13. in Republican leaning states

It probably makes sense that many of the Independents are going to lean GOP.

But the fact that Romney is still doing well with many Independents shows the race is not over yet and cannot be taken for granted.

I think in order to pull over some of the remaining Independents to the Obama camp, Obama will need to beat Romney in the debates and close the deal with them. Some of those Independent folks can be stubborn and won't move unless they see Romney implode.
