The only polls that count are those state by state with the large electoral votes. Unless we can see those states at least breaking for the GOP at least by 50% or more, this means zip. A national popular poll is useless unless it comports with the swing states going to Mitt. So far , this has not happened in any national poll or even state poll for that matter. It is very depressing. The taking lemmings seem to outnumber the makers in those swing states.
We are still a center-right nation.
Not exactly....swing states are the key,both large and small.For example,I live in the Boston broadcast market...TV and radio.Boston TV is wall-to-wall Presidential election ads not because Massachusetts,or Connecticut or Rhode Island is in play but because of New Hampshire,which *is* in play.New Hampshire,the most heavily populated part of which watches and listens to Boston stations,has *four* Electoral votes.
