You've also had Obama and his crew blasting Romney with words like "felon" and -- at least according to a number of media fact-checkers -- shamelessly lying about Romney's business record.The NYT/CBS poll hit like a bomb because it not only showed that these hysterical attacks haven't hurt Romney -- but that they have hurt Obama. Like I said, the likely factor keeping Obama alive despite his failed record was his favorability, but in the NYT/CBS poll, Obama's favorability plummeted.In April, the CBS/NYT poll had Obama's favorability rating at 42%, not favorable 45%. He was at -3. This latest poll was taken between July 11-16 -- the heart of the Bain attacks -- and now has Obama's favorability at a stunning -12 --- 36% favorable, 48% not favorable. The media knows this is a big deal which is why The New York Times tried to spin and excuse it : The poll includes a drop in Mr. Obama's favorability ratings, with 36 percent saying they viewed him favorably and 48 percent saying they did not. In April, 42 percent expressed a favorable opinion of him and 45 percent an unfavorable one. But that change may have been affected by a reordering of this particular set of questions, which at this point in general election cycles are typically placed near the top of the survey. During the primary season, the questions about favorability were placed lower on the survey after queries about presidential job approval and other topics.
