Ever since Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich dropped like flies from the GOP campaign, Mitt Romney has racked up a list of big endorsements.

All this new Romney surge has made the Republicans claim they will vote for him, despite the fact they never really supported him.

The latest polling from Politico/George Washington University shows that Mitt Romney has a one-point lead over President Obama nationally. The figure is within the poll’s 3.1 percent margin of error.

Romney leads 48-47 percent over President Obama among likely voters. The margin is even bigger for Independents who support Romney 48-38 percent.

This is proof that this election is NOT in the bag for President Obama. It’s going to be a hard, long fight to the finish. This is one poll and several organizations will be pulse-checking the American people between now and November 6.

For the survey results, 1,000 likely voters were polled from April 29-May 3.

    I believe. The race is close. Becuz the stupid voters now have seen 4 years of broken promises, lies to get elected, rhetoric, & the naive of 1st time voters.Obama’s. Record is poor, bend the constitution, I.e. amnesty for approximately 800,00 hung Americans. Not done for altruistic. Reasons, rather to gain their vote. Obama refuses to take astand on immigration. Afraid of losing votes. After 9/11, what happened to the 780 mile fence/perimeter? I watch little TV but I saw a show where Israel does not have fence line intrusions. Their border is secure it works. The problem is not the Mexicans, it is their corrupt government. I a
    60 years old & I have maintained for years that the u.s. should have I.cared Mexico, not, in my opinion primitive countries Iraq/Afghanistan, instead. We should have absorbed Mexico & make a u.s. territory out it with. Potable. Water, paved roads, schools, etc since we have already absorbed all of their social problems, including their criminals.I have neighbors who are. Hispanic, lived in u.s for over 20 years, speak no English, have good paying jobs yet everything out of their mouth is Mexico is better! They do not have drop of allegiance or loyalty to this nation/make no attempt to learn English. I ask them, I never get an answer, if Mexico is better why don’t you live there or better yet, pick up a rifle go back there & make it a better place? But back to this close presidential race it ain’t over till the fat lady sings……

    In my opinion Obama is a gasbag, conceited, with an arrogant, prejudiced,incompetent cabinet,including appalling remarks be Atty general.again, in my opinion the stupidest Americans traded one incompetent idiot for another.way to go, fellow citizens. People who have sat on their asses all their adult lives& never voted came out of the the woodwork to vote not With common sense but to just be able to vote for a minority. Wrong reason people. I only get small pieces of info about. This administration & what I see
    Makes me ill. I am so sick of political correctness.enough. already! It is so far beyond manners it is ridiculous. I beg to differ that becuz I am white I have no culture, never been abused or treatedUnfairly.get over it. It has now become reverse discrimination. I November I shall vote for for”the invisible man” wake up & smell the coffee, the u.s is now becoming “les miserables ” you elect him again you deserve it.th
    First six months I realized this white house family is on a 4 year global vacation o/b/o the u.s. taxpayer. (Again my opinion) fellow citizens, please please try to think futuristically about your children&this nation.don’t re-elect a do n6othing president. I am now registered independent since I am so disgusted with the fact .neither Congress or Senate is doing or listening to the will of Americans. & p.s. Obama didn’t get osama bin laden—-the u.s. NA by seals did. Americans have a lot of power we just need to stand united and perhaps oneday through our unity cause metaphor ically the fall of the house of usher.
