After seeing so much manipulation in polling this election, any poll showing Obama at or below 50% puts that state up for grabs. The problem with the those states is that the past few elections have them trending as safe dem this election. That means very few polls conducted.
Thanks for the update LS!
PPP Polling just tweeted
Obama 50%
Romney 47%
Virginia
A couple more Romney voters in Fresno and California could be in play.
How can the polling organizations continue to project a close vote in Ohio when the actual ballot-request numbers continue to be so substantially in the Republicans’ favor compared to 2008?
It would be in the Democrats’ interest for the Romney Team to assume that Cuyahoga County, for example, was so solidly Democratic there was no reason for them to spend money on advertising there. But the ballot-request figures now prove otherwise. So the Romney people will now be able to devise a better strategy for directing their funds in Ohio for maximum effect.
Closing the gap?? The Rs have extended their leads in most cases, held solid at a six point gain in the biggest D county, and grabbed an absolute lead in Franklin.
Rasmussen has Romney up by 2 in Virginia..I wouldnt trust anything from PPP
You forgot the d. PPP(D)
I just peed on PPP Polling

Propaganda site.
A discredited push poll entity !
“PPP Polling just tweeted

PPP is trying their best to keep the troops from becoming too disspirited—these things can snowball into an inevitability in the public’s eye (which is what PPP and other leftists were trying to do for Barry before the debate—making the polling look like it was all over for Romney).
Are these comparisons being made at the number of days before the elections? Is it possible that the numbers were similar at the same point in time in 08 and that the dems killed it close to the election?
Any data on butler?
I feel that won it for bush in 2004.
Ryan went to miami which will help too.
Looks to me like things are reverting to 2004 breakdowns after the McCain/financial debacle.
Trend in that poll is toward Romney from their earlier ones despite being from PPP at least.

Explain...
I expect Romney to do much better in the Philly suburbs than McCain did in ‘08 or Bush did in ‘04. He will also do a little better in Philly itself. The rural normally Republican counties will see higher turnout. Romney will win the election because of higher turnout with better margins in coal producing counties. Obama wants those people out of the coal business. Bush lost by about 144,000 votes (51-49)in ‘04. Demographics have not helped Romney since ‘04, but I still expect him to win because Pa and the country are in trouble, and Romney is projecting confidence and hope. I may be wrong but have a deep hunch I am dead on. We will see.
Are people LEAVING Ohio, dying or what?
Butler is solid Rep. Only some dem pockets in Hamilton and Middletown.
