As polls start to come in after the 3rd (and last) Presidential debate, more and more of them show Mitt Romney ahead by up to 5%. The RealClearPolitics average of polls show Romney with a 1.0% lead, the biggest lead he's had this year. He is also gaining in states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, while being distinctly ahead in Florida and other swing states.
And keep in mind that many of these polls are the ones that still sample far more Democrats than Republicans, though it looks likely that more Republicans will vote on Nov. 6, 2012 than Democrats, just as they did in Nov. 2010. The leads aren't huge (yet ), but they mean that if the election were held today and people voted as they responded to the polls, Romney would win.
Note for those who insist Obama won the 2nd or 3rd debates: He didn't gain any votes after any of them, and in fact continues to lose votes. What other kind of "winning" matters?
Today Romney is at +0.9% ahead. Normal fluctuations. Used to be from 0.3% to 0.7%, no it's 0.7% to 1.0%. He's maintaining his lead, and slightly drawing further ahead.
He is still 2 points down in Ohio and cannot win the presidency without Ohio. I foresee Republicans bitching about one of the last few remnants of federalism after this election.

I see it as a set up as a complaint of voter fraud.
Romney wins, great. Romney loses "Obama stole the election"

I see a lot of liberals making up things conservatives never said, announcing they said them (or even siller, will say them), and bashing them for it.
In other words, increasing liberal desperation and panic, so much that they are now venturing into mind-reading and clairvoyance to find some way to denigrate conservatives.

Show me where, I'd like to see it?
When 11 out of 15 polls show Obama with a 3 to 5 point advantage in Ohio, and a 2 point advantage in Iowa and Wisconsin, I'd say he has a better chance of winning.
The constant "national poll" arguments that are being made ignore the fact that, national votes don't mean anything.
And I have the staunch feeling you'll hear out of Republicans, if Romney loses, that Obama somehow stole the election and isn't the ligitimate President, if he wins the electoral vote, and Romney wins the popular.
