Looks about right. Other polls show that Romney's gaining while Obama is losing ground. Keep watching Real Clear Politics.

Which states will it come down to? Seems like only a handful will matter...OH and FL being the big ones. Any others in play that will tip things? I'm thinking if either candidate wins both he'll win the POTUS.

Last I saw Obama had a narrow edge in both but we're still a long way out. I just hope those states get called before I have to go to sleep on election night. I don't want it to drag out for a week or longer.

That is awesome, thanks Chris. I didn't realize NC was so close to Ohio in terms of EV...Lord knows we have enough Carolina folks on this board :evil: :grin: Va will have something to say about it too.

I was surprised TX is just likely.

You are so right. The opinion maps are snapshots, not predictions of the election result. However, momentum matters, and the average of these maps has trended Obama since early July. In addition, no map has assigned Romney over 206 electoral college votes since these maps began to be published in 2011. Time is growing short. To get to 270, Romney needs to stop Obama's momentum and start turning tossups red.

I don't think Obama will take NC.

I don't think Obama will take NC.


I don't think he will take NC, Florida, or Ohio.

I hope not but with all those illgals in Florida, hope they can't find a way around to be able to vote. You know the dems are up to something.

Obama is losing the Jewish Donors and the Jewish Vote. Romney is over 26% First time a Repub has been over 24% in decades. Plus with Rubio and and Cruz of Texas. I don't see him pulling to much of that Cuban Vote.
