49-49 (which is 51-49) but more going out on an unsupported limb by polling with so much of the US still impossible to contact IMO.
There is generally a "bump" in weekend polling for the 'rats. That "bump" should be more of a hill or even a mountain right now, since the people putting in the 18 hour days to clean up from Sandy are probably more inclined to have jobs and vote Republican. The voters at home answering telephone polls now are somewhat more likely to vote Democrat.
How do you manage to turn a 49-49 tie into 51-49?
I sent an email to Rasmussen saying exactly what you mentioned here about the difficulty in contacting such a large number of people which make up the States of NY, NJ and Conn.. The sample obtained cannot be a fair representation with the chaos evident in these States now.

It’s interesting you don’t hear about that much lately.
I don’t have a land line and was contacted several times by pollsters. I refused and hung up, but I’m politically very active.
I confess I even thought of answering all questions as though I was totally in the tank for Obama. But I couldn’t lie, so I just refused to be polled.
People with too much time on their hands tend to do polls, and most of them are democrats. And I would not put it past them to say they are republicans. I’ve heard such people call in to conservative talk radio.
