I think that we are witnessing Mittmentum and that it will continue through Election Day.
Probably caused by the coveted undecideds breaking for Mitt 75/25, as they broke for Kerry in 2004.

Now, I don't know the exact distribution of the undecideds in Bush-Kerry election. It's just my gut feeling. But they broke for Kerry massively. Here's a tweet from Adrian Gray:

He is blowing so much smoke on 2004 I don't even know what to say. The following states were within 3% in the RCP election day averages that year:

IA: Bush +0.3- HELD
FL: Bush +0.6- HELD (would have singlehandedly elected Kerry if it flipped)
WI: Bush+0.9- FLIPPED
HI: Bush +0.9- FLIPPED (huge issues with polling here every year)
PA: Kerry +0.9-HELD
NH: Kerry +1.0- HELD
NM: Bush +1.4- HELD
OH: Bush +2.1- HELD

Yep, Bush totally had 270 in the bag on election day 2004.

Not quite. According to the exit polls, people who decided  on the last day broke for Kerry 52/45.

There were just two polls IIRC, or at least only two late ones.

Didn't I completely discredit you on this in the IA thread?  I noticed you never bothered to even try to argue with me.  Maybe you ought to go back an refresh your memory.

Rasmussen's party affiliation for October R+5.8 Cheesy Wow!

Believe he was very close the last two elections, if this is even 0, Obama's toast.  D+3 or less and Romney likely wins Wink

If Romney can only mange a +1 in an R+5 then he is going to get blown out.

Ummm no, because as we've been hearing over and over from the much touted liberal pollsters the turnout is going to be along the lines of 2008 (d+7) or better.  With those numbers Obama can't even get to 50% or much above 47% and it's tied in a lot of the polls.  So we're talking a  13 point difference.  If Romney gets D+1 he most certainly wins.

He was up 1 in their previous poll so that is good.

You've forgotten to unskew Rasmussen with Rasmussen's own party id numbers.

RAND's final poll, I assume:

Obama 49.88%
Romney 45.49%

Slight gain from yesterday.

So you're taking a favorable piece of information from one poll (Romney leading by 1 according to Rasmussen) and then mix with another favorable piece from another poll (Obama with only a narrow lead in a D+7 poll) so that you can prove that Obama is finished? And you're surprised that you're not taken seriously...

Obama is peaking at the right moment as undecideds decidedly break towards him. Fantastic news.

Romney's lead with whites in the ABC/WaPo poll is just 56-41. And with a white percentage of the vote of 74%, unchanged from 2008 (which is unlikely IMO). Tomorrow will be a good night.

Obama supporters are more enthusiastic according to the ABC poll.

Turnout is critical, with Obama’s slight edge relying on robust participation by Democrats and minorities and a competitive showing among independents. But there’s some evidence for it: his supporters are more strongly enthusiastic than Romney’s by an 8-point margin in this poll, produced for ABC by Langer Research Associates. That’s numerically the widest enthusiasm gap since early September.

It's often what happens in 'incumbent' elections, but not always, each side perceives the election differently. For example every challenger sees the election as a change election, so their supporters are more ethusiastic and have a purpose. The incumbents supporters aren't normally as driven, so take longer to engage.

I've argued that over-weighting the enthusiasm is a mistake, largely because (and this is only anecdotal) if the incumbent has positive approvals and the public like him, the likelihood of his base and associated voters abandoning him is low... not impossible, but low. Incumbents usually, with the exception of 1976 (but I generally treat that election a little separately), get thrown out of office in a wave. I, speaking with as much objectivity as I can muster, don't see ANY evidence of a wave.
