Even Rasmussen and Karl Rove electoral maps agree Obama has around 247 electoral votes,which means Romney would need to take nearly every swing state...good luck with that Rasmussen electoral map Obama 247 Romney 196 http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/archive/2012_electoral_college_scoreboard Karl Rove Obama 247 Romney 182
I invented the jem balance algo to show you the 10 polls you were citing were off base and slanted ... it turns out I was correct. the national polls are now virtually tied. So you are not citing them. Now I tell you this about the electoral polls... They lag the national polls. They will turn honest soon too. You going to face this one truth.... It will all depend on the party turnout. Independents favor Romney by just enough... you will have to turnout dems like you did in 2008. do you think you are going to have a 2008 type turnout?
The national polls are showing the convention and VP pick bump,which is much smaller then McCains and Obama is still ahead in most national polls since Ryan was picked http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convention_bounce Convention bounce A convention bounce or convention bump refers to a surge of support that U.S. presidential candidates in the Republican or Democratic party typically enjoy after the televised national convention of their party.[1] A presumptive nominee for president may also be said to experience a "VP bounce" after announcing his pick for vice president prior to the convention. The size and impact of convention bumps vary, but presidential candidates usually see at least a small uptick in their polling numbers coming out of their conventions. No,I do not expect 2008 turn out,but Obama doesn't need 2008 turn out .He will have the turn out needed to win
Early polling results following the Republican National Convention suggest that any bounce that Mitt Romney got from the three days in Tampa was marginal at best. The latest set of data came from Gallup on Monday morning. Republicans overwhelmingly said the convention made them more likely to vote for Romney, although most would likely be voting for their nominee anyway. Democrats as predictably said the convention made them less likely to vote for Romney. Independents, a key group in any presidential election, were essentially split, with 36 percent saying the convention made them more likely to vote for Romney and 33 percent less likely -- although 30 percent said they don't know or that the convention made no difference.
No bump from Ryan or the convention. No real changes in voting. I find it funny, also, that the GoP choir who somehow think that paying to see that anti-Obama movie, just so some Hollywood types can laugh their way to the bank, will somehow swing anyone to the Ryan//romney ticket. No way, just another non event, but with popcorn. and, as to polls, Gallup has the Romney speech as the worst ever.. Probably better to have a good President for another 4 years. Good, not great, but much better than the Ryan/Romney ticket. and, we'll see Obama back in a solid lead after the convention. And, another bigger jump after the debates.
So far for the first time in months if not ever RCP has the national race as a tie. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html and some of the post convention polls have not yet been tallied. give it a few days.
