Since 1988, There is a very close relationship between the overall national vote and the Ohio vote. With the exception of 2004, but not by much, the democrat always underperforms in Ohio relative to the national vote. If Romney is up 2 Nationally, he will probably win Ohio by 3 to 4 points.

Exactly! This why any talk of Romney winning the popular vote by 2 or 3 and losing the EV is retarded.
I think that is that is true, it must be especially true this year, when there has been such a dramatic shift in our favor in the party registration numbers.
Given today’s Gallup, I feel really good with this info.
David Limbaugh just pinged this on Twitter. Good work.
Thank you. A good perspective.
