Let's take a look at the electoral map to see where the race for the presidency stands right now. What's immediately clear is that Mitt Romney is a heavy underdog. If the election were held today, it would be a landslide victory for President Obama, whose campaign has tried and succeeded at defining Romney as an out of touch millionaire with a questionable record: something that is directly reflected by this polling data. Obama has made significant gains in the last couple of weeks and looks practically unbeatable today: he leads in most of the key swing states and is building momentum in others--even beginning to challenge Romney in places the GOP thought were safe. If we take out the Rasmussen poll results - whose right wing bias was uncovered in a great NY Times piece today - Obama's lead grows substantially. The real question of this election seems not to be: will Obama be reelected? - because that looks inevitable - but whether or not voters will hand his democratic party the majorities in both houses of congress that he had in the first two years of his first term, up until 2010, that worked with him to enact his legislative agenda. I'll post another video in a few weeks to see how things have changed after Romney names his Vice Presidential pick.
