You see, this is why polls are unreliable, even one as meticulous as Rasmussen. The actual early vote is at about 29% of expected turnout, not 40%, and that early vote has been concentrated in Democrat-leaning counties, as a result of the Obama campaign emphasis on early voting. These numbers just aren't accurate.
While the early voting numbers are not encouraging the Independent numbers are awful. Romney can’t win any crap in any swing state that has him down 9 with independents. And in order for Rasmussen to show a tie in Ohio with Independents +9 for Obama he is giving the R’s all the benefit of turnout. This one ruined my day.
Did you see those economy numbers? Romney up +6 on economy, +5 on jobs. Nearly tied everywhere else.
A tidal wave is going to hit Ohio, like it is the rest of the nation.
