With less than 48 hours to go until voters cast their ballots, the presidential race is still in a dead heat, with national polls showing President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney virtually tied for the popular vote.
But the latest survey from the Pew Research Center shows Obama has an advantage over Mitt Romney when it comes to strength of voters’ support — a key indicator that has historically predicted which candidate will win the popular vote.
According to the survey, 39 percent of likely voters strongly support Obama, compared to just 33 percent of likely voters strongly support Romney. According to Pew’s data, the candidate with stronger support among voters has gone on to win the popular vote in 10 out of 12 elections since 1960.

Keep dreaming ....
There will be a winner. For sure one of them will win, of course. But it will be just by a sliver and not a 'crushing defeat'. And I doubt it'll be tomorrow. The RECOUNTS will go on and on. Whoever doesn't win will demand recounts in Ohio and such. It's too close for it not to happen.
No 'crushing defeat' for anyone. Just a slim victory win.
Not exactly a 'mandate' from the public.

First, Romney is on top, and then Obama, and they switch back and forth and create nothing more than an illusion of certainty. The country is scrutinizing it so closely. It's polls, polls, endless polls.
Is it like this for every election, or is it a new phenomenon?

It has been all about this election since the last election, the most Obama did while in office was run for 2012.
