It turns out that Sandy is the October surprise.

It's all the one trick ponies have. There is nothing about Romney that they can brag about and the rhetoric is becoming more and more just white noise as things slowly but surely improve. Whatever is not moving quickly enough on the road to recovery lies with the ineptitude and obstruction caused by the Republicans.

And - aside from a couple of brief VERY HIGH spikes, he's well above his historical average. As the election nears he seems to be settling in at this level. Apparently investors seem fairly confident he's going to win.

Attention poll watchers: 538 site has a super table today with state by state poll results from every state assembled by several different poll watching groups. If you don't like RCP and their mix of polls, there are several others there that you can look over as well. They all come to pretty much the same results though.

Wow! Today's polls show that Rasmussen really is nothing more than a partisan poll.

RealClearPolitics - Election 2012 - Ohio: Romney vs. Obama

It's a clear outlier. I wouldn't be surprised if Rasmussen and Gravis both release polls tomorrow showing Romney up by 6 in Ohio. They're doing whatever they can to keep the narrative of "momentum" alive.

Good luck with that. Meanwhile we're drawing to the end of the political career of The One Who Talks Too Much. And whenever things have gone poorly for him, he concludes that he hasn't talked enough! He's been talking past a large fraction of the country all along--whether that fraction turns out to be 48% or 52% of voters is yet to be determined.

You have enough data to connect the dots to a convincing case for an Obama victory. But there is also data to suggest a deep conviction that change is needed has emerged. The last national election, 2010, was a shellacking--with dimensions that were totally unanticipated by the chattering classes. The echo chamber of NYTimes, Huffpost etc. may have deafened a lot of people to what might be actually going on with the electorate.
