USA Africa Dialogue Series - WOW! YAY! Romney Increases His National Lead Over Obama To 4%

Tale of the Tape for Saturday, October 27, 2012

 

WOW!  YAY!  Romney increases his national lead over Obama to 4%. The Fat Lady is singing Bye Bye Obama!

 

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 50% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 46%. Two percent (1%) prefer some other candidate, and another two percent (2%) are undecided. This is the fifth consecutive day that Romney has been at the 50% level of support. He has enjoyed a three- or four-point edge on each of those days. See daily tracking history.

New polling shows that the race is tied in  Wisconsin, a result confirmed by the fact that the Badger State is receiving visits from Obama, Romney, Paul Ryan and Joe Biden. The importance of this state in the Electoral College battle is hard to overstate. Scott Rasmussen suggests in his weekly newspaper column that Wisconsin May Be the New Ohio this year. That's a startling result given that the president won Wisconsin by 14 points in 2008.

Romney is up two in Florida, moving that state back into the Toss-Up column. Eight states with 95 Electoral College votes remain Toss-ups. In addition to Florida, the battleground states are Colorado,  Iowa,  Nevada,  New Hampshire, Ohio, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

New polling from North Carolina continues to show Romney with a six-point lead in the Tar Heel State. The president is up five in Pennsylvania.
