The full Swing State tracking update offers Rasmussen Reader subscribers a combined view of the results from 11 key states won by President Obama in 2008 and thought to be competitive in 2012. The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. If you do not already have a Rasmussen Reader account, subscribe now.

Platinum Members have access to detailed demographic information.

In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney earns 50% of the vote to Obama’s 46%. Two percent (2%) like another candidate in the race, and another two percent (2%) are undecided.

This is now the fourth day in a row - and the sixth time in the past seven days - that Romney has hit the 50% mark in the combined swing states. This survey is conducted on a rolling seven-day basis, and now most of the interviews for today’s update were completed after Monday night’s final presidential debate. Romney has held a modest lead for 15 of the last 18 days; Obama was ahead twice, and the candidates ran even once.

In 2008, Obama won these states by a combined margin of 53% to 46%, virtually identical to his national margin.

Triple P (democratic outfit) published a poll in NC that had Obama winning NC and dropped Mitt to an average of 5.0%.

In the last cycle, RealClear deleted a poll like this and wrote an article explaining their move. Stay tuned.

I believe Jim has said he will be voting for Romney. As will I. Romney has made the sale to me, and it wasn't easy. I look forward to helping hold his feet to the fire and make sure he doesn't lurch left...

That was TheThirdRuffian who said that Jim couldn't vote for Romney. You will have to ask Jim whether that is the case. In California, it won't matter but down ballot candidates can have a dramatic impact on state and local issues and they deserve our support.

I think this pretty much speaks for the whole Tea Party.

It was me; I do believe Jim said it. In fact, it was an entire thread.

That said, he may of had a change of heart.

I respect the desire to get rid of Obama fully and respect those who vote for Romney for that reason.

I just can’t do it. Voting for the pot smoker — and then Republicans down the rest of the ticket.

“Doesn’t Johnson get only voters that would otherwise either vote for Romney or stay home?”

No, there are a lot of Democrats that vote on the pot issue, which is a huge concern in New Mexico (surprise, huh?).

(And, no, I don’t smoke pot and never will.)

He did say it. I went looking for posts on the progress (if any) on speeding up FR and found this:

Well, we’re praying for a Reaganesque landslide against Obama and the corrupt Democrat socialists and a continuation of the 2010 tea party tsnamami nationwide so Sheila and I voted straight Republican. Let America decisively and unquestionably reject godless Marxism! Vote ‘em OUT! Thanks!
