NC Requested Ballots:

Dem    26,707    26.2%
Rep    54,329    53.3%
None/Oth    20,958    20.5%
Total    101,994    

NC Returned Ballots:

Party Reg    
Dem    29.6%
Rep    51.5%
None/Oth    18.8%

In 2008, it was about a 20 point gap.  So far, the Republican ballots are running at least  slightly higher by either measure.  Both numbers have been equal or better for the past week.

So Romney is on track to win NC 50-49 so far?

IA R ballot applications is currently running 3.4 points ahead of 2008.

So Romney is screwed in Iowa? 3.4% isn't anywhere close to swing the state

D: 8516
R: 10884
I: 5727


D: 33.6%
R: 42.9%
I: 23.6%

We'd still need a comparison with 2008.  It is currently R +7.

D+2 for the entire EV period.

This extrapolates to about an expected tie in Colorado on election day. Obama won CO by 9 points overall.
