Gallup is using something close to an even D-R split, Ras is using a +3-4%D model, the rest are still in 2008 mode.

Watching the left as reality dawns on them over the next couple of weeks will be fun,

Actually, there is a third. Underconfident, or cynical, Romney supporters, who refuse to believe or accept that things can actually go our way.

I do not understand this notion that it is bad to be confident, or bad to be generally optimistic, about one's chances. People vote for winners, not losers. Confident competitors almost always do better than cynical ones. This idea that we have to stick our heads in the stand, and keep repeating, "this is close, but we are losing", is counterproductive, and also without any logical or empirical basis.

I am not suggesting that one pretend that things are better than they are -- rather, accept that the trend is on our side, the polls showing an even race are based on an unlikely assumption about voter turnout, and many of the "safe" blue states have large numbers of conservative voters, and if the left is heavily discourages (which it appears to be), then the whole "it's all about Ohio" meme becomes silly.

Yes, that’s the last ingredient for R/R that their voters get to the polls and win this. R/R have more of them than BO.
