    Romney Leads Among Early Voters, Similar to His Likely Voter Lead
    Thus far, early voters do not seem to be swaying the election toward either candidate.

    Romney currently leads Obama 52% to 45% among voters who say they have already cast their ballots. However, that is comparable to Romney's 51% to 46% lead among all likely voters in Gallup's Oct. 22-28 tracking polling. At the same time, the race is tied at 49% among those who have not yet voted but still intend to vote early, suggesting these voters could cause the race to tighten. However, Romney leads 51% to 45% among the much larger group of voters who plan to vote on Election Day, Nov. 6.

    I'm not good at predicting stuff, but the fact that the Dems have dispatched Bill Clinton to Minnesota, where no Republican has won since Nixon in '72, tells me 1) Minnesota is in play and 2) the President is in trouble.

    The Dems probably just want him the hell out of any important states, knowing that Willy probably isn't Obama's biggest fan right now!

    Maybe, but I like se-alum's idea, as well.

    But it does kind of fit with Romney's team saying MN is in play and buying ads there (which coincidentally have the added benefit of reaching some of WI). Thought I saw a poll showing it in play also.

    I am well aware gibby. I am just loling at you posting everything/anything you can grasp onto that shows favorable results for you. If you saw a poll on bleacherreport.com that showed favorable results for obama you would post it.

    Gibby's right it was done by the Mellman Group.

    Let's learn about what they do:
    The Mellman Group has provided sophisticated opinion research and strategic advice to political leaders, government agencies, corporations and the nation's leading public interest groups for nearly twenty-five years.
    And who are their clients?
    United States Senators:
    Leader Harry Reid
    Sen. Daniel Akaka
    Sen. Barbara Boxer
    Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell (as a Democrat)
    Sen. Maria Cantwell
    Sen. Tom Daschle
    Hardly unbiased. Apologies if there are some that are not Democrats in their client listing. Looked at a few senators and other folks in the House and Local gov't categories and they're all Democrat.

    LOL well aware. The funny thing is Gibby posts all this bullshit as if he is attempting to amputate anyone's spirit in voting on election day. Everyone can read thru his bullshit. If anything, he is going to influence people to vote against obama with how annoying he is.

    Shouldn't matter.....if Romney's kicking as much ass as you all say....even Dem pollsters should show him winning right?

    I'd not be so proud of only a 10,000 vote lead in early voting when in 2008 they showed up +8% D. Based on that link right now its 42-41 or +1% D.

    Other than Quaker Oats, who said Romney is kicking ass? I asked this in another thread, and interesting how you avoided the question.

    I'm not sure how to reply other than no, a company who consults for primarily Democrat politicians most likely would not come out saying that the leader of their clients party is losing.

    One almost wonders at this point if these polling organizations even bother to call anyone, since they appear to be aiming for a pre-determined result. Notice the big guys who care about their reputation (mainly Rasmussen and Gallup) are starting to normalize their results.

    I was just about to ask for some links to that. I posted on page 1 of this thread saying I think Romney wins the election and listed the toss up states he wins. That was a clear sign I said Romney is kicking ass and Obama should be packing up the White House. Geesh, come on Gibby.
