People vote on 'likeability.' And our POTUS is infinitely more likeable than Willard.

I'm not sure I am aware of this poll, but nevertheless, keep up the FAITH!
There is nothing that brings more pleasure to me than to see the faces of Morning Joe, Hannity and Coulter on November 7 after the Obama's presidential win!

Don't think we've seen too many of their polls.
But it could help the overall national average.

How much $ does a news channel make election night? What if the election is over by 9:00? How much do they lose?
How much are they invested in a 'tight' race.

I'll be honest here, Mitt had the momentum, he was gaining almost everywhere, if it continued for 2 more weeks he would probably win. Obama didn't ave to reverse the momentum, just stop it, let's hope Monday's trouncing was enough, I think it's likely to be and then some.
54 Million people watched it!!!
