COMMENTARY BY ENGINEER

This is actually good news believe it or not. Internals show the Governor rising.

He would have been at 50 today but his “Lean Romney” number got rounded down to Zero. This is the first uptick the Governor has had all week. This means that the Sandy bump is fading

Also the bad Gov Romney day on WED fell off. I think THU is also a bad Gov Romney day and tomorrow that will fall off too

• Presidential approval remains at: 51
  
• Approval Index remains at -8% but with INDEPENDENTS it is -20%
  
• Right Track/Wrong Track is unusually high at 44/52
  
• RT/WT for Hispanics/Asians is: 49/46 (NOT believable)
  
• The Governor is back to a 9 point lead with Independents (YAY!!) but trials women by 6
  
  What is still unbelievable for me is that Rasmussen is showing that the Governor has LESS support from Republicans (87%) than the President has from Democrats (89%). This flies in the face of both conventional wisdom as well as every other poll (including liberal ones)
  
  So overall, good day for the Governor, looking at internals. The top line does not show it yet, but if today is as good a polling day as SAT was for the Governor, by tomorrow the Governor should have a lead in the Rasmussen Daily Tracking poll
  
  NOTE: Many of these numbers are internal and not available on the link above

POLITICO has an article that says that Obama’s lead in early voting is tenuous and may not be enough to counter election day voting by Republicans. Another article on POLITICO says that Romney has slight lead in Michigan.

Drudge has an article that says that Minnesota is a tie and PA is a tie.

On the other side, Drudge has an article that claims that Democrats got a judge to issue an extension on early voting in Florida,

Marxist stuck at 48%. ALL polls show this when taken in totality. Romney will win 51-48 (1% other) with circa 300 EV’s, +/- 15 EV’s.

The NBC Election site social media tracker registered another bump for Romney yesterday in terms of announced candidate support online.

Whether this is realistic or not to the real vote, who knows until it happens, but right now Romney is comfortably ahead in the support metric via the Internet.

This follows several days of Obama being ahead during and after Sandy.

I hope this is a good predictor of enthusiasm and the actual vote.

As for this poll, VERY VERY VERY GLAD TO SEE INDIES SUPPORTING ROMNEY BY A BIGGER MARGIN AGAIN after seeing other polls drop that margin (including Rass before today).

Poll ping.

The latest PEW poll shows that most of the Sandy bounce was in the Northeast. A similar trend might have happened in the Ras poll. I think, at worst, NH may be a tie but the trends in the Midwest should still favor R/R.
