So this presumptuous little fellow made his grand sweeping pronouncement while interviewing with none other than the grand master bloviator himself, Bill O'Reilly. Here is the transcript in full:

O'Reilly: [Asks a question about other states, such as Pennsylvania, Iowa, Nevada, etc]

Paleologos: ...I think In places like North Carolina, Florida, Virginia - we've already painted those red. We're not polling any of those states again. We're focusing on the remaining states--

O'Reilly: That's interesting. Let me stop you there. So you're convinced - your polling ageny is convinced - that Florida, North Carolina, and Virginia are going to go for Romney?

Paleologos: That's right, and here's why. Before the debate the Suffolk Poll had Obama winning 46-43 in the head to head number - a poor place to be for a couple of reasons. Number 1, his ballot test, his head to head number, was under 47 before the debate. And it's very difficult when you have the known quantity, the incumbent, to claw your way up to 50. So that was a very very poor place for him to be. And so we're looking at this polling data not only in Florida, but in Virginia and in North Carolina, and it's overwhelming.
