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.
How does Romney go from a huge advantage among independents to losing independents? It just doesn’t make sense.
We know, you’re “concerned”.
To back to the DUmp!
Most polls show Romney winning independents.
If he wins the poll but loses indies, that is a flip from the other polls that showed him losing polls but winning indies. Maybe its how they screen for Dem/GOP vs indep. It could be one couunts Dem-leaners are indeps and the other keeps them as Dems.
Either way, this is good news for Romney. Even the ‘obama leads’ polls have Obama under 50% with over-samples of Democrats - he doesnt win that way. IA and WI are tossups, and If Romney wins that he wins the race. But he can win the election even if he falls short in these states.
Some of the polls are a concern. But none of the polls have actually debunked the real ‘Romney will win by 5’ thesis that I think reflects what is really going on.
