Romney’s edge among independents widened to 20 points from 18 just a day before.

Obama’s lead among women narrowed from 10 points to 8 points.

Romney also continues to make inroads among middle-class voters, moving from a 6-point lead against Obama with this group to a 10-point lead.

The current data include only polls taken after Romney’s resounding debate win over Obama on Oct. 3.

“The Disaster supported by ONLY those without h.s. education? I believe it.”

The Obamanation also handily takes the godless vote. Or maybe another way to look at it is that the atheists are voting for Zero as their god.

Title should be changed to 48.7- 43.7, or to 49-44.

I can still remember waiting up late for this poll to give its final numbers in 2008 (I think that was because it had been so accurate in 2004), and giving up and going to bed. I was hoping to see some undecideds move toward McCain, but I was shocked to see the numbers in favor of "that one" when I woke up.

Nice to see another poll with a sizable Romney lead, and TheMagicMarxist so far from 50%.

And RCP has now moved: New Hamphire, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania all to toss-up status from lean Obama.

That's 34 EV's from Obama's total.

In 2008 McCain won the white vote 55-43. Obama won the male (all races) vote 49-48. If McCain had won 60% of the white vote, he would have won.

Yep. The only election that is similar historically (where the polls changed on a dime) was in 1980 - after the Reagan/Carter debate.

Nice! This could be an even bigger margin than in ‘08!

I’m thinking I may have to buy some champagne for election night ;-)

watch the MSNBC crew's heads explode from screaming racism on election night.

If The One loses there will be deafening cries of "RACISM!" And not just from PMSNBC, but from every MSM outlet.

This is why we have made some contingency plans for Nov. 7th. There is no point putting oneself into harm's way.

Thanks for posting that. The big thing that jumped out at me from that data is that Romney is winning the middle class.

It’s also worth noting that the 2008 vote has now morphed into a 7% swing toward Romney (2% of McCain voters are going O but 9% of O voters are going Romney).

And Obama’s still out blathering about a muppet (unless ‘Big Bird’ is his pet name for Michelle).

“This is why we have made some contingency plans for Nov. 7th. There is no point putting oneself into harm’s way.”

Unfortunately, I will be a poll-watcher, in the heart of the beast. (Center Township, Indianapolis). Not as bad as Gary in 2010, but then, we didn’t have the potential for racial riots then, either.

They oversampled democrats by 8 and still the best they could do is Romney +5%

That says it all. If this poll is anywhere near accurate, we are going to enjoy November 3 and January 20.

2008 VOTE
Obama 83% 9% 8%
McCain 2% 94% 4%

So, 9% of those that voted for zero are voting for Romney, and 8% are undecided. That means that 17% have gotten or are getting a clue.

As for the 2% that voted for McCain that are voting for zero - anyone ever met one of these people?
