Obama still holds the edge in the swing states...

[Taco John]

All this Romney momentum isn't translating into leads in swing states:

I don't know which polls are biased (if any) and which ones aren't, but the critics of the early polls always acknowledged that the professional pollsters would seek to improve the accuracy of their polls as the election approaches. There's nothing inconsistent with alleging that an early Sept. poll from firm X is biased (intended to influence rather than inform) and accepting a mid October poll from firm X as legit.

My guess is that it won't quite be that close...

God I'm sick of Ohio.

Ohio
