polling the stat nerds have a pretty clear picture that Obama is up by anywhere from 2 to 8 points in the other states and in the past few days there seems to be some movement toward Obama. Momentum in the last week toward Obama is really bad news for Mitt. This is why the betting sites are moving toward Obama in a big way the past two days: http://www.predictwise.com/politics/2012presidentindividual
