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:

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 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.

Thanks Perdogg.

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.
