Monday Open Thread [7.16.12]
I am moving the Polling Report to the open thread today because I didn’t have enough polls for a full polling report today and I wanted to post these polls before they got stale (they are all from Friday and over the weekend) and I didn’t have anything for the Open thread, so I am killing two birds with one stone.
NATIONAL–PRESIDENT (Gallup Tracking): Obama 47, Romney 44
NATIONAL–PRESIDENT (Pew): Obama 50, Romney 43
NATIONAL–PRESIDENT (Rasmussen Tracking): Romney 46, Obama 45
FLORIDA–PRESIDENT (Mason Dixon): Obama 46, Romney 45.
This does not change Florida’s status as Barely or Slim Obama lead. Florida has settled into a constitent polling theme recently. No candidate has been up by more than 1 point.
FLORIDA–SENATOR (Mason Dixon): Sen. Bill Nelson (D) 47, Rep. Connie Mack IV (R) 42
Stephen Covey crosses off the final item on his planner.

Oh wow, Sage Stallone has passed away. Sylvester’s oldest son, only 36. Terrible.
