Romney currently leads Obama 52% to 45% among voters who say they have already cast their ballots. However, that is comparable to Romney's 51% to 46% lead among all likely voters in Gallup's Oct. 22-28 tracking polling. At the same time, the race is tied at 49% among those who have not yet voted but still intend to vote early, suggesting these voters could cause the race to tighten. However, Romney leads 51% to 45% among the much larger group of voters who plan to vote on Election Day, Nov. 6.

Seems a little inconsistent with the Rasmussen poll of Ohio (32% early voting, O 62%, R 36%)

That was Wisconsin, during the Walker recall. When I read about that I was grinning from ear to ear!! Thanks for the reminder!
“Romney currently leads Obama 52% to 45% among voters who say they have already cast their ballots. “
Good news, but would be skewed depending on which states are doing early voting.
30 minute wait at the polling center today. One enterprising youth was selling Obama t-shirts and even ballsier “WE ARE THE 47%” (who pay no federal taxes).
And before anyone asks, he was well away from the polling entrance and not in any violation.
Better for him to sell those t-shirts now than wait until after Obama loses and have to compete with the post-Halloween clearance sales merch.
There were any pollsters asking voters today “who they voted for” so unless the polling agencies are claiming that they have a “good” exit poll sample or have hacked the computers to tally votes, they have nothing but a guess at this point.
Obama is going to get almost 60 million votes. Thats a long line. Romney will have a longer line though.
Also keep in mind that Gallup polls adults for job approval. Not likely, not even registered voters. Which may explain the volatility of this category. Seems ridiculous to poll “adults” one week out from the election
“...would have been the third US president I saw...’
I saw ‘em all in an earlier time...Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, Nixon, Reagan...
I heard FDR ‘Fireside Chats’ on the radio. I voted for Nixon three times. I have a bar in my home that was used to serve the Kennedy’s...it was made by and previously in the home of Ray Miller, Dem Chairman of Cuyahoga County and the first big city pol to back JFK...the Kennedy’s were guests in the Miller home both as candidate and as president. I voted for Reagan absentee when I lived in Northern Ireland...
Re Ray Miller, Cuyahoga County Dem Chairman...three brothers followed him at Notre Dame. One, the last of the four brothers to go there, was one of the Four Horsemen. The Four Horsemen of Notre Dame of course comprised a winning group of American football players at the University of Notre Dame under coach Knute Rockne. They were the backfield of Notre Dame’s 1924 football team. The players that made up this group were Harry Stuhldreher, Don Miller, Jim Crowley, and Elmer Layden.
Miller, a native of Defiance, Ohio, followed his three brothers to Notre Dame. At 5-11, 160 pounds, Miller proved to be the team’s breakaway threat. According to Rockne, Miller was the greatest open-field runner he ever coached.
Not sure how much you can tell by party affiliation. I live in WV and voted earlier today. The great majority of people in WV are registered Democrats, yet few states hate Obama as much as the people here. He lost the 2008 primary by over 30% and 40 % of Democrats voted for a convicted felon instead of Obama in this years primary. There were a lot of people at the polls and I bet the big majority voted for Romney. I think Romney gets a good percentage of Democrat voters this year. The return of the Reagan Democrats.
If Romney is winning by 6+ in the early voting, the regular voting will result in a tidal wave.
In fact, I haven't even seen a political ad for any local election.
The Democrats have simply conceded the State.
Got my vote in yesterday in Virginia, Mitt and Allen. First time voting early.
Not sure I trust early voting. I did it for the 1st time yesterday. It did feel good to get it in though.
I go into some black neighborhoods in Virginia not the inner city and I see signs out about local candidates but not many with Obama signs. I’m hoping that is a good sign.

LOL. Gotta love journalists. "Science" too.
Very interesting piece, nonetheless. Thanks for posting it.
If this sample is correct then the statistical margin of error is less than 3 points. Romney wins in a landslide.
