then why the hell are you losing so badly?
Massachusetts 11, 62%-36%, 55%-39% (Romney) (PPP 8/22)
Obama holds modest lead in Massachusetts
Raleigh, N.C. Barack Obama continues to lead Mitt Romney in the state where
Romney was Governor from 2003-2007. The President holds a 55-39 lead over Romney
in Massachusetts, numbers completely unchanged from PPPs last poll of the state in
June.
Voters in Massachusetts simply like Obama better than Romney. Obamas job approval
rating sits at 55% approval and 41% disapproval. By contrast only 39% of voters have a
favorable view of Mitt Romney while 55% have an unfavorable view. Voters also have a
disapproving view of the work Romney did while Governor of the Bay State 42% say
they approve of it and 46% disapprove. Additionally, a full 2/3 of voters 66% - say they
do not consider Romney to be a Bay Stater while just 23% do. 51% say Deval Patrick
was a better Governor of Massachusetts and 42% choose Romney.

Maybe in *basketball* that could be called "modest", but in presidential politics, at this stage, that's what would be called a "commanding" lead.
