Yes, all of these states are within the margin of error but the polls show a decided shift towards Romney that keeps building. If you use the most current polls it's pretty clear... but who knows if this is a real trend or will adjust back in the next week. Hence my "right now" qualifier.

You're biased in your presentation of
raw polls. From 538, latest 5 polls in each state:
New Hampshire
Most recent Romney, 3/5 Romeny
Colorado
Most recent 3 Obama, 4/5 Obama
Iowa
Most recent Obama, 4/5 Obama
Virginia
Most recent Obama, 3/5 Romeny
When Nate Silver aggregates, all of these states are in Obama's column. His estimates include an estimate of uncertainty. Sure he could be off, but I doubt it is by so much that the true state of the race has all 4 of these states as most likely in Romeny's column.
