That National Journal poll is extremely interesting as far as national polls go.

Still a lot more work yet to be done. I think Robme is desperate. And I don't think his backers will just sit back and lose. They are going for the juggler.

I honestly thought that he'd eventually hash out his tax plan in an attempt to at least make it seem plausible.

But no, he instead chose to try to ride that debate's momentum for an entire month and that clearly wasn't enough. Mitt hit his ceiling in early October and people have been waiting for him to show something more.

With Obama looking (rightfully so) mighty presidential amidst Sandy, people will once again flock to him.

Nobody remembers the first debate any more except for the Fox crowd who will forever gleefully treasure that night as "evidence" that the so-called affirmative action candidate was proven to be not that sharp.

There are early signs that Obama is expanding his lead. We should know for sure by the weekend.

A small hill is more insurmountable than a big one in some circumstances.

Today's Ipsos poll is still showing only a 1 pt lead. Kinda sad. I was hoping for a bump following Sandy. Maybe, the country is so screwed up, Romney backers will not support Obama, period...That is ok. Let us just solidify. We are fine if we win by 1% in battleground states.

I think Obama will get over 300 electoral votes, and win the popular vote by over two percentage points.

When it comes down to voting, most reasonable people feel the President deserves a second term.

but since people don't read campaign statements they are all of a sudden feeling confident. The race has been shifting back to predebate numbers over the past few weeks. So really the race is stabilizing or correcting itself to what was the default for most of the campaign.

Look when people finally get a moment to step back they will realize Obama has been leading the race in EV the ENTIRE campaign.

If the job report goes down by even half a point, it will break open but, as one reader said, don't underestimate Karl Rove. We need to keep up the pressure.

I am on pins and needles about that job report. Hope Gallup unemployment report matches the Labor Dept report. Gallup needs to do at least one good job since their presidential polling has been a disaster.

"They're buying ad time." "Ads are up" "they're buying ad time."

If the polls were accurate -- Obama - 60/Romney 40. They wouldn't be buying any ad time. The media need the polls to be 50-50 -- or they lose revenue.

Never believe the polls -- even when they're in your favor.
