What a difference a (biased) pollster makes.

From electoral-vote.com, today's map with all polls factored in:



If you take Rasmussen out of the picture:



Take Rasmussen out, and Obama jumps from 297 to 347 electoral votes. Romney drops from 212 to 191.

I wonder what it would look like if you took just-as-biased "Purple Strategies" out as well.

1. Interesting contrast!

That's why I reject Rasmussen out-of-hand. What good are biased data?

2. Surprised that NM goes from Dark Blue to Light Blue w/ Rasmussen OUT

3. K&R The NC swing is pretty major

From lean rethug to lean Dem.

4. The Iowa shift is even more significant.

From "Barely Republican" to "Leans Democratic."

5. True although NC has more than twice as many electoral votes.

Since Iowa neighbors Illinois, it seems to me that it would not be as much a toss-up due to the President's current Midwest roots.
