Mitt Romney Officials: Obama Is Winning The Race

Mitt Romney’s insiders are beginning to worry publicly that with little time in the election and the polls tilting the way of the President that Barack Obama is winning the race for president.

Obama left the Democratic National Convention with a lot of momentum, which The Huffington Post noted is beginning to show up in the polls. He is also winning in the state-by-state battle, holding slim to moderate advantages in nearly all of the swing states.

After the national conventions ended, Obama has a clearer path to winning, top advisers to Romney told Politico. Though Romney’s camp was happy at Obama’s less than stellar performance at the Democratic National Convention, Romney’s post-convention bump was well below what they wanted and polls in the must-win state of Ohio are looking very poor for the Republican.

“Their map has many more routes to victory,” a top Republican official told Politico. Though polls are still tight in Ohio, two Romney officials privately said their internal tracking numbers show Obama with a high single digit lead there. If Mitt Romney loses Ohio he has no reasonable other path to victory, they noted.

Both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are looking forward to the October 3 debate as a chance to steal the momentum for the rest of the campaign and attract the dwindling number of undecided voters.

But even this strategy will be difficult for Mitt Romney, GOP insiders said.

“Romney is not going to win undecided voters four-to-one,” a senior Obama administration official told reporters on Air Force One on Friday. “If you are losing in Ohio by four or five points and trailing in Colorado by two points, if you are trailing in Nevada by two or three points, you are not going to win in those states.”

That small but important lead is huge problem for the Mitt Romney, the official added. For any real chance of winning Romney would need to be at least tied in both Ohio and Florida.

    Like everything in the mainstream media, most of the polls are slanted towards Obama, and their numbers are totally unreliable. One has to wonder if the UNNAMED sources from the Republican party aren't really Democrats looking to discourage Romney supporters. It ios apparent that Obama's people will leave no sleazy stone unturned to steal this election, just like they did to Hillary in 2008, in the primary. I don't trust the polls or anything the mainstream media has to say about this election. they are all cheerleaders for Obama. shame on them.

    I know maybe five people that are going to vote for him that's it.

    Perhaps people don't like Romney. And Ryan came out of the Convention labled as a liar by just about every source. Even Fox didn't try to defend his lies. I think what did him in was that whopper that Ann told about them using an ironing board for a dinner table. If that ever did happen, it must have been while they were waiting for their designer furniture to be delivered. That kind of nonsense (like the supposed Costco shopping trips) just turns people off. It makes you feel like they think we are stupid enough to believe anything.

    This is ridiculous. Obama has lost support in every demographic. No President has EVER been re-elected with less support that their first run. Even GW Bush picked up an additional 10 million voters in 2004. This rag is intended for propaganda purposes.

    I know of many life-long democrats who will not be voting for Obama. They may not vote, but they won't be voting Obama, and they did vote for him in 2008.
