Poll: Dems have slight edge in 3 key Senate races

Democrats enjoy a slight advantage over their Republican challengers in three key Senate races in Ohio, Florida and Virginia, according to three new NBC-Marist polls released Thursday. Democrats lead by varying margins in a series of contests that could determine whether Republicans are able to achieve the net-gain of four seats they need to retake control of the Senate if President Barack Obama wins re-election; they need to pick up just three seats if the Democratic incumbent loses.

NBC/WSJ poll highlights Obama’s economic vulnerabilities

President Barack Obama’s most glaring vulnerabilities this election cycle are laid bare in the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, in which Americans state the incumbent commander in chief has either made no impact on pocketbook issues – or even made them worse. More respondents stated Obama made worse the budget deficit (47 percent), health care (43 percent), and the partisan divide in politics (39 percent) than those who stated the president had improved – or at least made no ...

Why Obama’s Doubling Down on Bain Capital

Press conferences following NATO summits aren’t usually associated with significant moments in Presidential campaigns, but the comments that President Obama made in Chicago on Monday afternoon about Mitt Romney and Bain Capital may well prove to be an exception. After weeks of jabbing between the campaigns about cultural issues that will probably play a marginal, if still significant, role in determining the election—gay marriage, abortion, and so on—the President squared up to his rival on what he hopes to make ...

NBC/WSJ poll: Obama’s gay-marriage announcement a ‘draw’

Two weeks after President Obama announced he supports gay marriage, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that his announcement — politically — looks to be a wash. President Barack Obama gestures upon arriving at Joplin Regional Airport aboard Air Force One in Missouri.

Romney hasn’t reached financial parity with Obama — yet

President Obama and his allies continue to hold a sizable fund-raising advantage over Mitt Romney and his allies, including a 2-to-1 edge in available cash, according to the latest totals filed with the Federal Election Commission. The numbers show that Team Obama (the campaign, the DNC, and the major pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA Action) had a combined $144 million cash on hand as of April 30, and it raised $41.7 million last month. That’s compared with the $77.5 million ...

Rubio: Obama most ‘divisive figure’ in politics

COLUMBIA, SC — Florida Sen. Marco Rubio on Saturday slammed President Barack Obama for being the most divisive figure in American politics. “The man who this day occupies the White House and is running for president is a very different person,” Rubio stated at a high-profile GOP fundraiser, where he claimed Obama has abandoned the ideals he ran on in 2008. “We have not seen such a divisive figure in modern American history than we have over the last three ...

Was Obama’s Bio a "Fact-Checking" Error?

Unless you’re a credulous rube, it sure does look like Obama told his literary bureau that he was born in Kenya for some reason. And the false information wasn’t corrected until April 2007, a couple of months after he launched his presidential campaign. “But wait,” you protest. “How do you know Obama wrote that? How do you know he ever even saw it? Shut up!” Well, we all know that Obama is the exception to every rule, so maybe he’s ...

Romney’s ‘Day One’: What do we know about his plan?

Mitt Romney has outlined a bold agenda to spur economic growth and create jobs. On his first day in office, he will approve the Keystone pipeline, introduce pro-growth tax reforms, and repeal Obamacare. Forget a president’s first 100 days. Mitt Romney’s first tv ad of the general election, “Day One,” comes as close as anything in describing the most urgent priorities of a President Romney upon taking office. The ad is running in five swing states, and the presumptive GOP ...

Obama’s Career-Long Electoral Strategy
