How does it feell to know that Romney who last week had less than a 30% chance of winning this election is now down to less than 20%?

How does it feel to know that if you were planning to vote for Mitt Romney you would be better off not voting at all and going bowling instead?

I see it 50/50, on a prayer and a hand grenade.

How does it feel to have your guy stuck at a ceiling of 46-47% in daily polling by an established, respected pollster like Gallup? Especially when the opponent has notched 50-51-52% for a week and a half straight? Does that give you the slightest little shiver? Or did you think Obama can win the Electoral College Vote with 47% of the popular vote?

I'd say the election is close to 60/40. You've got to give the incumbent the advantage, but honestly, its all guessing until 11/7.

Fox News is calling it 50/50.
I'm seeing that President Obama has a five point lead in Ohio.
I'm seeing that President Obama has a four point lead in Nevad.
I'm seeing that Predient Obama has a four point lead in Iowa.
I'm seeing that President Obama is now leading in Florida, Virginia, and North Carolina.

There is no 50/50. There never was.

As long as it is not zero I see no reason to give up. It is never a waste of time to vote. IF Obama happens to win I want to make sure he knows there is no mandate for him or his policies.

I'm seeing a whole lot of BS. Ok genius to paraphrase your comments from a previous thread, what nefarious source are you using? What's good for the goose is good for the gander, etc, etc. Actually sounds like you are looking at a crystal ball.

Investors poll is giving it about a 60/40 split for Obama, and they've been right in the last, oh, 5 Presidential elections.

I'm sure the OP is going with Nate Silver, who again, got 49/50 states right in the last Presidential election, and was about 85% right in the 2010 election.

I keep telling people, the national polls don't mean ****. Its about the individual states.

I'm calling it about a 60/40 split, favoring the incumbent. Its just a numbers guess, I could be very wrong, the statement of "any give Sunday" comes to mind. Except this time, it will be Tuesday.
