If it's close, I think those are the 3 states to look at, with Colorado deciding the whole thing. But if the economy turns to sh*t , Obama may win handily. One reason he's jumped ahead this week is the chaos in the financial markets. RealClearPolitics - Electoral Map |
I also take a look at RealClearPolitics.com but they are really a poll of polls. And I like to take a look at each of the polls and the data of the poll - what questions where asked, what the break down appears to be (young/old, red/blue, white/black, male/female). You can see on the RCP site that many of the recent state polls done by Rassmussen have been FOX New/Rassmusen polls. But not all of their recent state polls have been.
Rassmussen is suppose to be an independent polling place. They won't even do paid polling for anyone because they say they want to maintain their independent status. That is why I question them partnering with FOX on any poll.
