Aggregating the latest polls in swing states
In each of the following swing states, I looked at the ten latest polls as aggregated by HuffingtonPost. This is the source of the data that I used. The decision on whether a state is a swing state is mine, not HuffingtonPost’s. Here are the results:
Colorado (tracking 47 polls)
Obama leads in 7 polls
Romney leads in 2 polls
Tie 1
Iowa (tracking 30 polls)
Obama leads in 7 polls
Romney leads in 1 poll
Tie 2
Wisconsin (tracking 59 polls)
Obama ahead in 9 polls
Romney ahead in 0 polls
Tie 1
Nevada (tracking 37 polls)
Obama ahead in 10 polls
Romney ahead in 0 polls
New Hampshire (tracking 41 polls)
Obama ahead in 5 polls
Romney ahead in 4 polls
Tie 1
Virginia (tracking 76 polls)
Obama ahead in 4 polls
Romney ahead in 4 polls
Tie 2
Florida (tracking 92 polls)

Romney has been running ads in Minnesota. I did not count MN as a swing state. It is a Democratic state.
Bill says:
Romney runs ads in Minnesota because they bleed over into Wisconsin.
From here in Colorado, I can tell you that if I hear “I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message” or “I’m Mitt Romney and I approve this message,” I’m gonna scream.

Okay Paul – I’m probably a little slow tonight so bear with me, but this recent series of poll related posts – is this just your way of bringing the Presidential race to those of us in as safely red state? …or is there a message here that I am missing?

There is no hidden message here. I posted polling date because the polls are important, even though most of us despise them. Most people know where to look for poll results, but some don’t, and for those who do not, I post what I find interesting.

Burka, stop posting the LIBERAL BIAS, MARXIST polls, they’re lies.
Romney is going to win the election and you need to start putting polls showing Romney leading nationally.

I’m praying that liberal turnout in Cleveland gets drowned out literally in some flood or something.

Obama may be leading Wisconsin in those polls, but both campaigns are there.
