Most South African would pick Obama, and we all know how awesome we are at picking leaders

They won't pick obama, he's a coconut.
Ghoti, having a slender poll lead in a few swing states pushing up the electoral college advantage does not make an Obama win a certainty. As much as you want to believe team Obama is unstoppable, unbiased and objective election watchers realise this race will probably go down to the wire - either result is very possible. We will know more once people actually start voting. Until then it's all speculation.
The question is who do you think will win. Not who do you like the most.
As much as you and I might like the independents they dont stand a snowballs chance in hell. If you think any of the independents stand a chance to win then you should just default to a Romney vote.

So true
Most South African would pick Obama, and we all know how awesome we are at picking leaders
That logic is not backwards compatible. For instance, most of the world would not choose Zuma. Most of the world would not choose the Chinese president to be leader. Etc.
Except for Russia. In Russia, Putin picks the rest of the world.

My bad, wasn't paying attention.
If I was American I would not vote for either. If I had to pick a winner though I'd say Obama. And in my opinion, out of the two he's probably the better choice of what is two bad apples.

If it was more than a 2 horse race I would vote for the Green Party. Since however it is a two horse race and the consequences of Romney winning are too negative. I would vote Obama. Obama is pretty right wing for someone like me. However, the America right wing is so far right wing, even a "moderate" like Obama is too left wing for them.
This is the most comprehensive aggregated polling anywhere. Nate Silver has two previous elections under his belt and is exceptionally accurate. Anyone who has been following the site will realise Romney has NEVER had a statistical chance of setting foot in the whitehouse. He did have a significant boost after the first debate but was always behind in swing states and the electoral votes.
538 puts Obama at 92% chance of winning the election.
From what I have seen, his polling is pretty good. Way more decent than his counterpart
