Princeton Election Consortium: 266 "Safe" EV for Obama, 347 if election today

I check this site daily. They now list the President with 266 safe electoral votes. A +2% in each state gives Obama a substantial 347.

Possibly of greater import, a +2% in each state for Romney and he is still stagnant at 191 to Obama's 253.

As I have been saying for a while, there is no viable path to 270 for Romney.

While it's true that sometimes Obama is up, and sometimes he is down, and while his EV number may fluctuate, the fact that Romney's has remained at 191 all year has got to be a bad sign for the GOP.
