Tipping Points

In some ways, we're still voting like a 50/50 nation. But in others, the numbers show a growing, accelerating pendulum swing. So watch for flipping polls. In this climate, they're beginning to look like tipping points:
- "Forty-six percent approve of the job President Barack Obama is doing while 52 percent disapprove. Those numbers are worse when it comes to Obama's handling of the economy with just 41 percent offering approval and 57 percent disapproving."
- "Rasmussen [...] shows Fiorina picking up 48% of the vote, while Boxer draws support from 47%. [...] These numbers show a slight shift from results with leaners found two weeks ago, when Boxer led Fiorina 49% to 44%."
- And a tipping point to come? "Washington Sen. Patty Murray currently leads Republican challenger Dino Rossi by five points and has just barely reached the 50-percent mark [...]. Murray leads Rossi, 50 percent to 45 percent [...]. It’s expected to be a tight campaign through November and the new DSCC poll has the contest three points closer than it was in April, when a [...] poll gave Murray an eight-point lead.
