@hilbert,
IMHO, it's far too soon for such a poll to have any meaning. I have issues with voting polls, in general. Unlike the popular election, Electoral College vote is mighty hard to grasp until citizen voters cast their lot. All that matters with Electoral College is the final result - not the fickle polling. Especially with this alleged closeness of the popular voting. Can't count chickens before they hatch.

Even most of the voter polls is/are pretty meaningless (except to guide campaign workers and strategists) ... except they can be somewhat useful and meaningful in the last week or two of the election.

However, in looking at the link, if I were Obama's campaign manager, I'd be concentrating on PA, Texas, Deep South, FL if I were Obama.

All that being said, whether it's Obama or Romney that wins...we are still going to hamstrung by spineless legislators who have no accountability and are eltting the country slip away. Legislation needs to be put in place for enticing corporations to return to US and employ our able-bodied skilled work force and recharge our economy. Romney has already proved he's inclined to send workers off shore to benefit his pocket book.

@hilbert,
That shows Ohio and Colorado moving into Obama's column pretty convincingly. I would wait until we see more polls to make sure it just isn't an aberration in one week's polling.

@parados,
Florida is still the state that Romney has to win to have a path to victory. Obama has a slight lead but it's statistically insignificant.

@parados,
I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings but this lovely state of FL has infamous voters who've elected Rick Scott as Governor, mind you! It doesn't begin and end there, either.

@Ragman,
Is that the same Rick Scott that has a current approval rating in the 30s?

@Ragman,
This is a fun site to fool around with. Be warned, though -- you can (and will) waste a LOT of time Smile
