Please remember this very important aspect of the National Pres Polls

The national polls really are meaningless because we have an electoral college, not a popular vote. Romney may have emboldened righties and maybe a few indies but if those people were already in mostly red states like Texas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Wyoming, etc. it doesn't really matter. It also doesn't matter if the people who might have been emboldened to vote Romney are in California, Massachusetts, Hawaii, etc.

The only thing that matters are the 9 or swing states. The polls of those states are KEY to the "WIN." Some recent data from Ohio is VERY important. It also looks like Wisconsin and Colorado are going to route of Obama.
