In the last three polls in Ohio, all three of which came out yesterday, the president was at 49, 48 and 47. Any time an incumbent is below 50, it's a sign of trouble.

In Ohio, independents are going for Mitt Romney. In 15 of the last polls, Mitt Romney has a virtual double-digit lead in the state of Ohio among independents. That's a huge issue in that state.

This is an administration that has a serious Israel problem. There is an Israel gap. And Barack Obama has brought it on.

This administration was terribly ham-handed. It really looked to me as if for political reasons they did not want to indicate that America had been struck by terrorism.

But the fact of the matter is, Benghazi was the first successful terrorist attack on our country since September 11th, 2001.

This administration, this president are deliberately weak on Israel.

It really looked to me as if for political reasons they did not want to indicate that America had been struck by terrorism.

Benghazi was the first successful terrorist attack on our country since September 11, 2001.

The previous Pew poll was ridiculous. It had a 10-point Democratic turnout advantage. Not going to happen.

If you believe what the polls are saying right now, you have got to believe that there's something huge going on.

Romney's favorability is moving up, the president's is moving down.

As long as Mitt Romney keeps winning independents, chances are Mitt Romney's going to win.

If this is an election about the state of the economy and whether the president is partially or enough to blame for the bad economy, he's going to lose.

My only point is both candidates have engaged in tactical maneuvering. This is nothing new.

In 2008, President Obama ran when he was trying to get to the left of Hillary Clinton saying he opposed NAFTA.

The solution Romney announced is the actual solution for it.

No, Anderson, the problem is if you don't have a mandate for health care, which is what Mitt Romney and Republicans want, they don't want to have the mandate, but...

The president had to offer a very specific budget. It never once comes into balance.

I think there was a willful pattern in this administration of downplaying terrorist attacks against our country.

The president was AWOL. He was still unable to offer any specifics when the nation needed it the most.

I think Mitt Romney actually is following the Reagan pattern.

I think you're within the margin of error in almost every one of those battleground states.

If the challenger in this economy can't get a lead on the president on that question, he won't win.

The Obama campaign which had stumbles early on is performing and executing pretty well right now.

The Democrats had a better convention from a messaging standpoint.
