I got an email from Lloyd Marcus:
There’s news out from RealClearPolitics this morning. Their new Electoral College map shows that this election will likely be determined on what happens in 5 key states:
Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Ohio.
Several weeks ago all five of these states were colored “Dark Blue” – meaning that polls showed that they were solidly in Obama’s camp. Then a couple weeks ago they were all moved to “Light Blue” meaning that they were leaning towards Obama. And now, all 5 states are colored “Gray” – meaning that they are Toss-Up states which could go either way on Election Day.
These states account for 70 Electoral Votes, and if we can win 3 of these 5 states, then Barack Obama cannot win re-election.

Romney campaign on OHIO – Oct 25
http://www.mittromney.com/blog/state-ohio-presidential-campaign
Rasmussen this week showed it tied at 48%, Suffolk tied at 47%, and Angus-Reid tied at 48%.
Our view is that the race is a dead heat with Romney on an unmistakable upward track.
All the public surveys show Romney winning among Independent voters.
Looking back at the past five major statewide races in Ohio, the candidate who wins Independents has won the state

Oops, RCP is factoring in pre-3rd-debate polls. The latest one is from Rasmussen, October 24, 2012, and it’s a tie.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Ohio Voters, taken the night after the final presidential debate, shows both President Obama and Mitt Romney attracting 48% of the vote. Two percent (2%) plan to vote for some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided.

WISCONSIN @ Rasmussen … latest poll I could find, but still pre-3rd-debate.
October 19, 2012 – Obama 50% vs Romney 48% vs. Other 1%.
No undecided listed, so dunno if all these are rounded down enough to add up to the final 1% or what. Plus no 3rd debate data, so who knows.
