Liberals living in a bubble of their own echo chamber may end up more surprised than anyone come election night when the results come in. They continue to grab on to a lifeline of "Mitt's momentum has ended," yet polling shows quite a different story.
Via Rasmussen: The full Swing State tracking update offers Rasmussen Reader subscribers a combined view of the results from 11 key states won by President Obama in 2008 and thought to be competitive in 2012. The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
The results released today:
In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney earns 50% of the vote to Obama’s 46%. Two percent (2%) like another candidate in the race, and another two percent (2%) are undecided.
Romney has now led for 12 straight days with margins of four to six points most of that time.
Gallup's Likely Voters Trial Heat has been released also and Romney has a 5 point nationwide lead over Barack Obama, Romney's lead in Gallup polling has been sustained for over a week, averaging between 3 and 7 points. Today Romney's lead is by five.
