Obama's advantage is in the electoral college and Romneys had been in the popular vote. Romney would have to be up several points nationally in order to have a shot at winning 270ev. With all of these polls out in the last few days showing Obama with a 2 point or so lead, that is an absolutely bleak sign of Romney. He is probably 4-5 points off nationally from even having a hope at squeaking out a win. Its no wonder Queen Anne is crying so much.

With all of the women and minorities being so anti-Romney, how can he still have that percentage? *bangs head on keyboard*

However, look at Romney's numbers. He never gets above about 46% in the polls. His collation of people in nursing homes, racist meth dealers, and monster truck enthusiast is not enough to get him past the mid-40's.

That ould put the probability of Romney leading among the population from which the sampling is done at something less than one in a trillion. But, while this poll is more good news, how meaningful the result is depends on how accurate the likely voter screen is. That will determine what the poll actually measures.

That pretty much tells me Obama has an ever so slight momentum shift going in to Tuesday. At least for the popular vote. The state polls have shown that all along.
