The absolute numbers do not matter a great deal because we have no idea which of the many polls is actually doing an accurate, predictive sample. But if they all hold their methodologies constant, then the trends do tell us things, and in this case they tell us good things.

The battleground states are what matter. We can lose the election the same way Gore did if we don't win the battlegrounds. Because of the shift in EVs, we could trade PA for FL and still win, but neither of those are certain.

Seems to me a shift of several thousand military personnel from Texas to FL before the FL vote registration date may be a good thing.

[Alas Babylon!]

Several thousand military personnel remain citizens of the states they are from and vote in those states, not in Texas or Florida if stationed there.

With the retirees heading south to Florida and those that are fed up with the liberal crap going on in Maryland and heading north of the Mason-Dixon Line (based on the building boom that is happening) don't count Pennsylvania out in any election.

After all we do have republicans as our senators, yes one is left leaning and hopefully come April we'll correct that problem as well.
