Obama edges past Romney in latest national UConn/Courant poll

Source: Middletown Press

STORRS – A national poll taken by the University of Connecticut/Hartford Courant shows President Barack Obama ahead of Republican Mitt Romney, but only by 3 percentage points with just six percent undecided.

It concluded on the night of the second debate between the two men, so many who responded had not seen it, according to the poll which was released Friday.

The nationwide tally of likely voters had Obama and Vice President Joe Biden with 48 percent and Romney and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan with 45 percent.

Women favored Obama 55 percent to 38 percent for Romney, while Romney had the backing of men 53 percent to 41 percent.

Stop worrying and do something. Phone bank. Donate. Knock on doors. Put up a yard sign, bumper stickers, wear Obama t-shirts to show your support and encourage others. We can't just curl up into the fetal position.

Yes, there is a lot of illegal crazy crap going on. If you see anything sketchy, report it and raise a huge stink. The U.S. Department of Justice is kicking butt in court over this crap. Holder is doing he job and we need to do ours.
