a bit personal but can give you this....we normally employee anywhere between 35-55 employees at a time...we are a telemarketing company...so some come and go depending on if the job is right for them......we pay all but $35 bucks for their healthcare which has gone up/the premiums since OC has been implemented, and not by a small margin I have to add...which will force us to pass that on to our employees....we had grossed over the $250,000 mark(sorry wont tell you how much just the amount that Obama says he will tax those who make over this amount) which would put us at a much higher tax bracket(if we get back to that again) .....we prefer to pass a lot of our income onto the employees pay by giving them free child care and higher wages and higher commission...and my husband and I also pay ourselves a salary...for me as the office manager I only pay myself $10 an hr much lower then our employees because I have my husbands salary...which we have cut dramatically so to keep our employees at a higher rate....

our moto is treat your employees awesome and they will return the favor....and they do. We have had to cut back our employees ....way back due to the economy....no one is buying and no one has any money...we have kept our best sales force in tact but we are all struggling...our biggest buyers were the military.....no more...they have no money and cant even by a screwdriver or envelopes....if Obama states he has helped small business...he has not he has killed us and many of our friends who run small businesses....since we sell to many large companies they will not have the money to purchase because they will be bogged down with OC and higher taxes.....making our business smaller and smaller.....so when it is said that Obama will kill small businesses by the economists...they aint kidding.....we will be forced to shut down and just work from our home...supporting just us. If Romney gets in what he is offering us and what he is offering to the big companies that buy from us will get things moving.....what Obama is offering us(big and small) will make us have to cut costs and cut workers.....the companies that are stating if Obama gets in they will be doing what we are doing.....them cutting thousands of employees is not fabricated as Obama wants to make it sound....this life long liberal wants not one more minute of 4 more years of this!!!

I also want to add that as of 4 years ago...that is when this life long liberal started to lean more and more right...and today even though I am still registered as a Democrat will be staying on the Right side of things..
