Americans view Romney's campaign more unfavorably than Obama's

Source: CNN

(CNN) – After weeks of scathing back-and-forth between President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney, a plurality of the American public views the incumbent Democrat as running a more favorable campaign, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The Washington Post/ABC News poll indicated 46% of Americans viewed Obama's campaign favorably, compared to only 38% who viewed Romney's. On the flip side, 45% viewed Obama's effort as unfavorably and 49% said they had an unfavorable impression of Romney's campaign.

Perhaps more surprising: nearly one-in-four self-identified Republicans viewed Romney's campaign unfavorably, compared to 18% of Democrats who felt the same about Obama's effort.

Similarly, 31% of conservative Republicans said they felt strongly favorable toward Romney's campaign, compared to 51% of liberal Democrats who felt the same about Obama's campaign.

I'm ashamed of you, Mitt. You're the sorriest excuse for a presidential
candidate this country has ever seen. Release your taxes, if you've got
something to hide, explain it, not the other way around.

The problem is that when the president hits Romney with the "truth", shows the "facts", then the Romney camps has to come out with "lies" to defend Romney. They seem to think that they can lie their way out of everything, and that's just plain insane!

and truthful, let's not forget that they are fact based, and Mitten's campaign commercials has a dreadful, end of life as we know it tone which are not based on facts.

Y'think with close to a billion dollars or more that the Mitten's campaign can hire companies that are good for what they are hired for.

RMoney is getting ripped off by people like himself - those who intend to do the least amount of work (or none at all) for maximum profit.
