Iowa, Wisconsin, and Ohio Shifting in Obama's Favor

What a mess! The Republicans nominate a socialized medicine pushing, gun grabbing Republican whose record as governor of Massachusetts looks a lot like Obama's record. This is going to be written about for years once the worst president of our lifetime wins reelection in just over six weeks. The Electoral College gives Romney no room for error. This is the reality of this election.

Knowing there is no room for error, Politco reports Obama is distancing himself from Romney in critical swing states.

Politico reports:


A new round of NBC/WSJ/Marist College polls show President Obama leading Mitt Romney in three battlegrounds, hitting the 50 percent mark in all three.

In Wisconsin and Colorado, it's 50 percent to 45 percent among likely voters. In Iowa, it's 50 percent to 42 percent among likely voters.

The Iowa and Wisconsin numbers are a bit different than some internal polls on both sides, which show it much closer, and well within the margin of error. Colorado polling also hasn't been consistent in the public surveys, but this is also within the margin.

But Romney faces the same hurdle in those states as he has elsewhere - his favorable ratings are under water in all three. Obama's favorables are north of 50 percent, slightly, in all three, but his job approval is a little lower.

Romney and Obama are basically tied on who would handle the economy best, but Obama leads Romney by two points on that question in Colorado and four points in Iowa.
