New Public Policy Polling surveys in Wisconsin and Iowa, conducted on behalf of Health Care for America Now, find Barack Obama leading by 5 points in each state. In Iowa the spread is 50/45, representing a 3 point increase in Obama’s advantage compared to a week ago. In Wisconsin he’s at 51% to Mitt Romney’s 46%, almost identical to 51/45 on the previous poll.

3. Didn't know these polls were coming out today!

It's looking good.

I'm becoming more willing to call this election for Obama than I was earlier in the week.

5. Great news!

6. Yee-hah!

7. Happy dance, bouncing up and down!

8. Good Polling Day

Good news abounds today. I wonder if there is any historical data that would show if it is typical for polls to move like this as election day gets nearer. Could it be the positive press from POTUS handling of Sandy?

13. Probably too soon for Sandy to be having much of an effect in the polls

Nate Silver said on Piers Morgan last night that it won't be until Thursday or Friday that we see polls conducted mainly after Sandy.

24. Thanks for the info

So, we could expect these numbers to go higher base on the contrast between Romney and the Prresident during this crisis. At least, I hope so.

9. Oh the look on Joe S.'s face- priceless.....

Especially when Iowa was announced! hehehehe Oh and David Axelrod said he will shave off his mustache on Morning Joe the day after the election if Barack loses Michigan, Minnesota or Pennsylvania (think that was the three).

[blazeKing]

11. OH + WI + IA =

A very bad night for the pukes

[bushisanidiot]

21. Poor Joe. All that crowing about the Des Moines Register endorsement just makes him look stupid now.

HAHAHA!

[outsideworld]

10. Hell fucking yeah .. Woohooo

[TroyD]

12. One small downside to the way these polls were done:

They were conducted on behalf of Health Care for America Now, which means RCP won't include them in its polling averages, and so they won't get reported as normal polls. That can affect the averages for these states and the media narrative.

Not sure why PPP is doing all this polling for Health Care for America Now. Wish they would just do their polls the normal way until after the election.

14. Media narrative won't mean shit if he's up by 5-6+ points.

These states are in the bag for Obama.

15. How on earth could that be, people were freaking out about that DMR endorsement last week. n/t

[helpisontheway]

18. Fineman must be in a state of depression after he said Barack lost Iowa because of

the newspaper endorsement. Even if some people changed their mind based upon what they read, it would be hard to erase 5%. Plus David Axelrod said that by election day 50% of the voters in Iowa will have already voted.

16. Combine this with the CBS/NYT polls released ths morning and its looking like a landslide, again.

Get 'er done!

17. How good is PPP track record?

They are Democratic pollsters. Not trying to throw cold water on the results, but I don't want to be caught in the same groupthink box as the Republicans. Since the methodology is the same as the earlier PPP polls, it is good to see the Des Moines Register Romney endorsement has not made a difference.

[helpisontheway]

19. Joe S. just said that some people consider it democratic leaning but he said it was a good poll!nt

[BeyondGeography]

20. Des Moines Register endorsement really left a mark

on Gannett.

22. It's All Coming Together Now

O 2012

25. Celebrating good poll news
