What is really going on in NH? Do we have any members on the ground there, a first-hand report would be awesome.

On NH, unless they only polled the UNH campus, there is no way Obama is up by 9.  At best (for Obama) it's a tie.

This is a baffling combination of national polls---Obama's either up by as much as four or down by as much as six. If everyone's margin of error is 4% or so, then some of these polls just have bad underlying presumptions. I'm sure some math genius could confirm this.

I just polled everyone who works at my desk. Romney's a lock.

Seriously, though, that's good to hear. Care to elaborate?

I live in a very Blue corner of the state.  What I see and hear around me is 50/50.

Why does RCP include a crap poll like Zogby in their aggregate?

This just reinforces my decision not to put much stock in the polling. It's all over the map (to quote Obama).

I think Rasmussen and Gallup are the most accurate because they show my guy in the lead.

With how NH so totally flipped to the GOP just 2 years ago, I am skeptical to say the least that Obambi leads by 9 here. And unless Obambi wins NH by 9, my contempt for polls in general and the time and energy they consume will be complete.  In fact, it will equal my contempt for Obambi himself.

The real news is that Gallup's results are consistent over time and that Rasmussen is beginning to get results that look a lot like Gallup's.

There  are two weeks left. It will break in Romney's direction.

Let just pray there is spill over effect with Senate races. The polls are not looking good for balance of Power to be in Republicans favor.

PPP is doing polling for a Democrat Group Americans United for Change.

From Oct 17-19th polling they showed Obama +2.

From Oct 20-Oct22 they show Romney +2.

This is a 5 point shift to Romney in week following the 2nd Debate. Please tell me again how it was that Obama "won" the second debate?

I can never say things like that with such confidence. The first election I was old enough for was 1996, but the first one I followed closely with a rooting interest was Bush-Gore 2000. I was absolutely confident Bush was pulling away in the last week, and then it all fell apart on the final weekend, or even final day. It scarred me for life.

Shake off the gloom! Be of good cheer! Mitt Romney may have his defects (I fear that he does), but he is supremely disciplined. Bush was not.

Well, tomorrow Donald Trump is apparently going to turn Barack Obama into a sympathetic figure, so maybe we will have the equivalent of the Bush DUI charge after all...

Campaign finance laws do allow Brits and other foreigners to do campaign calls, for what it's worth.
