ANALYSIS: Mitt Romney's not just treading water, he's underwater when it comes to personal favorability as the clock ticks down to Election Day.
According to the results of a new ABC News-Washington Post poll out this morning, 40 percent of Americans view Romney favorably while 49 percent unfavorably. That means Romney has been "underwater" in 10 consecutive polls this year.

What's more, while the the presumptive Republican nominee's favorables have ticked up by 7 percentage points this year, his unfavorable score is up more than double that -- 18 points.

"Mitt Romney is laboring under the lowest personal popularity ratings for a presumptive presidential nominee in midsummer election-year polls back to 1984," according to ABC News Pollster Gary Langer. President Obama, on the other hand, gets more positive ratings. He is seen favorably by 53 percent of American adults and unfavorably by 43 percent.

Langer notes, "Obama's advantage rests with women, among whom 58 percent see him favorably, vs. 47 percent of men -- the widest gender gap in this measure of the season.

But the real problem for Romney may be among independents. According to the new poll:
--Obama's gained back ground he'd lost among independents. In late May he fell numerically underwater among independents for the first time since December (45-52 percent favorable-unfavorable). He's now back far in front of Romney in this group, largely because of gains among independent women.

--Among all independents, Obama's favorability rating is now 16 points higher than Romney's (53 percent vs. 37 percent). At the same time, that narrows among independents who are registered to vote - 46 percent favorable for Obama, 38 percent for Romney.

mittens is too much of a cold fish...except when he is lying and gives his nervous laugh

oh well
 
Mittens is a traditional east coast establishment pro-business Republican. Though certainly Romney would look after the business class to the detriment of anyone else under the philosophy of "What's good for us is what's good for you." he still has a sense of Nobelese Oblige so I would expect him to governm responsibly and competently. He wouldn't be the ideological disaster Bush was. Still and all, I'm voting for Obama.

Do you believe Obama has governed responsibly and competently?
 
Forget the polls and the money count. The most relevant question to ask is who will be a better puppet for the plutocracy that owns America .. and the answer to that question is Barack Obama by far.

So you don't think that a second term president has far more freedom to buck the system?

They do indeed .. IF bucking the system is what is in their heart and character. I get no sense of that from Obama and I expect that in his second term he will drift even further to the right .. which will be in his best financial interests.

I think you know as well as me that in a first term a Democratic president has to establish their credentials as a kickass leader, far more so than a Republican.

How utterly sad that democrats accept that from their "leadership."

The mindfuck of lesser evil.

That being said, IMO, Obama still goes right in his 2nd term.

I think it is inevitable unless you only want one term Democratic presidents. You have only to look to Truman and see what he did just months after taking over on Roosevelt's death.
