Romney slipping in the polls? Really?

Here’s a link to the Huntington Post electoral map projection.

A little background first.

About a month ago, I bookmarked this web page, and I’ve been visiting it frequently. I know, I know, it’s the Huntington Post. I expect it to be biased. Knowing that, if Romney’s numbers look anything near normal, that has to mean he’s much more competitive than we think.

When I started visiting the site, Obama was rated at about 310 electoral votes, and Romney about 140, the rest leaning Obama.

Since that time, there has been a marked slide of Obama’s numbers. Obama is now at 243 electoral votes, and for the first time Romney is shown to be above 200 at 206 electoral votes.

In the last 48 hours, Obama’s numbers dropped again from 247 to 243 votes. Romney’s went from a little above 190 to 206.

So I find it interesting that people like Kim Strassel are trying their best to convey the idea that the Romney Campaign is flagging. It isn’t.

It’s Obama that can’t fill campaign stops with supporters, and it’s Romney and Ryan that are being enthusiastically supported with overflowing crowds.

There are other related polls linked at the bottom of the Huntington Post projection page.

Thanks for this...I’ll watch it too.
Only probs I have with it...in my probably delusional way...is FL leaning Obutta as well as WI ...don’t think so.
Also, VA a toss up ...don’t think so.
NM is a quandary...if Martinez is so popular and really campaigns for Mitts in NM, she might make the diff.
Not scientific but just my hopes....
