New polls released in four swing states on Tuesday all indicate President Barack Obama edging out Republican nominee Mitt Romney by four to eight points, including by eight-points in Ohio, where Romney is making several campaign stops Tuesday and Wednesday. In each survey, Obama's advantage is within the poll's sampling error, but each survey indicates the president grabbing at least 50 percent of the likely voters interviewed.

The fresh batch of polls in Ohio, Florida, Iowa and Nevada - which together account for 59 electoral votes - were released by the Washington Post and American Research Group and were all conducted over the past six days, after the release of secretly recorded clips from a May fund-raiser, in which Romney casts Obama supporters as dependent on government. The story dominated coverage of the race for the White House last week.

1. Wow, that is great news! It looks like Romney's "47%" speech is now taking...

it's toll!

[lebkuchen]

4. when does the next part of that come out?

the night before the election?

[Spazito]

5. I don't think there is a 'next part' re the tape...

Mother Jones posted the full tape on their site:

Romney's ugliness is in full display.

2. This is a big fucking deal.

6. Yes it is.

3. super--I'd like to see a Heidi Heitkamp poll (ND Senate)

There hasn't been one since early July. Her opponent would probably like to keep it that way, but still, she's got to be pulling ahead.

7. Lets hope so, Heidi has a good chance of winning over the slum lord.

North Dakotans seem to have more sense over all, than Missourians, with their love affair with Todd Akin. I fear for this state.

[lebkuchen]

18. Akin will lose

We gave McCaskill $100, too, not that that will win her her campaign, but she's not my senator. Others outside of MO will be so moved.

8. Wonderful news!

Vote, Vote, Vote and get your family and friends to vote!

9. Romney's fucked. All he can do now is try to save face by not losing too badly.

I think at this point all he can try to do is not lose worse than McCain did. At this rate, he's headed for Bob Dole territory.

10. I read a PPP poll and Michigan is solid Obama territory. 13% of Republicans are voting for Obama

It's 53-39 Obama with 65% of people believing that Romney is not truly a Michigander. What I found funny was they asked how Romney would have done if he had picked Gov. Snyder for VP and Romney lost a point, LOL. They asked if we thought the trees were the right height and 38% said yes, 8% not sure & 55% unsure.

15. "They asked if we thought the trees were the right height and 38% said yes"

Ya know,...it really gets me how easily molded some people's minds are.

Tell you what,...ask the local Right Wingers who claim Mitt was right if Michigan can take pride in its trees. When they say "yes" then ask them if they love the trees and call them "tree huggers".

11. Sheesh. I shudder to think what the *October* surprise will be. :-) n/t

Now if we could just get rid of Justin Amash, I would be a happy woman.

13. The columnist is misinterpreting the margins of error reported at least in the linked WaPo poll.

His employer needs to get him some statistics training or hire a statistical consultant.

[davidwparker]

14. Vote, people. Vote.

That's the way it looked in Ohio, too. Then, the theft started.

We need to aim, not by what people say, but what people say + the margin of error + the margin of disenfranchisement.

But, a positive note.

16. ^^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^^

17. I've been polled!

I'm in Missouri. I've had several calls lately from apparent pollsters, but today I decided to go ahead and answer. The call was from Clarity Polling. I'm pretty sure it was for repugs because they were listed first in all of the choices. I was asked about the presidential election, the race between akin and McCaskill, what my views on abortion were, my age, my gender, and my race.

I don't think they are going to like my answers.
