Being ahead in national polls is nice, but I’d really like to see some polls in Ohio and other battleground states like Wisconsin which have Romney ahead. :\
From the transcript:
BRIT HUME, FOX NEWS: Well, let’s assume that everyone is right and Ohio is the linchpin in the whole thing, which I think is a reasonable supposition at this point. You have a set of national polls, to include Gallup, and Rasmussen, that show Romney with a 4, 5, 6 point lead, depending on which poll you look at. There will be another one out tomorrow, this is a bipartisan poll called the battleground poll, which is a solid poll, reliable poll it will show Romney up 5, nationally.
WALLACE: In the battle ground states.
HUME: No, it’s called the battleground poll that’s the name of it, but it is a national poll.
Now, if those polls are generally correct it is difficult to imagine that Ohio would be all that different. Ohio has pretty closely tacked the national outcome for — since about 1960. So, it is certainly true, and worth noting, that Mitt Romney does not now lead in a single Ohio poll. But I can’t believe that that national poll wouldn’t tell you something about how Iowa will go if the polls are correct.
