NOTE - this poll was completed BEFORE the first debate which Romney resoundingly won.

Here is a quick wrap-up of the poll from the article:

ROMNEY WINNING:

COLORADO       - Romney/Ryan 49.92 - Obama/Biden 49.68 lead =   .24
Florida        - Romney/Ryan 50.57 - Obama/Biden 48.55 lead =  2.02
Michigan       - Romney/Ryan 47.97 - Obama/Biden 45.67 lead =  2.30
Nevada         - Romney/Ryan 55.83 - Obama/Biden 44.73 lead = 11.10
New Hampshire  - Romney/Ryan 47.83 - Obama/Biden 47.54 lead =   .29
North Carolina - Romney/Ryan 49.44 - Obama/Biden 49.03 lead =   .41
Virginia       - Romney/Ryan 50.39 - Obama/Biden 47.45 lead =  2.94

OBAMA WINNING:

Ohio           - Obama/Biden 54.46 - Romney/Ryan 43.01 lead = 11.45
Pennsylvania   - Obama/Biden 51.52 - Romney/Ryan 46.80 lead =  4.72
Iowa           - Obama/Biden 57.51 - Romney/Ryan 41.81 lead = 15.70
Wisconsin      - Obama/Biden 55.21 - Romney/Ryan 43.45 lead = 11.76

Yes it's a tight race, with massive fraud and continuous media assault - BUT WE CAN OVERCOME THAT!

I believe Romney can win Pennsylvania!

IF... ALL of us do what we can to support the conservative effort - WE WILL DEFEAT THAT JACKASS OBAMA!

They Obama winning Ohio? That really doesn’t mesh well with the data from early voting, especially by such a large margin.

Wow that NV measure is freaky good...if that's not an outlier Romney wins for fun.

But I question the poll on its face, given there's no way IA is foregone Obama. If anything Romney is even or better there...BUT I will take this as reason to restore my original tag...

Biden is a very accomplished liar (see his debate performance against Palin in 08).

Lot riding on Ryan next week. No question he will do well, but he must be able to tactfully and unequivocally rebut lies, preferably with data.

Romney came up with a nice rebuttal to the $5 trillion unpaid tax plan today, but an even better rebuttal would be the following. When it is clear that Biden/Obama is lying, say simply “You know, he is saying one thing and I’m saying another. How would a rational person reconcile these conflicting versions of reality? Well, the gold standard today in science is typically data in the form of academic studies. Yes, these can be difficult to comprehend, but let me tell you that the existing academic evidence is x....”

The problem is that Biden/Obama can lie their heads off and the MSM is not going to call them on it. I wouldn’t want to be in a position where it becomes a popularity contest, therefore I would want to be able to appeal to data.

An example is Romney’s tax cuts. He mentioned during the debate that lowering tax rates encourages investment and increases the tax base. Well that is exactly what the data shows. He should have pointed out that when the Bush tax cuts were fully implemented in 2003 that tax revenues actually went UP! He should also have pointed out that the democrats’ ridiculous claims assume no change in behavior when tax rates are reduced and that the academic evidence shows that this NEVER happens.

Yes you might appear wonky, but give us the damn data and put them in their place.

These are based on a web-based poll that is linked to unskewedpolls.com, which likely has a right-leaning readership. Moreover, the sample sizes are tiny, so the margins of error are huge. I wouldn’t read anything into these polls...

That poll shows Obama doing significantly better in Ohio and Iowa in 2012 than in 2008.

Ain’t gonna happen that way.

I like to see the Yahoo polls on anything political. The sample is usually 250,000 to 500,000 votes. I’m sure there are some voting more than once but that swings both ways. Anyways what you see is a consistant 65/35 split(averages) and conservative thought is massive compared to libs. My prediction is 59/41 Romney wins. It would be 62/38 but there will be massive fraud. When Romney and Ryan win they better target that issue.

Obama is in trouble...

I just logged into Xbox and took a poll about the election.

“If the election were held today, who would you vote for?”
Obama - 46%
Romney - 47&
Other-5%
Undecided-2%

If you can’t even carry the Xbox Live demographic, do you have a shot at carrying the country?

Zero chance Romney wins Michigan and loses Ohio, especially not by those numbers.

Ohio is probably THE key this year. Whoever takes it, takes the Presidency.

Pre-debate, Romney was almost definitely behind. Lets hope the debate brought enough Ohioans to their senses.

The Iowa and Ohio numbers are some of the worst numbers of any poll...just TERRIBLE for Romney. The others are good, but too many of the “wins” are extremely close. The problem is, more of the states have big wins for Obama rather than Romney in this survey.

Weird. Romney is ahead 11.1 points in Nevada and taking ichigan with 2.30, while being behind 11.45 points in Ohio. Seems totally implausible. And, Romney only behind 4.72 in Pennsylvania and Obama is ahead 15.7 in Iowa? And Obama ahead in 11.76 points in Wisconsin? Bizarre. Weird. Queer.

The article is complete garbage. That’s why you see ridiculous results like the huge Ohio lead for Obama. Look at how many likely voters they surveyed from each state. Less than 100 in some cases. If you don’t poll around 1,000 people in each group than the results are meaningless.

IOWA
61 likely votes — 12.55 margin of error

MICHIGAN
181 likely votes — 7.28 margin of error

OHIO
209 likely votes — 6.78 margin of error
