Mittens is in pretty good shape if you can compare this with 1980....Reagan trailed till the Sunday before the election...much easier to fudge the polls back then...only problem I see is we have a much larger welfare class now..and California and New York are gone forever I guess..
Much larger racial/ethnic protected class as well.

So was McCain in 2008 — until the crash hit, and he temporarily suspended his campaign to go back to Washington. After that, his poll numbers plunged and he never recovered.
There may be similar “unknown unknowns” this year. Israel’s impending attack on Iran will likely produce consequences that we can’t really foresee yet.
It’s just too early to tell.
I still believe it will be a close election, especially in the electoral college.
