VA: Rasmussen: Obama, Romney tied at 47%

[Yank2133]

At this point, with WI, IA, and OH slipping away, VA is becoming a must win for Obama.  And it is not looking good.

Opebo, from your posts, you never seem at all optimistic. I don't see Ohio slipping away at all. Obama has had a consistent lead all year. Wisconsin is moving to toss-up, but it always was there for most people. Ryan didn't change the race that much. He just made the race a choice and not a referendum, which HELPS Obama.

Yeah, there has no movement in Ohio since the beginning of this year. And bearing something major happening, I don't see Romney making up ground to flip the state.

How is Ohio slipping away at all? And we rarely get polling from Iowa these days.

Guys I'm just watching the polls popping up here, and also looking at this map every day: http://www.electoral-vote.com/  - looks to me like the polls went from a clear few point lead for Obama to about a 1-2 point lead or tied (in other words the state went from 'likely Democratic' to 'barely Democratic' on that map).  Seems to me there's been a definite erosion.

Virginia and Omaha. Strangely enough, this election may well be decided by Omaha.

But Omaha is extremely like to vote for Romney, Ljube.

Silver just bumped his forecast of Obama winning OH to 70% from 64% today. Mitt hasn't made any grounds in that state and bearing some major event the state will be in Obama's column.
