The confidence of Dick Morris in a Romney landslide has been shaken this afternoon!
Just posted by Taegan Goddard on Political Wire:
November 02, 2012
Dick Morris, who just days ago predicted a landslide for Mitt Romney, may be wavering.
"With that caution in mind, a danger signal comes from the latest Rasmussen Poll reflecting a two point gain for Obama. Whereas before the storm, Rasmussen showed Romney two ahead, he now has the race tied at 48-48. That is troublesome.
"And, in Pennsylvania, Romney led on Wednesday night by two points but on Thursday night's polling, he was tied. We have also seem slippage for Romney in Michigan."
"More troubling, Rasmussen shows a two point gain for Obama in job approval rising from 48% to 50% in the current poll."

(4,551 posts)The point is that he and other right-wingers were relying on only Rasmussen polls, so seeing Rasmussen drop Romney's leads/gains today has shaken them.

You can be guaranteed if they had a poll with RMoney ahead in PA, they would have rushed its publication and timed it for the Romney bluff announcement.

(68,868 posts)Romney is currently leading in every state McCain carried plus: Indiana, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Nevada, North Carolina, and Colorado. If he carries these states, hell have 228 electoral votes of the 270 he needs to win.
To win the election, Romney would then have to carry Florida where he trails by two points, and either Virginia (behind by two) or Ohio where hes down by only one.
