"Counting both Ohioans who say they will head to the polls on November 6, and those who have already cast a ballot, Obama holds a 49% to 44% lead over Romney in a survey taken Monday and Tuesday night. "The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points. <cut> "But Obama has clearly received a boost from Ohio’s early voting period, which began on Oct. 2 and runs through November 5. Among respondents who say they have already voted, Obama holds a two-to-one lead over Romney, 60% to 30%. When those two groups are combined, the TIME poll reveals, Obama leads by five points overall in Ohio.

2. Isn't this a LITTLE bit ambitious?

6. Well,
|
I agree Missouri, Indiana, and Arizona are tall reaches, but even without them Obama gets more than twice the Electoral College votes than Mittens.

10. Arizona? Indiana? Are you kidding me?

I love optimism, but don't you think that's a bit of a stretch?

3. Mitt Romney is well on his way to being a minor Trivial Pursuit question.

Do they even make Trivial Pursuit anymore?

9. Excellent!
|
Things were starting to look too close for comfort. Ras (tied) leans a little right... SurveyUSA (O+3) tends to be a little left in their results. I didn't know where to slot Suffolk (tied)... but it was starting to look like a very narrow 1 point lead.
This will help be sleep better tonight. |
