It just might be a landslide for Romney......

Romney's Electoral College gains - POLITICO.com



A new USA Today/Gallup poll has Romney leading President Obama by 4 percentage points among likely voters in 12 battleground states. The reason? USA Today says women in these swing states are moving Mitt's way. Time Magazine's Mark Halperin is also reporting tonight in an Electoral College update that a top Democratic source is worrying for the first time that Ohio may be slipping out of the Obama column and moving toward the tossup pile.
 
That was about 10 days ago. Unfortunately for the GOP it is a dead heat in Ohio on the most recent polls. Progress but not yet enough.
 
From the article:

As Fisher said, this was 10 days ago and since then another Republican put his foot in his mouth about women and rape babies being God's will. So if I were you, I'd not count on that female support just yet.

As of today 538 has electoral as 288 Obama 250 Romney.
 
Navy is delusional. The fact is that Obama is about a two-to-one favorite to win the election, and that is pretty consistent across the poll analysis sites and the betting sites. And the trend is actually slightly in Obama's favor since about the time of the VP debate. Of course it's possible that Romney could win, but if he does it will be by the skin of his capped teeth.

Well, if anyone wants to bet that Romney will win in a landslide, I'm willing to bet up to five figures that they are wrong. Let's put it that way. As Mitt would say, $10,000?

Well their latest poll that came out Monday showed improvement for Romney nearly across the board.

BTW, If you all are wondering what effect the VP debate had on public opinion of Ryan and Biden, read page 2.

Why would you rely on a single, not-so-well respected polling firm when there are now upwards of 30 polling firms looking at the race? The more reliable method is to look at the aggregates.

To answer your question... I don't.

I only posted that poll because it is an updated version of the one that this thread is centered around.

I posted Rasmussen which was the most accurate in 2008. I also posted CBS/USA today.
