New Poll Puts Mitt Romney In The Deep End
Mitt Romney’s not just treading water, he’s underwater when it comes to personal favorability as the clock ticks down to Election Day.
According to the results of a new ABC News-Washington Post poll out this morning, 40 percent of Americans view Romney favorably while 49 percent unfavorably. That means Romney has been “underwater” in 10 consecutive polls this year.

Love the GOP’s immigration stance. Holding Obama responsible for failing to pass the very legislation they blocked in the Senate. Like the Inquisition jailing Galileo for failing to properly convince them of heliocentrism. – Will Durst

Time To Deflate Photo
LIFE.com presents the most wonderful and, in some cases, the most thoroughly bizarre science and technology photos ever to appear in the magazine.
Feb 01, 1949 – A long exposure view of a Sikorsky S-51 helicopter on the ground at Anacostia Naval Air Station in Washington, DC in 1949. The striking “Slinky shape” is produced by light reflecting on the rotor blades and leaving a trail in the night sky. Photo: Andreas Feininger/Time & Life Pictures
Peace.
