    Too bad CO, NC, VA, and FL still isn't enough for Romney to win. Otherwise this news would actually matter.

    Those 4 states would put Romney at 257.

    Ohio would put him over the top at 275. Romney may also end up winning New Hampshire.

    Oddly, you posted Suffolk University did something somehow wrong by announcing they weren't going to poll in NC, VA, and FLA anymore (looks like they were right).

    Romney's ahead in those four states.

    Obama's up 2.2 in Ohio. He was up 5.5 two weeks ago.

    Heh. Only another 20 days or so until we hear how the voting machines in Ohio were rigged, etc etc. Giant Liberal Conspiracy, LLC strikes again!

    RCP average CA: Obama +17
    RCP average VA: Obama +0.8

    Kind of a fundamental difference between calling CA for Obama and calling VA for Romney at this point.

    Trends in polls only matter when they are going your way. Otherwise, they are "skewed".

    They are skewed, and they're still for Romney.

    http://www.sacbee.com/2012/10/16/4916387/new-mirror-image-gallup-poll-shows.html

    A new poll (using Gallups' party affiliation in Virginia) reveals that Romney now holds a commanding 11 point advantage over President Obama (54% to 43%) according to Kimball Political Consulting. The earlier Gallup poll revealed that Virginia's demographics are 35% Republican, 34% Democrat and 30% Independent.



    As for trends:

    Polls moved (for Romney) +1 in rasmussen (10/4 and 10/11)
    +3 NBC/WSJ/Marist
    +3 ARG
    (that's recent poll vs. last poll by the same pollster)

    According to a McLaughlin & Associates poll that had an R+.02 sample, Romney leads Obama in Virginia 51%-44%.

    Among independents, Romney beats Obama by 11 points, 50%-39%.

    If these numbers hold for Romney, Romney could be free to expand the electoral map and more aggressively make plays for states like Michigan and Pennsylvania that were considered "reaches" just two weeks ago.

    (My note: seems Obama campaign is defending the map as if Romney is indeed free to expand the electoral map and make plays for states considered reaches)
