Alarm Grows Among Dems About Obama’s Chances
The latest wake-up call comes in the form of a New York Times/CBS poll showing Republican Mitt Romney in the lead not just among registered voters overall, but with women and independents.
Since the general election season kicked off in earnest in the last week of March, Obama has had an almost unbroken string of losing weeks, starting with his overheard conversation with former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
There was the back-and-forth with the Supreme Court over his health law, the attack by one of Obama’s advisers on Ann Romney, the GSA Vegas scandal, the hookers in Cartagena and then the baffling case of the gay marriage half-reversion.
Some of the problems were just bad luck (hookers), some were just blunders (hot mic) but much of the rest has been about Obama trying to galvanize his base coalition and secure the massive donations he needs to finance the most expensive campaign in history.
While Obama was in New York, he also stopped by to scoop up some money from Wall Streeters, including some private equity folks -- an industry his campaign was simultaneously describing as parasites and vampires.
If you wonder why Obama felt the need to single out JP Morgan Chase and its CEO for praise despite a $2 billion shellacking the firm took on its own investments, fundraisers like these are a big part of the answer.

A new CBS News/New York Times poll released Monday night shows former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney now leading President Barack Obama among women.
Romney is up to 46 percent support among women, while Obama is at 44 percent. This represents a shift from April, which had Obama leading among women 49 percent to Romney’s 43 percent.

Obama/DNC fundraising drops $10 million from March to April
A month ago, the combined haul from the Barack Obama campaign and the DNC came to $53 million, a level that didn’t keep pace with 2008 Democratic fundraising, but still gave Team O some bragging rights for the improvement over a $45 million February. According to their announcement this morning, the Obama/DNC effort couldn’t even match February’s numbers, let alone March’s:

When I post a thread about Romney... this one is about the failed presidency of Obama... sorry I had to point that out for you. Reading comprehension problems? Deflection Syndrome. Stupid?
