Gallup and Rassmusen daily tracking polls...Attack Iran?....Voter ID: Finally

Romney Rising In Swing States: Polls Ahead of Obama in WI and MI

by John Nolte 21 Aug 2012  

 

For a while now, and with some off-days, presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney has maintained a small but persistent lead in the two most reliable national polls, Gallup and Rasmussen. Swing state polls, however, have been less kind. Since Romney clinched the nomination, President Obama has consistently led in most of these crucial states, sometimes by wide margins that felt counter-intuitive when compared to the national polls.

Well, whatever caused that -- Obama's spending advantage, poorly weighted polls or both -- the tide is turning and also doing so in two states Obama and his media minions probably felt were pretty safe.

Michigan:

[A] national public opinion polling and voter analytics consulting firm based in Michigan and representing the combined resources of Foster McCollum White & Associates (Troy, Michigan) and Baydoun Consulting (Dearborn, Michigan) conducted a telephone-automated polling random survey of Michigan registered and most likely November 2012 general election voters to determine their voting preferences.

In what will be a significant blow to Democratic campaign efforts, native son Mitt Romney has climbed into the lead in Michigan's Presidential contest.

Obama: 43.88%

Romney: 47.68%

And in my home state of Wisconsin two recent polls have Obama stuck at 47 and Romney ahead by one.  

Over the past few weeks in the Real Clear Politics poll of polls, Romney has caught up to or passed Obama in Ohio, Colorado, Virginia, Florida, and Iowa.

The trend is the thing and the trend is all moving Romney's way. Read More

Netanyahu Determined to Strike Iran Before U.S. Elections

by William Bigelow 21 Aug 2012 

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is determined to strike Iran before the 2012 election.  A report from Israel’s Channel 10 news claims that since the harsher international sanctions have yielded nothing from Iran, the time to act cannot be delayed. There was talk that Netanyahu would meet with Barack Obama after the late September UN General Assembly meeting in New York, but that meeting seems to have been scuttled. 

In the last week, Hezbollah MP Walid Sakariya said that the nuclear weapon Iran is allegedly developing is specifically to eradicate Israel. The retired general said that, once Iran had nuclear weapons, their use would benefit Syria as well as Iran: “This nuclear weapon is intended to create a balance of terror with Israel, to finish off the Zionist enterprise, and to end all Israeli aggression against the Arab nation. The entire equation in the Middle East will change.” Read More

Voter ID: Feliz de recibir un documento de identidad gratuito

Elizabeth Garvey

En lo que supone otra victoria para los defensores de la identificación del votante, una Corte Federal de Distrito de Pensilvania rechazó la semana pasada una impugnación para impedir que la nueva ley estatal de identificación del votante (Voter ID) entre en vigor antes de las próximas elecciones presidenciales.

El Philadelphia Inquirer informa ahora de que Viviette Applewhite, la principal demandante en este caso, que afirmaba que sería incapaz de votar debido a la nueva ley, ha obtenido un carnet de identidad como votante.
Un día después de que la nueva ley fuese ratificada, Applewhite utilizó una combinación de su tarjeta de Medicare, una tarjeta del Departamento de Asistencia Social Pública del estado y otros documentos que demuestran su domicilio actual para obtener un documento de identidad gratuito.
Este desenlace resalta el hecho de que requerir un documento de identidad con foto no es una restricción costosa ni un “impuesto electoral”, como el procurador general Eric Holder ha afirmado erróneamente. La ley de Pensilvania ayudará a prevenir el fraude en las elecciones y, ciertamente, este estado tiene un cuestionable pasado en lo concerniente a votantes fraudulentos.
Quienes presentaron las impugnaciones afirmaban que el requisito de presentar un documento de identidad con foto para votar privaría de representación electoral a cerca del 9% de los votantes registrados, que supuestamente no podrían obtenerlo sin tener que afrontar un gran costo. Sin embargo, el juez rechazó rotundamente dicha afirmación.
La Unión Americana de Libertades Civiles (ACLU) pretende apelar la decisión, pero ya no está tan claro que Applewhite siga perteneciendo a la parte litigante, pues ella está “feliz como una lombriz” ahora que recibió su nuevo documento de identidad con foto.
