Poll: Romney's Independent Strengths Put Him In Lead Over Obama

Mitt Romney has a slim 1-point lead on President Barack Obama in a new NPR battleground poll, an astounding 8-point swing from a month ago that puts the Republican nominee in good position heading into the final week of the campaign. 
The poll continues a theme that has made Republicans bullish lately — Romney is scoring big with self-identified Independent voters. 
Romney holds a 12-point overall lead among Independents in the poll, but more importantly, he holds a big advantage in favorability ratings among the group. Romney is rated favorably by 54 percent of Independents in the poll, compared with just 40 percent who view him favorably.
Comparatively, Obama's favorability rating among Independents sits at just 43 percent, compared with 53 percent who view him unfavorably.
The difference between vice presidential candidates, though not as important, is even more staggering. Paul Ryan has a 52-38 positive-to-negative favorability score. Vice President Joe Biden's stands at only 39-53. Combined, that's a 28-point difference.

It still amazes me that in these times of mass unemployment, foreclosures, and closing businesses that half the people would vote FOR this Exodus.

The Democrats/Liberals are panicking right about now!
The hurricane has cancelled much of the early voting here in Maryland over the weekend and that has them in worry mode. The best thing that could happen right now is for Obama to give it up and move back with relatives in Kenya.
