Obama led slightly in all three of the battleground states: 49 percent to 46 percent in Florida, 49 percent to 47 percent in Wisconsin and 50 percent to 44 percent in Ohio, which was unchanged from three weeks ago. The random telephone survey was conducted Aug. 15-21 by Quinnipiac (Conn.) University, CBS News and the New York Times. The margin of error in new poll was plus or minus 2.8 percentage points in each of its three separate surveys. In earlier Quinnipiac polling results released on Aug. 1, Obama led Romney 51-45 in both Florida and Wisconsin.
Florida: Obama leads Romney, 49%-46%. Obama was leading by 6 percentage points on Aug. 1. Ohio: Obama leads Romney, 50%-44%, unchanged from Aug. 1. Wisconsin: Obama leads Romney 49%-47%. Obama had a 6-point lead Aug. 8. Ryan was tapped by Romney to be his running mate on Aug. 11. Surveys of at least 1,190 likely voters were conducted Aug. 15 through Tuesday. The margin of error in each state is +/- 2.8 percentage points.
America tried on a socialist suit and it didn't fit.

Poll: Obama vs. Romney close in 3 swing states

Where do these so called professors get their info anyway? Even FOX "news" who is clearly anti Obama says he is at least four points ahead of Romney.
And a tropical storm coming down on top of your convention really screams God is on our side.

Politico is wrong. Obama is clearly ahead. If Romney can't pull in Florida, he hasn't got a chance. We'll know more after the 'convention bumps' and the debates. The real numbers won't settle out until after those ...

It's not the Politico.
They just report the story. It's the professors who are simply looking at the presidential
elections we have had in the past. - History repeats itself -
Truth be told - no president has been re- elected with unemployment rates this high
since FDR.

I find it so very odd that people would even thinking of electing to the highest power in the land, a Mormon.
Mormons are not like most religions, they will not just keep their church and state separate principle, on the contrary. The Mormons will move into offices all across the land. A Mormon will have to put Mormons in all power positions.
The only reason a Mormon is not in the running for his VP is because he does not want people to realize, what they did in Utah will be done in the whole country.
It would be putting a CHURCH in power to run the country.

The #1 concern of Americans is the economy.
They want America to prosper.
They can't happen with Obama in the White House. We are stuck in stagnation.
Our college graduates are joining the ranks of the - underemployed -.
4 more years of stagnation ? No way. Lets put the capitalist in charge and just see
what happens.

I hope this was a joke. Even if a republican said this in a joking manner you democrats would be laughing and saying, no no they truly believe this. So I'm going to do the same.
You believe God wants Obama to win and in so doing he will destroy the convention.

Personally, I don't believe you can rely on the history books for the outcome of this election. Having Romney/Ryan is going to chase a LOT of people the other way. They have let the religion and abortion thing ruin their chances with a whole group of people I know.
Berry cautions that just because the model has worked in the past, doesn’t mean it will work this time. “As scholars and pundits well know, each election has unique elements that could lead one or more states to behave in ways in a particular election that the model is unable to correctly predict,” Berry said in a statement. Some of those factors include the timeframe of the current economic data used in the study (the data used was taken five months before the November election, but Berry and Bickers plan to update it with more current data come September) as well as tight races. States that are very close to a 50-50 split, the authors warn, can fall in an unexpected direction.
Even given the caveats near the end, this is encouraging news for supporters of Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, given that it shows a race where the raw economic data appears to favor a Republican win. Granted, the election is still months away, and given that Berry and Bickers plan to update their model later, this forecast could change.

For those who are clinging to poll numbers I recommend you look back to the Presidential Election of 1980. President Jimmy Carter was up in the polls all the way till election day. Then come election day it was a land slide for Ronald Reagan and according to the polling numbers he was not going to win.
So will history repeat? Only time will tell.
