The Philadelphia Inquirer, owned by Democrats and wholly out of the closet, has made themselves today’s (Sept. 16) front page lead story with a report of their own poll claiming that “Obama lead widens after convention”.
It also took up a couple of pages inside.
The Inquirer Pennsylvania Poll surveyed 600 likely voters Sept. 9-12 and found that Obama now led Romney 50 percent to 39 percent as opposed to 51 percent to 42 percent in a similar survey in August before the conventions. The story did not provide much in the way of the poll’s internals such as party membership of those surveyed. Regardless, if one’s incumbent candidate drops after the convention one should not take comfort in the fact even if the opponent drops more.
Our own view here is that if Romney-Ryan successfully respond to Bill Clinton’s data dump Medicare scare — and we expect them too — Pennsylvania with most of the rest of the states will vote to fire the incompocumbent.
Meanwhile, the real story of the day — the turmoil in the Middle East — was below the fold in the Inquirer and was without much in the way of information. It was nauseatingly Obama-centric, though, even with headline “Mideast crisis tests Obama’s stewardship”.
How about you just tell us what’s going on over there? OK, stupid question. The details won’t make Obama’s “stewardship” look real good.
For those who may be missing it here’s a report from the U.K. as provided by Cathy Craddock.
