Mitt Romney electoral vote lead holds strong through both conventions

Dean Chambers

......

The state polls and race for electoral votes shows to be unchanged from the last GOP2112 analysis of the electoral vote race published here August 25, 2012. Not a single state has moved into a different category since then, and Romney maintains the electoral vote lead of 317 to 179 over Obama with 42 electoral votes from Pennsylvania, Minnesota, New Mexico and Oregon remaining in toss-up status. The map above shows which ways the states are leaning in this presidential race.

Here is information and analysis on some of the key swing states: ....

He’s been posting that same crap over and over since he got here.

BTW, he has said he does not look at his replies so don’t expect an answer.

It sure looks great from a “what-if” standpoint, but what data is driving the idea that PA, MN, NM, and Oregon are “tossups” and how are WI and MI “leaning GOP?” It`s fun to play with that RCP map.. I do it too, but what is giving credibility to this?

The analysis makes assumptions about the undecided vote - that most of it will break for Romney in the end. If that occurs, this electoral result is very plausible, despite what polls are telling us today (with the undecided still sitting out there).

I tend to agree that most of the undecideds out there will eventually become Romney votes and that Obama's percentage of actual vote total will be <45%. Probably 55-44% or 56-43% (with the remaining 1% going to third party candidates).

We got to remember that people will LIE to the poll agencies folks so as NOT to be viewed as racist. What takes place in the voting booth is all that matters. PLUS who are going to be the folks showing up and it is those who are FED-UP with the horrible mismagement of this nation or who are dealing with what I call “buyers remorse” over voting for Obama. Otherwise many of those who have voted for Obama will simply STAY HOME.

The PACS for Romney are doing their job.

I couldn’t agree more. I also have no patience for koolaid drinkers who have no concept of reality, liberal or conservative either one.

Thank-you for making my Sunday night!

I have noticed that there is a lot of naysaying going on this and on a number of threads. Hope there is NO trolls trying to invade FR.

Rasmussen version of the electoral college map:
Obama: 247 - Toss-up: 95 - Romney: 196
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/archive/2012_electoral_college_scoreboard

Real Clear Politics version:
Obama: 221 - Toss-up: 126 - Romney: 191

The writer does an analysis of 7 key swing states to explain his projection. At this point, I’d say his guess is as good as anybody’s and I sure like his positive attitude!

This map is crap.

Is this from the Onion?
///
yes, this map is crap.
because, it is not even as close as this says.
Obama is down in EVERY demographic.
in some, like Catholics (including “liberal Catholics),
Obama is down 27% from last time.
...a 27 point swing?
even college students are leaving Obama in droves.
-
and, gas prices, etc, will only accelerate it.
and any “October surprises”, will help Romney.
Fast and Furious. the falsifying of unemployment numbers,
etc.
...even some in the liberal media, are abandoning Obama!

You got it, the undecideds, do not be surprised that they will tip more in favor of Romney. They see what is REALLY is going on out there.

Romney is getting killed in the EV.

Is that just your opinion or can you post something tangible, like a link please.

Well, that’s the nature of the electoral college.

On the plus side, we’ve got most of the south locked up before the race even begins. So it works both ways, I suppose.
