DC is meaningless in Presidential elections. Why bother to show this unless they are trying to help this loser out?
Because he tops the ticket....look for the GOP to gain at least 10 Senate seats...folks..a 60 seat, filabuster proof majority is NOT impossible..
The scary thought is that states like New York and California [with large numbers of electoral college votes], seem to vote blindly Democrat.
So. . .164 electoral votes. . . assuming no switchovers of close states. . .
I find it interesting that California, Oregon, and Washington State are not on this list. If I were a strategist in the WH, that alone would make start me “cryin’ for my momma”.
Interesting.
Conn (-1)
New Jers (-3)
Maryland (-3)
Delaware (-3)
Mass (-5)
New York (-6)
Wisc (-7)
Michigan (-7)
New Mex (-8)
Washin (-8)
Oregon (-8)
Maine (-8)
Illinois (-8)
Califor (-8)
Rhode I (-13)
Vermont (-13)
Hawaii (-16)
What I find *very* interesting, is that while he’s dropped about a percent in Connecticut, Rhode Island is not on this list either.
That’s a drop of at least 13 percent.
What if Hillary runs as an independent?
17 months until January 2013. That’s a whole bunch of time for a whole bunch of ups and downs.
You need more than 60 Senate seats. You need more like 65, to overcome the liberal Republicans.
Hillary running will only make it more of a lock for any repubic to win.
Just 54% in Illinois and 56% in Hawaii???!!!! His supposed “home” states!
SAFE STATES:
CT - 60
MD - 59
DE - 59
MA - 57

MS - 45 (O+2)
What? Obama is less than 50% in California? WOW!
He’s lost his support in Mountain time zone. He’s hanging onto CA and HI, on the west coast.
Right now the battleground is in the rust belt and Canada bornder states:
IA, MI, WI, ME, MI, MN, IL, PA and WA. OH is solid R (+5), and IN is R+10.
His support has held up in certain states with heavily amish population. CT, DE, MA, NY, MD, NC, GA, VA, MS but has still slipped in all but GA and MS.
Not yet. Still at 53 percent approval. But he’s lost Oregon and has 50 percent approval in Washington.
Good observation. I keep saying we need about a 68% majority in BOTH houses, even with a conservative or “republican” president to ensure that the weak-kneed will be overcome. Look at Col. West. Great guy, patriot to the core, and he still voted the wrong way.
Even in DC, he’s down 9.
