for one thing. He has a very low, religously oriented, opinion of women. He has Queen Ann backing him up on this. W at least had Laura and Barbara grounding him on women's issues. Plus, there wasn't all those Teabaggers in Congress during Bush's time.

This explains everything that is going on with the tracking polls. This is from the Politico Poll article.

Lake downplayed the significance of national numbers this close to the election. She noted that Obama is stronger in swing states like Ohio than the national polls because Romney has run up his margin in the South. The Republican is now winning the region with 60 percent in the POLITICO poll. Obama is up with 55 percent in the Midwest and 54 percent in the West.

“You’re going to see, if this trend continues for a while, probably the national polls differing from the battleground state polls,” she said. “That raises the interesting question: could we see a situation with the popular vote going one way and the electoral vote going another?”


Obama is doing great where is matters! We WILL win this!

polls to bolster Republican enthusiasm.

The last time the poll came out, here's what Nate Silver said:


Looking at breakouts of "swing states" from national polls is just dumb when there are dozens of actual swing state polls out every week.
