At this point, its reasonable to think he will get between 55-60% without a landslide.

If a new Michigan poll discounts it, you can change it back to Obama then. But please move Michigan to the Romney column for now.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Pbrower, you forgot to include the poll with Romney ahead in Iowa.

As for this poll, I'm not surprised as a Jehsey native.

Because pbrower is an ignorant, I have to update the map myself:

Obama vs. Romney

[HST1948]

Out of curiosity, why is Wisconsin the lighter shade of red? The last poll I saw from ppp  showed Obama leading Romney 51-39. Have I missed a poll since then?

[Peeperkorn]

Lol @ Pawlenty.

[Gustaf]

So, NJ was +9 DEM in 2008. Obama leads Romney by 14% in this poll, which would give Obama +5 nationally.

Given previous polling and NJ's penchant for toying with Republicans I think this poll is a bit off.

I'd expect Obama to lead Romney by something like 6-10% at this stage in New Jersey (adding about 5% in the campaign )

would love to see another Booker/Christie 2013 poll.

How does Cain manage to do worse than Palin?

How does Cain manage to do worse than Palin?

Lack of name recognition?

How does Cain manage to do worse than Palin?

Lack of name recognition?

Here's a thought, although he still should be doing better than Palin:

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

How does Cain manage to do worse than Palin?

Lack of name recognition?

Here's a thought, although he still should be doing better than Palin:

Nah, Kean's favorables are net positive, 32-27.

Yeah, the "Kean's unpopularity pulling down Cain" is the weakest part of the argument. And the argument only has two parts, so that's not good.
