Damn, I hope Mitt's people are feeding this information as just a WEE bit off...and they're really 3 or 4 up.

What say you prognosticators who think Mitt is going to win Ohio by more than 1 point? Is he feeding them only "day of" election polls and not the internals on early voting??

Just a thought. If I wanted to radiate confidence, while ensuring my maximum turnout, no matter how far ahead I was, I would say it's just a point -- or tied.

[icwhatudo]

Romney has the momentum! You shouldn't vote for Obama Ohio!

[manc]

what about FL?

We need VA, FL, OH , CO

Notice how the media ignore the states obama will lose, like NC, IN

[cripplecreek]

I suspect they’re up considerably more.

Karl Rove kind of let the “close poll” strategy slip this morning when he mentioned that close polls are a better campaign tool than big leads. It also makes plenty for pundits and media to talk about.

[FredZarguna]

My prediction, 100% guaranteed: ANYTHING Newhouse has "leaked" to the press is coming directly from Romney's campaign staff or Romney himself, and has ONLY a coincidental relationship to whatever his actual numbers say.

[UKrepublican]

I think clearly the Romney strategy has always been an election day turnout one.

The media, for reasons known, are distorting the early voting stats, and polls.

On the former, they are most certainly wrong, and any amateur internet user can find comparative stats to show in most states Dem turnout is sharply down and Republican sharply up. It is simply a fact, although that is based on party registration.

If the Republican base turnout, and the Reagan Democrat switch overs are anything like most of us suspect, then it is going to be a strong Romney victory.

Obviously, I’m not an American voter, so I can only watch nervously from the sidelines waiting for the Conservatives to save the world from the Obama catastrophe.

If a few good freepers and others drag a few extra souls to the polls, it will be a good night tomorrow!

[unixfox]

I don’t care if he wins by 1 SINGLE vote as long as we get the current lying scumbag MARXIST out!

[scbison]

probably is but wanto make sure base goes out and vote so they lowball the number.

Side note, it seems like the problem with FR is fixed as everything is faster and don’t time out anymore.

[BarnacleCenturion]

Historically, republican presidential candidates tend to do a couple of points better in Ohio than they do nationwide. Just check the PVI there. When all is said and done this race won’t even be close. PA, WI, MI and MN are the states you should keep an eye on.

[johncocktoasten]

These numbers are a prop, one way or the other. Personally I believe there is probably a passable margin in the “real” Ohio internal data and that Pennsylvania and Wisconsin numbers are closer to legit. There is simply no way that Pa and Wis are tied AND Ohio that close. The numbers release is a turnout driver and also a goading of the Obama campaign to come forward with “something”

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Perhaps they’re factoring in 0bama’s voter fraud. Would be a realistic thing to do, actually. I am VERY impressed with how Romney has handled this campaign. God Bless America, and please God SAVE US FROM EVIL ON NOV. 6TH!!!!!

[Toespi]

Central ohio..........the people I have talked to, those who have early voted, say the lines are spectacular. Long, long waits.

[Professional]

Oh yeah, we’re getting the straight scoop, sure, whatever...

THere is a reason why they are “internal” numbers.

This is a leak, bs, meant to drive voters to show up. Both parties and the media do it.

Obama, if it was this close, would not have that obvious negative attitude, while Romney is bouncing around and whistling. If this was close, Romney would be making a bigger deal, about some more controversial issues like Benghazi.

I’ll say this, if the race is as close as they make it sound, which I don’t believe, then Romney has run a pretty poor campaign for the last couple weeks. I mean, who the hell would run prevent defense when you are slightly behind?

And we all know, that a tie goes to the Dems every time...

ON NOV. 7TH MORNING RETURNS TO AMERICA: IN THE END, RIGHT TRIUMPHS

VICE PRESIDENT RYAN

[CincyRichieRich]

BS
Why would they release their internal polls?
Just because it’s in print does not make it true.

[arrogantsob]

Here is the White Elephant - while a GOP pollster may get the party split right and not over sample RATs, there will be no more reason for a person to speak to that pollster anymore than one from Gallup, Pew.

So we are still not hearing from the 91-97% of the people who won’t even talk to the pollsters.

They don’t know that this pollster is working for the campaign.
