Four years ago, President Obama became the first Democrat since 1964 to win Indiana. He looks unlikely to repeat that feat.

NC, and Indiana back in line it looks like. I hear the Sequester is moving numbers in VA. Buzz is allen up a few points and the prez race is now tied.

[napscoordinator]

He needs Ohio and Florida 100 percent. Man if we had Santorum we would win this thing easily. Sanotrum/Bachmann would be my dream ticket and every conservative in America.

I hear the Sequester ...

Sequester?? Who's that?

[Zhang Fei]

Obama beat McCain by 1% in 2008. If Romney beats Obama by 16% in 2012, and the trend goes across the board, Obama could be in for a real wipeout.

With that big a swing against Osama in one battleground state,a swing half that big in the other ones would give Romney 400 Electoral votes.

re: Sequester.

OK, I figured it out.

Another comment on the poll: Very large undecided seems odd to me.

[Paul8148]

Yes.Allen has made it issue number 1 there in the state with TV ads.

Sanotrum/Bachmann would be my dream ticket and every conservative in America.

A Dream Administration in the White House, absolutely yes! I would love them as President and VP. But a Dream ticket, no way!

I do like the “rising tide lifts all boats” theory (or at least the suggestion that a tide in one place is at least an indicator elsewhere), but out of curiosity, since I’m not from there, has any part of Indiana been more adversely affected than the rest of the country to account for such a huge swing there?

I’d love to see Santorum play a big role in the months ahead. He was one of the most incisive, forceful and credible voices against Obamacare.

[Zhang Fei]

Indiana's 80% non-Hispanic white. Romney is reputedly getting 65% of the white vote nationally. If he's getting that in Indiana, that's 52% right there.

It's actually a relatively low percentage of the white vote. In southern states, the GOP routinely gets over 70% of the white vote, which makes up for the fact that southern states have more blacks a % of their populations, who, as in the rest of the country, vote 9 to 1 for the Dems, due to their support for freebies and legally-mandated racial preferences.

So Hoosiers favor Mittens RomenyCare over Flaming ObamaCare

goodie goodie

“Another comment on the poll: Very large undecided seems odd to me.”

Not sure. I wonder how many use this response because they are afraid of being labeled ‘racist’ if they don't say Obama.

“Man if we had Santorum we would win this thing easily.”

If we had any nominee to the right of Bill Clinton we would win this thing easily. We do not.

[bgill]

Yikes, don’t give Hussein any more warning than we have to.

[tatown]

My guess is that you are right. The vast majority of those ‘undecideds’ are actually Romney supporters that don’t want to admit it for fear of being considered a racist.

[nhwingut]

I’m waiting for the trolls (Raising Cain, RighwardHo, etc) to explain that we should not rely on Rasmussen. We need to be concerned with polls like Pewk(which oversample Dems by 19).

[Paul8148]

I Supsect that there is even some black voters who is going to vote agisnt obama over Gay marriage but does not what to say so.

I Supsect that there is even some black voters who is going to vote agisnt obama over Gay marriage but does not what to say so.

I suspect you could be right. We should hammer the gay issue as one of the secondary issues in this campaign. I fear that Romney will not want to touch it though.
