Romney takes lead in electoral vote?

[Jacob1983]

Obama has no one to blame for that but himself. He put those fairy tale unrealistic expectations and goals on himself back in 2008 that he probably knew that he couldn't deliver on if he became president. He needs to own that.

[Wild Cobra]

If he thought he could deliver, then he is even more inept than I thought. The people who believed him are pretty stupid as well.

Ahh how cute it's a red team circle jerk.

[Jacob1983]

I'm not on team red or red team or whatever hipsters are saying. Btw, I'm probably going to vote for Gary Johnson or Virgil Goode. Thank you.

Hipster? Do you even know what the term means? I wish there was some new political paradigm to be hip to but there isn't.

That being said, if you are voting third party I salute you.

Gallup vs. the World

The Gallup national tracking poll now shows a very strong lead for Mitt Romney. However, its results are deeply inconsistent with the results that other polling firms are showing in the presidential race, and the Gallup poll has a history of performing very poorly when that is the case.

With all due respect, there were/are many on this board who derided the red teamers when they claimed fraud with the polls a couple of weeks ago...... so none of you should come out and complain about how wrong polls can be now......

[Latarian Milton]

guess the election this year will come into a similar ending like the 48' one where truman came back from 36% approval rate something and earned a 2nd term presidency. romney & his team were brilliant on the debates but i still believe sadly and unwillingly that obama will win reelection

[djohn2oo8]

I think thise deserves an ELE. Though as if anyone (Darrin, Yoni, WC or CC) would take or honor it

Beatnik!

Romney isnt actually leading in electorates..they might as well switch Ohio and Pennsylvania back from neutral to blue. Obama phones 4tw o Cleveland.

[ploto]

Most of the national tracking polls (outside Gallup) show a relative tie ranging from Romney with a 2 point lead to Obama with a 3 point lead. New polls in Iowa and Wisconsin look stronger for Obama.

The analysis I have seen of national polls shows that Obama leads in general in the Northeast, Midwest, and West, but that Romney has enormous leads in the south. These numbers "skew" in a sense the national number relative to how the electoral college works. It does not matter if Romney wins Oklahoma by 35%, Arkansas by 25%, Alabama by 20% and Mississippi -- and Obama wins Ohio by 2% and Wisconsin by 4% -- they each still get 28 electoral votes.

The hipster candidate of choice is Grover Cleveland.

Uh...it appears Romney is getting the bounce. I know that flies in the face of the Romney lost because Obama didn't suck as bad analysis the left believes.

It took 4-5 days for the Romney bounce to manifest. We'll see pretty soon.

[jack sommerset]

I'm gonna laugh if the Mormon beats Barry. There will be a lot of sad faces on election night if that happens.

Sad faces in here. Happy faces across the USA. God bless

Boutons head would explode.

Boutons head would explode.

you wish, but it won't happen.

A lot of ignorant 99% "marans" who would vote Gecko and the Repugs into control of Federal govt will rue voting day.

We'll know tomorrow what kind of bounce he got. I would actually assume neither candidate changes much.

[boutons_deux]

trending looking great for the 99%

I've said from the beginning that that this election was the GOP's to lose and it looked that way but now my gut feeling is that the 1st debate did have a much greater impact than many thought and Romney shined again at that dinner the other night with Obama. Romney is picking up steam.

If anyone wants to put some money where their mouths are let me know and we can discuss favorable odds for Obama based on the RCP data.

[DJ Mbenga]

Gallup ain't doing anything wrong. Its just this weird dynamic where Romney has gained in states where he has no shot or will win anyways so its not reflected in swing states.
its no secret its al, about Ohio I wonder how early voting will play. When it opened up Obama was leading big and he has the big time lead in early voting. Its like when Gingrich made his rise in Florida only to get screwed when people had already voted for Romney already.
