Latest Swing State Polls

[Mojo2]

Someone may have posted this earlier, sorry if so:

Here are the latest polls from the battleground states:

Florida: Romney 48%, Obama 47% (Newsmax/Zogby)

Ohio: Obama 50%, Romney 46% (Newsmax/Zogby)

Virginia: Obama 48%, Romney 47% (Newsmax/Zogby)

Another state that has never been considered a swing state but appears close:

Oregon: Obama 47%, Romney 41% (Elway)

1. The (+4) in OHIO today is the best news

I doubt it will get as much attention as yesterday's Rasmussen poll putting Romney (+2), though.

2. While Its Good News..

Zogby really was way off last time around so I take anything of theirs with a grain of salt.

3. Yes, but in this case their swing state polls this year have been in the same ballpark

As many other pollsters.

For example, the Zogby OHIO poll is showing the same thing as CNN, TIME & PPP.

It's Rasmussen that has Romney up in OHIO.

4. Don't agree with the Oregon poll

Oregon is no more of a swing state than is Texas. I bet Obama gets 53 - 55 percent of the vote here.

5. that 41% that Romney has in Oregon is about what McCain got

My guess is that a lot of those voters will swing towards Obama by election day. Will he win by 16-points like he did in 2008, probably not but I think he'll get over a 10-point spread.

11. Well, that would be about a 6 to 8-point win.

Which is consistent with the Elway Poll.

6. Puh-lease give it a rest with these

I live in Oregon. Obama could air videos of himself murdering kittens 24 hours a day from now to election and he'd still win comfortably.

7. What about Arizona?

that's a swing state too now, no?

[BlueDemKev]

9. Not yet.

Wait about ten more years.

8. Looks good.

Ohio and Oregon are "must-wins", while Florida and Virginia would be "bonuses" if we pick them up.

Do you know what the margin of error was in the Newsmax/Zogby poll in Ohio?

10. Do you have the links?

FYI Zogby polling was bought out by a Brazilian company and anything that is associated with Newsmax is highly suspicious.

Welcome to DU.

12. Polls are looking good

Over at the 538 blog it looks like Romney has a lot of ground to make up.
