Okay, I got so excited after seeing Drudge, I didn't read back a few posts. My sincere apologies for replicating a link that was already posted. But may I just say ...................
makes me wonder if Mittens will win the popular and lose the electoral
I guess it's possible but assuming the Gallup margin holds ( a big assumption) in order for Romney to win by 6 and lose the electoral he'd have to run tighter in traditional blue states but not get enough to carry them. If he wins by six one or two marginal blue states (ie PA or MI) would flip to red that would more than make up for say a loss in Ohio.
Basically if you're winning the national by 3 or more it's highly improbable you'd lose the electoral.
Bad news for Romney in today's polls. Obama is up in NV (+3 in two polls), and NH (Rass.). If these swing states go to Obama along with OH, Romney is through.
Romney is now up by 6 points with likely voters. It was four points yesterday.
