That's up 1.1% from his update earlier this evening.

From his Twitter account starting an hour ago:

Sorry, we missed PPP's VA poll and Rasmussen's AZ poll. Re-running tonight's numbers with those included.

Obama 73% to win w/ those polls added. Bottom line simple: Romney is trailing - slightly - in tipping point states. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com

That CO and VA are still toss-ups makes Obama's map more resilient if something goes wrong in OH. Model still bearish on him in FL, however.

8. Surprised those two additional polls moved it that much.

Have to think it's because of the PPP of VA. It shows how dramatically the picture changes if VA becomes more solidly on the blue side--gives many more paths to victory and makes a number of other states less critical.

9. I wonder if anyone has looked at the forcast of Hurricane Sandy. And the impact it might Nov 6

They are calling it the perfect storm, so what if that perfect storm has left the northeastern coast with no power on election day.
Has anyone thought of that? I also hear Sandy is picking up strength.
