Few things that jump out at me in the internals.
Notice that Obama has a huge 20 point advantage in the “East”
However, Romney has a four point advantage with support at 51-47 in the Midwest. Considering that Illinois is in the Midwest, it would seem Romney is well positioned then in the other Midwestern states.
Also Obama’s only real advantage is with the under 29 age group. So how many of this age group thatare deemed as likely voters because they voted in the Obama youth wave in 2008, will actually bother this time?
Thank you
No, I had not seen it. I very seldom go to Drudge. It’s scary
Apples and oranges ... Obama’s base coalition consisting of minorities and younger voters didn’t really have a stake in the midterms .
This time around the minorities are out in full force and the younger voters, to a much lesser extent.
The younger voters did most of the leg work in ‘08, so this election will reflect their abscence or engagement.
The reasons that no one is calculating 2010 in this election is that Democrats just stuck their heads in the sand during that shellacking and PRETENDED that it did not happen. So, they think that if they keep on pretending, that it will not affect 2012. - Republicans, on the other hand, aren’t figuring 2010 in because it would tend to almost seem overly optimistic and might suppress otherwise enthusiastic voting for R/R. - With the advent of the unruly “Occupy” crowd and Obama’s attempts to blur it with the Tea Party demonstrations, a lot of Tea Party people just went underground. I think we knew Obama and company was about to sabotage us with “fake” incidents at Tea Party rallies; and we didn’t have to meet and wave American flags to KNOW what we were going to do - and it was NOT to vote for Obama’s re-election.
