Hail Voltaire
As Mitt Romney and President Obama get ready for their second debate, a new bipartisan survey shows a surge for Romney in a key voter group following their first debate Oct. 3.

The random cell phone and landline poll of 600 likely rural voters in nine battleground states Oct. 9-11 has Romney at 59 percent among the survey's respondents. Obama's support is now down to 37 percent among rural battleground voters, a plunge of 10 percent from the actual rural vote in those states four years ago.

Of course it's a landslide in rural counties, and goes the other way in highly Urban areas. Full marks, next thing you'll announce the stunning majority Obama holds in New York and Pennsylvania while Romney is strong in Texas.
 
Thank you Captain Obvious! Yea....farmers....that's who we want leading our nation....people with a real vision for the future! Pig Shit for everyone!!!!

This must be very worrying for Obama, since rural counties are so heavily populated.
 
Rural People?!!

These so-called rural people are largely poor and under-educated and their needs are simple too?!! Guns, God, and Beer, why people who don't have a pot to piss in, would vote republican is beyond me?

Dear dumbasses,

Apparently I need to point out the obvious. As noted in the article, Romney's lead constitutes "a plunge of 10 percent (by Obama) from the actual rural vote in those states four years ago."

You fools are so blind to reality that you don't even see the writing on the wall. While it is possible for Obama to win, it is becoming less likely by the day.

Because rural people are inately conservative. You don't live out in a rural area cause your progressive by nature if you see my point? Most people choose the rural lifestyle because it's less progressive, meaning less change.

To give you an example of what I mean. My family in rural Ohio rarely comes to Columbus to visit me even though it's only an hours drive. Why? Cause they freak out over the traffic. Even non-rush hour traffic stresses the hell out of them. Can you imagine them dealing with the multicultural aspects and the frenetic energy of big city life? Mmmm probably not.

Uhhh we're blind? Look, Romney has made some gains but every indicator I'm seeing is predicting an Obama win. Romney is still significantly behind. The only thing that's changed in the last month that is of significance is Romney has gained Florida.

As for the change in rural voters....well...ok....uhh....last I heard most people live in cities.
 
I know a lot of farmers in Alberta. I certainly wouldn't want them deciding the future of a country. I was simply noting the significance of Obama's 10-point drop amongst rural voters in swing states. The fact of the matter is, Obama isn't going to do better than in '08 amongst any voter group. That is a very serious problem for Obama. As Medved puts it, history and logic make Obama a likely loser.

I will agree with your observation but not your conclusion. The problem Romney has is that he's an upper class plutocrat. To state the obvious Romney will do what is good for corporations. The problem is, is that good for you?

Republicans have always tried to sell people on the idea that what is good for the people at the top of the economic ladder is ALWAYS what is good fore everyone. That is just demonstrably not so. Nor have a lot of people forgotten that it was Republican policies that created this mess.

So our choices are stark. We can go with the guy who's done a reasonable job of keeping the hole from getting deeper or we can vote for the party that drove us into the hole in the first place.

I also think Republican picked a bad time to run a Wall Street corporate raider for President.
 
I am one of those people that think Romney will actually win the election easily,and that things are NOT neck and neck as the polls seem to indicate. Provided that Romney doesn't stumble in some major way, I believe that you can add another 1-2% to Romney's leads in the polls.Also, I think the other shoe will continue to drop as far as Lybia goes,and Obama will continue slipping. If Romney somehow wins PA, then we may know pretty early on Election night that he has won the election. I still think he wins Ohio,and there is some chatter that some of his insiders in OH are pretty worried that Obama will indeed lose his stronghold there.
