That's a decent set of polls...

[Lief 🗽]

Very nice! Now Obama and Biden just need to do well at the next two debates and I think Obama is back to being the favorite.

[Tender Branson]

But, but, but Suffolk dude told us Romney was running away in VA ...

If I were a Democrat, I would be concerned about the shrinking margin in WI.

[TrapperHawk]

I'm very pleasantly surprised by the Virginia numbers. +5? Hell yes, I'll take that. Wisconsin's not too bad either. At least the President is at 50 percent. All and all, not a bad polling night for the President. I like it.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

WI has been VERY skittish this year... it's been reacting disproportionately to events... remember the 14/11/14% Obama leads a few weeks ago?

Ugh, the marijuana initiative in Colorado is apparently losing.

[Reds4]

Man... here comes the major poll dump.. I assume all day Thursday we will get tons of polls.. I like it!

[Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God]

Ugh, the marijuana initiative in Colorado is apparently losing.

By one point.  It still has a chance.

[LastVoter]

Further proof that this election is about racism, VA has a better margin than WI only for that reason.

[Devils30]

For some reason Quinnipiac always has Obama doing worse in Colorado than other pollsters. Even Rasmussen had him up 1 there. Dems tend to exceed polling margins there though.

That sucks...

Quinnipiac is very good in New England, NY, and NJ.  I'm less convinced outside of that area.  It's probably better than most Uni polls, but I'd rather have a professional pollster.

[Reds4]

Hard to believe that Romney would do better in Wisconsin than in Virginia... and 6 points better in CO than VA... one of them has to be off.. not sure which.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Hard to believe that Romney would do better in Wisconsin than in Virginia... and 6 points better in CO than VA... one of them has to be off.. not sure which.

As I've said this year, WI has experienced some 'consistently' wild swings... VA's been relatively stable.

Okay nice to see that VA is still favored for Obama, whatever lead Romney does have in some polls is small compared to Obama's. So VA goes for the President in the end.
WI is something else. +3 for Obama?! I guess that's what happens when the electorate that gave Scott Walker more votes than they gave McCain are enthusiastic to vote again.
Colorado?! Idk, that state does tend to swing away from the incumbent though.

Romney being Western matters a lot more than a lot of people realized.  Regarding VA, McCain had several unique advantages for that state that Romney does not.  Most significant is the Navy connection.  McCain outperformed generic 2000-09 R in some of the VA beach suburbs.  That won't be happening again, and Appalachia should also tighten.  Romney will gain over McCain in  NOVA, though.   

PS: McCain is very underrated.  Holding the challenger under 55% in that economic environment was seriously impressive.

p.s. - I caught my error in that one post.

This is the closest thing you'll get to western Romney.
