1. Yeah!!! Good news.

It is not even close. nearly 1 million more than Bush in 2004.

[closeupready]

7. And even with such a small margin of victory,

GWB told us that he had a mandate.

[hrmjustin]

2. CNN still says it is tied.

[BlueCaliDem]

5. ROFL! eom

[winstars]

25. Those 12 hours or so here on DU when we went CNN crazy was priceless to me!!! n/t

[aaaaaa5a]

27. That was hilarious. I have never seen anything like that on message board.

It was so great, that for a while you could "google" CNN and tied and nothing came up but DU threads.

8. No clear winner

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

11. "We'll have to leave it

there."

[Tommy_Carcetti]

34. Damn, Andy Richter really cleaned it up! nt

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

3. I want that percentage down to 47.4 percent!

[BainsBane]

14. +1

[democrattotheend]

17. 47.49 would be sufficient, technically

Depending on how it gets rounded. At most, he needs to get down to 47.44 to ensure that it gets reported as 47%.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

23. Man, you sound like my dad

He actually wanted to parse this over with me as well yesterday.

[democrattotheend]

24. I used to do it for a living

Before I left DC to go to law school, I used to have a political job that involved number-crunching. Sadly, I don't have anything close to Nate Silver's skills, but I tend to get technical about this kind of thing.

[Stargleamer]

35. It's down to 47.54%

Here's a link that's more updated than the ones given: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/lv?key=0AjYj9mXElO_QdHpla01oWE1jOFZRbnhJZkZpVFNKeVE&f=true&noheader=true&gid=19

[young but wise]

6. Yay!

[oswaldactedalone]

9. Got to give it up to the Rand poll

The longer the vote count goes on, the better their results look. In '16, I'm going to give that one extra respect, unlike Gallup and Rasmussen which will be best used for comic relief.

[aaaaaa5a]

28. IBD poll is the best. It was #1 in 2004, 2008 and will look good again in 2012.

I have no idea why it isn't included in the RCP averages.

This was the first election cycle where I noticed that RCP kept out a lot of very good reliable pollsters, while including many shaky right wing numbers in their averages.


I don't view them as the go to site like I did in '08.

[My Pet Goat]

10. Gallup Tracking: R: 51 (+1) O: 45 (-1)

Dang this is the fourth day in a row Romney has been +6 in likely voters. Plus Obama's favorability slid 4 points in one day to 46. This is October. People we have a big problem. Someone please talk me down.

[SDjack]

12. Queen Ann just ordered curtains! nt

[aaaaaa5a]

26. Agreed. This is looking bleak. Ras has Romney +4 in today's tracking poll

Rasmussen has Romney +4 in their daily tracking poll.

And they are showing Romney ahead in Iowa and New Hampshire. They also released a poll yesterday showing Romney tied with Obama in Ohio.


This morning on Morning Joe, they had a poll out of Pennsylvania showing the race tied at 47%-47%. Romney's momentum is continuing. On Morning Joe today, they even said that Nate Silver's forecast was wrong.


Romney also continues to lead in the aggregate of the National polls according to RCP.

People, this is a big problem.

[MineralMan]

13. So, when is it that Mitt and Ann move into the White House?

I can never remember dates like that.

[dmr]

15. The day after never!

Thank goodness!

[SmittynMo]

16. It starts when they paint the one of their many houses white.

Thats the only way they are going to get a "white house". I'm soooooooooooo glad they're toast.

[magical thyme]

18. oooh....just -.09% to go

and Mittens becomes Candidate 47%. The irony, the irony...

[oswaldactedalone]

19. I love the smell of voter fraud

in the morning! Well done frauders!!

[defacto7]

20. K&R

[SunSeeker]

21. Awesome. Just in time for Thanksgiving with the teabagger in-laws! nt

[Cali_Democrat]

22. Romney is still surging....

...he has all the momentum

[msanthrope]

29. 8,977 to 4 million. nt

[spanone]

30. k&r...

Dave Wasserman

37. Great news but why...?

...is it taking so long to count these votes?? That is very worrisome.

[colsohlibgal]

38. Any Comments Mr. Trump?

Hard to believed it was possible, but Trump made an even bigger fool of himself on election night, failing to grasp things like time zones.
