Karl Rove's Worst Nightmare

Karl Rove's Pac--"Crosshairs on America" leaked out a memo the other day that suggested President Obama was winning on framing the taxes issue. So naturally we get a lame barrage of ads against the Buffett rule and suggestions that Obama and Buffett can pay more taxes--voluntarily. This was the hardy-har joke introduced by Senate Republicans last year.


So PPP polled this question: Who do you trust more to keep taxes lower for you: Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, or do you trust neither candidate more?


Barack Obama: 41%
Mitt Romney:    33%
Neither:            24%
Unsure:              1%


Only when you get to people earning more than $100,000 does Romney eek out a 1% advantage 37 to 36.


So we learned from the Washington Post/ABC poll that the Republicans have lost their national security advantage--big time--against Obama and now they have lost their tax card.
