Can Romney Tip the Scales in the Golden State?

By Wonder

Can Romney tip the scales in the Golden State?WITHIN a matter of weeks the Romney campaign has gained enough momentum to reverse the political spin from pundits and pollsters in the tightest presidential election in decades.

And here in California, signs of a receding liberal tide is evidenced by the loss of support for Obama as all eyes look toward real economic hope and change — and not just on the Left Coast, but from sea to shining sea!

Excerpted from the Examiner.com The Christianpost.com reported on Oct. 27 that President Barack Obama is “losing a big chunk of support he saw in the 2008 election” in California, a traditionally blue state with the most electoral college votes.

President Obama still holds the lead with a 14-point edge over Republican candidate Mitt Romney, but the margin is shrinking, and is not nearly as great as it was four years ago when Obama won California with a 24-point victory.

President Obama has also seen a decline in support in New Jersey, which has 15 electoral college votes. Barack Obama has a 10-point lead over Romney in the Garden State, which is 6-points lower than the margin of victory Obama had in New Jersey in 2008.

Gallup’s daily tracking poll shows registered voters as split between the two presidential candidates, each with 48% of the vote. Among likely voters, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has the edge, receiving 51% of the vote to President Obama’s 46%. Barack Obama’s approval rating has also dropped, 3 full percentage points, to 48%.

With only nine days left until the presidential election, 24% of undecided voters who watched the third and final presidential debate are more likely to vote for Barack Obama, 25% of undecided voters are more likely to vote for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2012. Exercise your right and responsibility by voting.
