Wait until the town hall debate and the fallout of the Veep debate. Then we'll judge.

Yeah exactly.

Presidential race close in Arizona

A red state in play for Obama. That's even after the disastrous debate btw.

It is wishful thinking. They have been citing the Rocky Mountain poll for last one year and every couple of months post the same information.

Ohio looks pretty darn close on the first night of our poll there. We'll do more calls tomorrow and have results in the evening

PublicPolicyPolling ‏@ppppolls
VP debate looks like a draw in the swing states where we launched polls tonight. Not a game changer either way

PublicPolicyPolling ‏@ppppolls
Barack Obama was a lot stronger in our Saturday Ohio polling than Friday night. We'll have the final results soon

PublicPolicyPolling ‏@ppppolls
Barack Obama leads our new Ohio poll 51-46, not much different from 2 weeks ago when it was 49-45

PublicPolicyPolling ‏@ppppolls
19% of Ohioans say they've already voted and Obama has a 76-24 advantage with them. Romney up 51-45 with folks who haven't voted yet

PublicPolicyPolling ‏@ppppolls
One of the reasons Ohio's particularly tough for Romney- looking back voters support the auto bailout 54/37

PublicPolicyPolling ‏@ppppolls
Romney hasn't received the favorability bounce in OH that he has elsewhere- 45/51 now, 45/49 2 wks ago: Obama leads 51-46 in Ohio - Public Policy Polling …

POLITICAL MORTAL KOMBAT

Anything The Atlantic says or publishes should be taken with a pinch of salt. It is the left's answer of foxnews.com perhaps even worse.

boy romney just walked into this

otherwise he's probably in front. obama talking too much. and needs to throw in some anecdotes. seems a bit more aggressive

Burgey · 16-10-2012, 07:20 PM

A very different Obama to the bloke of a fortnight ago.

Spikey · 16-10-2012, 07:23 PM

romney's probably walked into three things so far: coal, detroit and low fuel prices when obama took office. obama's actually called him out this time.
