Related: About this forumObama, Romney deadlocked in U.S. presidential race
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/world/2012-07/11/c_131707203.htmWASHINGTON, July 10 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney are still neck and neck in the 2012 presidential race despite their early campaign advertising blitz, according to a poll released on Tuesday.
The Washington Post-ABC News poll showed that Obama and Romney remain in a deadlocked contest, tied at 47 percent among registered U.S. voters, little changed from the situation in late May.
Only twice in 13 polls in more than a year has either candidate held a lead exceeding the poll's margin of sampling error, which is about 4 percent in the latest one. The race appears destined to remain extremely close in the final four months before the Election Day in November, The Washington Post said in a report.

By failing to report any of Romney's sleazy financial dealings.

(48 posts)2. It's sad that they do this
The news media care more about their ratings, trying to turn the election into some sort of public spectacle like the superbowl, than they do about actually electing the right man for the job.

They are supposed to be reporting the news. Nothing more.
