PRINCETON, NJ -- Democrats have lost their solid political party affiliation advantage in 18 states since 2008, while Republicans have gained a solid advantage in 6 states. A total of 17 states were either solidly Republican or leaning Republican in their residents' party affiliation in 2011, up from 10 in 2010 and 5 in 2008. Meanwhile, 19 states including the District of Columbia showed a solid or leaning Democratic orientation, down from 23 in 2010 and 36 in 2008. The remaining 15 states were relatively balanced politically, with neither party having a clear advantage.

All the more reason for the “cornered” ‘Rats to transform the electorate. We need to make sure the stuck-on-stupid GOP-E does not come to the rescue with shamnesty, in order to fix this republic.
Data only upsets the Mittens Derangement Syndrome Freetards.
Oregon is not in play.
The Tea Party there has worked very hard since 2009 but they can’t break thru the Union blockade of information.
Public Sector Unions tell the media what to print and then they print it. The people then go back to sleep.
Otherwise know as the Romney = Obama retards.
For all the folks that point to Texas as a “republican” state - notice it is not in the Top 10 on this list.
No trend is any assurance of victory for Mitt Romney in November. Obama has been doing all he can to bring his “in-your-face” attitude to the attention of the American people, and this continues to resonate with some portion of the population. There is no way of converting these people. We have to outnumber them at the polls in November.
And everyone who fails to show up to vote, or undervotes by not making a decision FOR Romney, is by default GIVING the election to Obama.
Admittedly, Romney is not “my guy”. But consider the alternative. “NOTA” is not a viable choice.
Yeah you’re right, why consider Texas a ‘republican’ state when McCain only won it by 12 freaking points in 2008?? Oh and this during a historic election for democrats.
I’ll bet that Obama loses this ‘republican’ state by closer to 20 points this time around.
And everyone who fails to show up to vote, or undervotes by not making a decision FOR Romney, is by default GIVING the election to Obama.
You GOPe folks say that Romney has this in the bag so who cares if a few patriots vote for a true conservatives. You liberal Republicans have been touting that Romney is easily going to pulverize Obama so you should have ZERO concern if people vote with principles and either leave the Presidency blank or vote for the conservative.

I don't care if you stuff your vote in your naps or vote for 'a true conservatives' -- although given how few state ballots Goode (17) is on, or Tom Hoofnmouth (0) -- good luck with that.
You miss my intended point; Houston, San Antonio, FT Worth, Austin are all run by elected democrats. Cities are controlling 90% of the agenda of America - at this time. If you take out NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago and Philly republicans win HUGE elections, take a look at exit data - Calif is RED outside of SFO or LA so is Illinois etc. etc. Texas is red because of the heavy votes in suburbs and ranch country - with all the in migration, for JOBS, our cities will soon swamp those rural voters.
To go along with any Tea Party election strategery, is the absolute necessity that we do NOT avoid taking post-election surveys. We need to take them and to lie with impunity. Lying will allow the libdems to think the state is safe, and they won't be preparing their fraud-nanigans.
If we keep avoiding being surveyed, the early results will mirror the election returns. Just think how great a night it will be if "call" after "call" for the One is rescinded. Not only will we be able to witness a dejected obama-network election machine wretch and whimper, but we will be able to smash their reliance on polls to try to sway opinion.
If you split the line between Florida and Iowa (meaning Romney wins every state where the Dem advantage is 2 points or less), I think that’s the 2000 election exactly. The difference is, because of the census changes, instead of this amounting to 271 electoral votes (if that’s what it was, can’t remember exactly), it would be 285 this time around.
Given that enthusiasm is favoring the GOP this time around, and that GOP tends to be more likely to vote anyway, these numbers look pretty good.
