Bad polls keep rolling in for President Barack Obama. More state and national polls show the president falling behind Mitt Romney with just over three weeks to go to Election Day. Will Vice President Joe Biden's strong performance in the debate last night help stem the bleeding? Or did his attack-at-all-costs approach against Rep. Paul Ryan hurt the ticket with independents?

Florida

Three new polls of Florida released in the last two days all show this crucial swing state heading towards' Romney's column. A Rasmussen poll gave Romney a four-point lead, 51-47 percent. The poll surveyed 750 likely voters with a 4 percent margin of error. An ARG poll found Romney with a three-point lead, 49-46 percent. The survey of 600 likely voters had a 4 percent margin of error. And a poll conducted in conjunction by the Tampa Bay Times and Miami Herald found Romney with a whopping seven-point lead, 51-44 percent. The poll surveyed 800 likely voters with a 3.5 percent margin of error. The Herald/Times poll is Romney's best showing in Florida all year, and nearly matches Obama's biggest lead in September.

New Hampshire

A second ARG poll, conducted in the Granite State, found Romney in the lead by four points, 50-46 percent. The poll surveyed 600 likely voters with a 4 percent margin of error. Despite New Hampshire's reputation as the most conservative New England state, Obama had been consistently running ahead of Romney for most of the campaign. Prior to today's poll, Romney had only won or tied in four polls of New Hampshire dating back to April.

Massachusetts

Obama still leads in the liberal bastion, but the damage done to his campaign by the first presidential debate is crystal clear in Massachusetts. A new Public Policy Polling poll found Obama still in the lead by a sizable 14-point advantage, 55-41 percent. The poll surveyed 1,051 likely voters with a 3 percent margin of error. Prior to the first debate, Obama enjoyed seemingly insurmountable double-digit leads in Massachusetts, some as high as 30 points. While Romney isn't about to start seriously contesting in the state he once governed, polls like this illustrate how bad things have become for the Obama campaign.

National Polls

Romney continues to score ahead of Obama in national polls. The Rasmussen Three Day Tracking Poll shows Obama behind by one point, 48-47 percent. The Gallup Seven Day Poll also has Romney ahead by two points, 49-47. Both poll results are within the margins of error.

Polls are just another means of messing with the minds of voters. There's only one poll that matters, and that's the one on November 6th

The only votes that count, are the ones in Florida, Ohio, and Virginia. The rest of the country, your vote for President is practically meaningless. Whoever wins two out of three of those states will probably be President.

It amuses me that no Romney supporters posted any poll results until about a week or two ago. Now they love them.

Should Romney supporters posted polls from four months ago? The election is next month.

Most fans don't cheer the score when their team is losing. Same way most Obama supporters are not talking about the polls now and where a few weeks back. Your point is ?

The Barack-uda will come back to bight Romney in the a#@!

I've talked about the polls plenty, since they're posted on an almost daily basis.

I cheer for the Cowboys to win every week. My wife is in to Denver. She hit me upside the head with a coors light bottle. Cops were called and she filed VAWA on me. Now the neighbors pay us to fight on the front lawn. I usually win. Sorry sweetheart. Thanks for the $20 Jawan, don't bet against me next time.

Point being, who gives a $hit about polls.
