I think this is typical convention hope; I felt the same during the GOP convention...you guys looked desperate trying to prove this lie, that lie. Don't get too optimistic.
And Romney got a 6-point bump in the Rasmussen polling data. So you need to fact check your posts better.
And for clarification I think Romney is a terrible candidate and I only support him because he is NOT Obama. That is an easy sell in swing state America these days. This isn't 2008. We now know who Obama is, and it ain't pretty.

Unlike you, I read all the political polls and don't just pick the one that happens to favor my candidate this week. You telling me to fact check my posts better is laughable. If your posts are any indication, you've lost the ability (if you ever had it) to discern the difference between a fact and the bullshit conservative talking-point propaganda that you spew here.
The fact is that you and your ilk have despised Obama since he was elected, none of this has anything to do with what he's done the past four years, it's your propaganda talking point that you religiously spout at every opportunity and that comes from your whacko conservative entertainment industry megalomaniacs, alive (Limbaugh) and dead (Breitbart). The repukes have done everything possible to attempt to sabotage and obstruct every effort Obama has made to get the country back on track since day one, even if it meant risking the financial security and well-being of the country. Speaking of fact-checks, fact-check why Moody's downgraded the US credit rating last year. It didn't have anything to do with debt repayment ability. It was because of the sudden realization by the credit-rating agencies that the crazy Republicans were willing to drive the bus off the cliff in order to get what they want, the financial well-being of the country be damned.
Mitch McConnell said it early on, he meant it, and the repukes have religiously adhered to it:
"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."

Good luck. You'll need it.
