PA poll ping!
If you're a Democrat, that's not the only thing tightening.
PA Ping!
If you want on/off the PA Ping List, please freepmail me. Thanks!
Thanks for the ping. More Good News!
Interesting update on Rasmussen’s site:
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/archive/2012_electoral_college_scoreboard
Rasmussen now has PA and CT as “leans Obama” states, where they used to be “likely Obama”. If Obama has to defend them, that will mean less money for the other swing states, and the Dems are already VERY low on cash. Ras has the following state-by-state numbers:
NC 51-47; R by 4
MO 49-46; R by 3
FL 49-47; R by 2
VA 49-48; R by 1
NH 48-48; tie
NV 47-47; tie
OH 50-49; 0 by 1
CO 49-48; 0 by 1
IA 49-47; 0 by 2
WI 51-49; 0 by 2
PA 51-46; O by 5
CT 51-45; O by 6
Looks as though PA may be trending as well as Ohio :D
“Mitt Romney has bounced back from a Pa. low according to the latest poll from Rasmussen. He trails President Obama by 5 points, 51 percent to 46. But that’s a 7 point jump for Romney since’ Rasmussen’s previous Pa. poll, taken in mid-September.”
Sorry folks.
Obama has been holding steady at 51% in Pennsylvania for a while now. Rasmussen has been polling 51% for Obama there for weeks.
Short of something totally catastrophic to the Obama campaign — something that will make the first debate look like peanuts by comparison — Romney isn’t going to win PA. He may get close, but he’ll still fall short. Of course, I’d enjoy seeing an “Obama catastrophe”, and I won’t mind if I’m proven wrong on this one.
Romney is going to have to find the electoral votes elsewhere. Ohio may become his “last stand”. He can get to 270 ev’s with Ohio, but without it, he loses.
Sorry for the pessimism.
I’m a realist, and that’s how I see it.
(I would say the same thing in reverse for any state in which Romney is already breaking 50-51%)
It’s not a bounce, it’s a steady wind in his sails.
Mitt Romney needs to close on the endorsement of the United Mine Workers [UMW].
PRONTO!
