Romney is well positioned to win Ohio
The DC ^

Posted on 10/31/2012 4:00:36 PM PDT by Perdogg

The small but consistent leads that pollsters are giving President Obama in Ohio are based on the notion that Republicans will not show up on Election Day. What started as a couple of polls with questionable samples has become a consensus. Pollsters, with few exceptions, are predicting that Democrats will at least maintain their turnout edge from 2008 if not increase it.

A sampling of the crosstabs from recent Ohio polling reveals the following:

We have been saying this all along. Almost all the polls that have Obama up or dead even are between D+7 and D+14. In 2008, the turnout was D+8. That is simply not going to be repeated in 2012.

Now the human beings over at Gallup state that they see a R+1 turnout. If that occurs, we will see a landslide for Romney (as he is carrying independents by a large margin). I'm not that optimistic but even a D+2 or D+3 turnout will yield a solid Romney win due to those independents - which Romney will carry by double-digits.

“Pollsters, with few exceptions, are predicting that Democrats will at least maintain their turnout edge from 2008 if not increase it.”

I don’t know of anywhere in the country where that is happening. As far as I know just the opposite is happening. Dick Morris could be right about this being a big win for Romney if the polls are base on the 2008 model.

Watching Special Report with Bret was downright depressing. I left the room and went to fix dinner instead of listening to anymore.

It may be approaching time to tune the pundits out. I’m spent.

Rove is on with O’Reilly talking about EV/Absentee numbers right now. Says he’s now “confident” that Romney will take Ohio.

Oh they were just going on and on about how Romney had lost all his advantage from the first debate and everything was locked in a close tie or some showing O in the lead. I’m Trying hard to tune out the naysayers at this point.
