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: ....

I’d love for these numbers to be the actual case at this point, but I don’t buy it. Romney is in pretty good shape despite the current DNC bounce for Obama, but nothing I’ve seen from Rassmussen or any other reliable polling agency that suggests he’s anywhere near this level.

It’s going to be a scrap all the way to election day, folks. I pray for a Romney/Ryan landslide, but I believe we have to be prepared for a 2004-ish nailbiter.

Oregon

SurveyUSA poll of registered voters gives Obama a 47 to 43 percent lead

Note that this is registered voters not likely so it’s even closer.

Obama is down 12 from the 2008 election.

Obama or Romney is going to be the next President. When you spend all your time trashing Romney, you do one thing, help Obama

That may not be your intention, it is the result of your actions.

That you spend all your time actively campaigning for an pro gay marriage,pro taxpayer funded abortion on demand up to birth candidate like Obama, while bitching about Romney not being politically pure enough for you, demonstrates that you are absolutely without a single shred of intellectual credibility.

Sorry your candidate of choice did not win the GOP nomination. Quit crying about it. Your petulant attempts to trash the GOP because they did not do what YOU thought they should is childish and politically self-defeating

and the poll that lied the most,
was the one that said it was 94 to zip,
for African-Americans.
-
that was simply a “Bagdad Bob” operation,
to try to keep blacks one LIBERAL plantation.
-
after Obama turned for gay rights, etc.,
he has certainly lost at least SOME black votes.
so, that poll, was clearly a fraud.

You are definitely right about the geography of PA and its voting tendencies (I used to live in rural PA).

However, on the aggregate, PA is a blue state in national elections. They haven’t given their electoral votes to a Republican since Bush 41 in the 80s.

Not only D.C., but next week it wouldn’t surprise me to see this analyst have Illinois, New York and California in the “Toss Up/Leans Romney” category.

This is what gets me really angry with some of the posts on this and a number of other threads. They do not realize that when you bash Romney/Ryan, you simply help Obama/Bidden get elected again.

The bashing has to end, time to get out there and support Romney/Ryan!

Obama is running no stop ads in California. Is he worried or just has a lot of cash to blow? I’m not saying he will lose CA. but he sure feels the need to shore things up here.

Question: How can the aggregate of voters below 50 be in favor of Obama and Romney be ahead, much less by this much? There can’t be that many more 50 and above voters. Anyone know the % of population below 50 and 50 and above?

Here's a link to the NY Times exit poll of 2008 by various categories. You can have tons of fun playing these numbers against 2012 projections.

2008 was a fluke of monsterous proportions. There is no way in Hell Obama wins in 2012.

Something's going on. Usually we get ignored.

A lot of people live in a alternative universe about Romney being conservative and congress being able to hold his feet to the fire.

Obama is the worst president in history. I wish we could have Palin against him.

We have the Clinton for Obama ad running all day. If things looked that great here wouldn’t the Kenyan use his funds in the swing states he’s losing? Also seeing anti-Obama ads from Americans for Prosperity, Conservative Majority and the RNC.

That Godless Democrats for Abortion Convention turned a lot of people off. I know two Democrats that said they were sickened by it.

I would not be surprised if Romney goes over 300.

(I used to live in rural PA).

I still do, and love it!

As for PA in national elections, I blame Philly vote fraud, poor and simple. It's not blueness that's the problem, it's corruption.

That map sure does look pretty. I hope it is going at least that well for us.
