I'm expecting tied to a narrow Romney lead - no way are they lost though, there's time, there's been strong early voting and we know there's an excellent ground game.

Ohio: SurveyUSA Obama +3
Michigan: LE&A/Denno Research Obama +3
Minnesota: KSTP/SurveyUSA Obama +10
Coloradao: PPP Obama +3
Connecticut: Hartford Courant/UConn Obama +14

Those are great numbers all things considered.

14. Gotta Hold Wisconsin

If we lose the Badger state then the math gets alot tougher. I think we can afford to lose Iowa, as long as we can win Neveda. Ohio is the key, but losing Wisconsin would be tough to swallow, especially after al lthe Scott Walker bullcrap. Im wondering if the polls were taken before the 2nd debate or after the debate, as this may make a huge difference.

Many have voted already. Do the current polls include people that have voted or those who are yet to vote?

Obama is ahead in recent Iowa polling, so I would assume he maintains that lead. If he does, he will likely win the state.

It was also smart of Obama to do a call out to Iowa's wind power during the 2nd Presidential debate this week.
