How is it tied up nationally, while deep blue states like MN, MI, and PA are showing a dead heat?

If Obama does not win these states by high single digits/low double digits, it would portend a bad night for Obama, no?

This is the strangest year relative to polling.

If R&R win this election and I’m cautiously optimistic that they will, Nate Silver will never be heard from again in the political scene and the leftists will burn that jerk’s career down.

Nate Silver and Intrade are full of it!

We’ll see who is right Tuesday. But a sitting Democratic President under 50% in states he owns - stick a fork in him. He’s done.

You don’t win states by 10 points four years ago and end in a tie in them today.

Where is O’s momentum?

Exactly. Even the biased polling is indicating a huge landslide for Romney if you read between the lines and just think about it a bit.

David Gregory and Chuck Todd were carrying Obama’s water hard this morning on Sunday Today. And, it appears Nate Silver will have a prominent spot in the cover story on CBS Sunday Morning.

No idea.

I think the pollsters are colluding to generate an agreed upon result. Rush said something similar on Friday, he said not even the republican pollsters are willing to stick their neck out this time.

It seems the pollsters hace all agreed to report a tied race. Gallup being out of the picture is even more puzzling.

The funny thing with these three states, MI, PA, and MN (even OR), is that they came into play so late that the corrupt state pollsters like CBS/QP and NBC/Marist can’t make any late minute push polls to change narrative.

Love it!

How can anyone be undecided? I’m in Florida and everywhere I go people are talking about the election, making remarks about how they can’t believe the mess we’re in and what’s wrong with these people that are supporting O. There are people in my neighborhood that I’ve known for years who never talked politics that are actively engaged and determined to oust O.

Not entirely sure what you are trying to say, but I can tell you that in VA, a vote for Goode is a vote for Obama. Pure/Simple. Either you want Obama to win or you don’t. Goode’s only on the ballot in VA so his campaign is folly and his supporters idiotas muy grande.

I don’t want to sound negative on this one, but as I opened the link I was saying to myself “please don’t be Baydoun”. Their polling in Michigan doesn’t have the best track record (they’ve frequently shown Romney doing better in Michigan than Rasmussen and others have) Again, I hope they’re right, but I’d wait for the next Rasmussen poll of Michigan.

What happened to Gallup? Why are they out of the picture?

Pray for inclement weather in Michigan on Tuesday.

Gallup being out of the picture is even more puzzling.

Right. Very odd how this played out. Now I am the furthest thing from a conspiracy theorist, but I do find it odd that the one pollster showing a strong Romney lead, which had a R+1 sample, uses the storm as an excuse to "suspend" its daily tracker. And won't post until the day before the election.

I am not expecting good news from Gallup tomorrow. Color me not shocked if Obama is +1 or so.

I'm starting to think the Romney campaign has been pulling an electoral shell game on Obama for the last few months. Romney made it look publicly like he was following the conventional wisdom and betting everything on Ohio. This caused Obama to focus almost exclusively on Ohio, but all the while Romney was quietly shifting the “ball” to states like Pennsylvania, Wisconisn and Michigan. All of a sudden Obama was woken up this final weekend and found “safe” blue states are tied or favoring Romney. Now Romney is the one with multiple paths to 270 electoral votes...

Not so surprising given the rightward drift of Michigan over the last decade. Our strengthened voting rules are also helping a lot.

I hope I never meet anyone in that 1.96% undecided. They’ve obviously never accomplished a thing in their miserable, hand wringing, linguini spined lives.


Actually, I think most of them are lying attention whores. I wouldn’t trust a word any “undecided” says about their personal party affiliation, who they have voted for in the past, or who they are planning on voting for.

I’ve always felt that way about undecideds.

There’s a long term rightward tend going on in Michigan.
