I hate to sound panicky, but it seems like, when the results will be good news for progressives, they'll drop a few hints of PPPPolls. Has anyone heard anything like that today?

Obama doesn't need to win either state but hopefully he can make Romney spend time and resources there that could be spent somewhere else. Florida had a +5 Republican lean in 08. While Obama was winning the popular vote nationwide by seven percent he was only winning the popular vote in Florida by 2%. In Virginia there was no lean.

I was feeling better yesterday since it seemed like things were turning around a bit.

I try not to take the polls too seriously but I'm not going to jump on some conspiracy theory bandwagon when they don't go our way.

I just hope the passionate and forceful Obama shows up for the next debate.

They dropped hints early about their OH being way closer than their last one ... implying Romney was doing much better. So, I don't think they just drop good news hints. I've seen some bad news ones too.

I'm guessing we'll see something like +5 Romney in Florida, +2 in VA.

I would think we're nearing the point at which Florida is quietly scrubbed off of Obama's list. It's naturally a very conservative place, and for whatever reason a lot of seniors seem to think Republicans are the people to keep Medicare & SS's flame burning.

If Florida shows a two point Romney lead or either are tied, the GOP are in trouble if Obama brings his A game to the debate.

I was obama I would really try hard for one of those states. If Romney takes both that leaves the door open if he is able to sneak by in OH or WI that would then leave it to CO, NV, NH, IO. most all of the polls show wisconsin show it within 2 or 3 points and they have been trending more republican. win VA and you dont have to worry about that.

Is not in the bag for Romney. They are pretty accurate. Usually people argue including nate silver say them have a Democratic bias +3.1 However I dont buy it.

FL voted for Rick Scott two years ago. Remarkable Obama has kept even there this long.

After all, a) Romney gained 5 points since last time, and b) with PPP's 3.1-point Democratic lean (according to Nate, of course) this is really a 4.1-point Romney lead.

Now all that has to happen is a good debate Tuesday.

The Format Favors Obama.

This election is his to win.
