New Poll Projects: Romney 52, Obama 47
Weekly Standard ^

Posted on 10/29/2012 2:29:01 AM PDT by Arthurio

The bipartisan Battleground Poll, in its “vote election model,” is projecting that Mitt Romney will defeat President Obama 52 percent to 47 percent. The poll also found that Romney has an even greater advantage among middle class voters, 52 percent to 45 percent.

While Obama can close the gap with a strong voter turnout effort, “reports from the field would indicate that not to be the case, and Mitt Romney may well be heading to a decisive victory,” says pollster Ed Goeas.

Should Romney win by 5 percentage points, it would increase Republican chances of gaining control of the Senate. His coattails would help elect GOP Senate candidates in Virginia, Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. “Republicans are now certain to hold the House,” Goeas said, “regardless of how the presidential race turns out.”

The poll’s election model takes into account variables including voter intensity, age, and education, and voters who are certain in their vote. The race “remains very close in the surface,” Goeas said, “but the political environment and the composition of the likely electorate favor Governor Romney.”

I don’t think PA has early voting. I’m unsure about NJ and NH though.

this is so devestating for obama, that if any of you are inclined to believe he is going to pull something purely devious, now would be the time to worry.

Juan was trying to tell Karl that he didn’t know what he was talking about as Karl explained early voting.

Leftist freaks seem to hate that number, not just because they’ve been called out on it, but also because they wish it was higher — more American slaves to their agenda.

Too bad that this minor hurricane blew the Benghazi scandal off the radar the week before the election.,,,a cruel development.

The Constitution says two things as I recall - states in charge of voting and specifically names the day voting occurs. I’m asking any Constitutional scholars out there to tell me whether voting can be postponed.
