They were about five points high on the Walker race in Wisconsin.

Virginia (inconceivably) is all tied up.

We shall see.

This is the first poll taken in 22 days.

The last poll had them both at 47% and the poll before that had Obambi with a slight lead. I see a trend here.

Maybe not.

All other polls are prior to 6/5, the date of the Wisconsin Recall. Lots has happened between then and now.

Nonetheless, it still has Romney up and undecided at 9%.

Research on this says that a challenger leading with both under 50% almost always wins, although we’re still far out from November.

The overall trend is more important than any specific one poll. Over the past 2 months, the trend has definitely been in Romney's favor. Even in blue states, Romney is making gains.

Right now things could not be better for the Romney campaign. Obama is floundering out there, making a fool of himself while Romney gets to focus on getting organized and raising money for the battle ahead.

Yes, if we had Ronald Reagan or Sarah Palin as the candidate, we'd be 20 points ahead (just wanted to get that in there). But time to make lemonade out of lemons because Sarah Palin is not walking through that door - nor is she going to pop out of a cake at the convention.
