Very good news in contrast to the Marquette poll yesterday that showed Obama ahead (with a crazy D+5). I think Romney takes Wisconsin.

D/R/I split in WI is R+2? Is that realistic this year?

Good question. He may be basing this on the recent recall election. Not sure what the partisan turnout was then, but it would not be unheard of, but no way a D+5. People are jacked to vote on our side.

Sorry, but if this is very good news to you then you didn’t read it. Romney trails among independents in states with a built in advantage of Democrats. This seems to be a case of Rasmussen fudging the numbers a bit. This combined with other polls leaves Obama poised to take WI and IA a toss up at best.

I think he mistyped - the Wisconsin poll was D+2.

How does Romney go from a huge advantage among independents to losing independents? It just doesn’t make sense.

Not sure the reason but his daily tracking poll shows Romney’s support among independents down as well. Sandy? Not sure but double digit advantage has been his trump card and without it... game over.

“How does Romney go from a huge advantage among independents to losing independents? It just doesn’t make sense.”

I agree.

I’m suspicious of any swing state poll that has Obama winning independents. Not just because I want Romney to win. It’s just that it doesn’t make a lot of sense in this political climate.

being behind 13-15% on those who have already voted makes me put on my ‘concern troll’ hat. But Dems are notorious for the early vote, that makes me feel a little better. I always enjoy your posts SAF, keep up the good work.

The only silver lining to Obama winning is going to telling all you busy bodies to F off.

Especially Wisconsin, where I think Thompson is going to win vs. Baldwin for Senate. I can’t see anyone voting for Thompson and then voting for Obama.

Romney is going to wipe the floor with The Disaster in Wisconsin.

Who in their right mind believes the people who kept Walker are going to just forget all the RAT crap and vote to retain The Disaster?

It ain’t gonna happen.

If these numbers are accurate, I don’t just don’t see Romney winning WI.

So how is it the same people who elected Kasich turned around and voted down collective bargaining reforms a year later? There’s no correlation.

Here’s to hoping that the Dem’s early push is their only push.
