As some of you might quickly notice, Missouri is back on the chart! That 4.7-point Romney advantage feels big and difficult to overcome, right? Well, Romney faces equally daunting or bigger deficits in five of the remaining contested states. No one really thinks Missouri will turn Blue this year, and no one is spending money on the presidential race. So the fact that it is closer than states that Romney is spending millions in is pretty darn hilarious.
It also gives Romney another state in which he's above the 45sone of just two in this list of 10 states plus the national composite.
North Carolina, by the way, was a slight Obama lead yesterday in the composite, until a new Rasmussen poll this morning turned it Red again. As it's pretty obvious at this point, the state will come down to GOTV.
Every time I plug new numbers into this chart for this feature, I think, "Lookit that, Romney is going backwards again!" I decided to see if my perception was reality, so I compared Romney's level of support in the polling composite to what he was receiving a little over a month ago:

(3,491 posts)5. Follow up on NC registration info
Registration ends the 12th to make you eligible for early voting and voting 11-6. However, an unregistered voter can go to an early voting location from 10-18 - 11-3 and register and vote in one stop. It's called one stop absentee voting.
