In other news, today’s Quinnipiac/New York Times poll shows President Obama up by 11 in Pennsylvania, 6 in Florida, and 6 in Ohio.

He also leads in Michigan, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Virginia.

Obviously this could change between now and November, but I would reiterate that Romney has to perform a near-sweep of the swing states to win. National polls showing them nearly tied are all but meaningless.

    The current TPM Electoral Scoreboard: Obama 310, Romney 191. National polls are schmuck bait.

      Especially since they’re factoring a lot of Rasmussen polls into the national average which is creating a definite skew. I saw a Rasmussen poll which had Romney ahead of Obama by 4-5 points nationally whereas the bulk of the other nationals had either tied or 1-2 points either way. Their state polls are a touch better but not by much. Bottom line is Rasmussen sucks big time.

    Ok. I’m at my Samuel L. Jackson limit. Say “Chic-Fil-A” *one* *more* *time*. I DARE you.
