Presidential Polls: Romney Takes Lead In Electoral College Projection

Posted: October 19, 2012

Obama and Romney

For the first time, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is ahead in the Real Clear Politics electoral college map for the first time.

Based on a synthesis of polling data which sometimes runs behind the actual trends, RCP gives the Romney/Ryan ticket 206 electoral votes versus 201 for Obama/Biden. At least 270 electoral votes are needed to win the White House.

RCP indicates that the following states are either solid for Romney or leaning in that direction. Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas. RCP has only four states as solidly in the Obama camp, with 10 states (representing 131 electoral votes) in the toss-up category.

On a national basis, Gallup has Romney ahead 51-45 as of today among likely voters. The Washington Times indicates that Romney is doing better in the Gallup poll than any recent elected president at this point in the campaign dating back to 1976.

Separate polling data suggests that Romney is gaining in Colorado, Florida, Virginia, and other battleground or swing states including Pennsylvania.

Rasmussen today has the election tied at 48-48, but is also indicating the tomorrow’s polling may show a slight post-debate boost for Romney.

According to the Pew Research Center, Romney is ahead on favorability (whatever that means) by 50 to 49 percent over Obama. The Washington Examiner explains that “That is a stunning turnaround from March, when Obama’s favorable rating in Pew was about twice Romney’s, 55 percent to 29 percent.”

Writing in The Hill, political columnist A.B. Stoddard, generally regarded as a liberal, suggests that Democrats are whistling past the graveyard despite all the post-debate hoopla if they think the second showdown between the two candidates on Tuesday night changed the trajectory of the presidential campaign:

“President Obama is losing. So says the latest Gallup poll, and so do those swelling numbers in key states like Wisconsin, Florida, Virginia and Ohio.

“Democrats say wait, he won the second debate. They are holding their breath, hoping polls next week will show that this week’s debate brought the herky-jerk of the campaign back full swing, with Obama back to his September lead in the swing states and poised to win. But with two weeks to go, a sudden surge in voter support for a president as unpopular as this one, in an economy this weak, is simply hard to believe …

“Indeed, though President Obama was deemed the debate winner by numerous snap polls this week, the polls show just how firm Romney’s support has grown. In every poll he beat Obama by a wide margin on who is stronger on the economy.”

Who do you think will be elected president on November 6, 2102?

    Well, let's count the ways the #GOP is trying to steal this election, thus far: suppressing the vote by strict voter ID laws, only registering Republicans, throwing out Democratic registrations, Bain-owned voting machines in Ohio, votes changed and/or discarded, voter misinformation to confuse and confound, threats by major corporations' CEOs and bosses, threats of intimidation by volunteer (tea bagger groups)–I'm sure I've forgotten some things. You can check, each and every one of these accusations online. Republicans don't REALLY believe in a democratic process or Democratic Republic. They believe in a dictatorial Republic. Do you want them dictating THEIR beliefs to YOU? I don't. So, what the fuck do we do about it? That's the $64,000 question!

    How can it be, that, when polled–every group of Americans–Black, Hispanic, Gay, Women, Youth–are largely for the President in every poll, (except for white males), yet, he doesn't come out ahead in general polls? There aren't't THAT many straight, white males, anymore–are there?

  11. I can only hope that this is a true representation of what should happen on November 6th. – Go Romney/Ryan.

  12. Upon examination, close examination, there has been two healthy ways to look at the political conundrum in our country: 1) Obama can barely beat Romney, and 2) Romney can't even beat Obama.

    Dont be bitter, the country will be much better off once we boot Obama from office. 4 years ago it was "hope and change", this year it is hope for a change!!

  15. come out and vote on Nov 6 i thinkt this poll is a crock of shit for weeks he is losing and no he is winning oh pleas amercia cast your vote for your president every man and woman all abled bodies if you have early voting do it before it closes we cannot let the REPUBLICANS take control of our country we have come to far to turn back now. We are making progress its slow progress but its moving forward, dont let anyone change your mind Obama is for all people and the rich can afford to pay more tax when you make a major purchase you pay more taxes than if you just bought a soda

  16. RCP is not a right wing rag by any means. They're pretty accurate on their polling averages. I tend to lean more liberal, and support Obama, but anyone who thinks this race isn't a dead heat right now is delusional. 3 weeks ago Obama was in control, not so much today. He still has a slight lead on the map, but that's not a big as it was 3 weeks ago either, and many of the battleground states are much closer now as well.

  17. Elaine, Your an IDIOT. 4 more years of his S–T is not real. Him & Her has been on a BIG 4 year vacation. Why does she need 22 Aids to take care of her when all past 1st ladies had only 2 What a joke!

    Republicans are behind this poll! Shows just how bad they want to win! Give us a break RCP and tell the truth at least for once!

  19. What's scary is that Obama generally does better in polls than he does on election day–people say they voted for him in exit polls, but they didn't. I'm frightened, not because of this article, because of the stupidity of 1/2 the American public (they kinda sorta elected GWB twice)

    because if you say otherwise you are called a racist,but when they go into that private voting booth they are goingv to vote for the most qualified man to get us out of this finacial mess we are in and that is Mitt Rommney. Obama has given it his best shot and it has not worked he has to go.

  53. thank you for the kind words Steve. There are more of us now. let's hope and pray that this country will be saved from destructive policies of the current administration.

  54. Before you get all carried away, perhaps you should go to the Real Clear Politics link and see what the quoted article really says. It only projects Romney ahead in the Electoral College vote among those states RCP considers locked. When adding in states still in play and leaning one way or the other, RCP still projects an Obama victory.

  58. I'm a woman who staunchly supports romney and who thinks that cpmplaining about his wording to cover up the fact that he in fact hired LOTS of women and paid them good money while ignoring the fact that Candy Crawley did basically the same thing Monica Lewinsky is famous for on national televison is almost as stupid as trying to claim he disrespected a soldier by telling a beautiful story that made the man sound like the hero he was. reading all these obama supporter comments, all I can say is I haven't seen so much thinking you're winning when you're really losing since Charlie Sheen left Men.

    stevet4343 Yes–his lack of experience in getting Osama Bin Laden. giving women the recourse to sue if they are being paid less than a man for equal work, healthcare for all Americans,cutting spending, creating far more jobs than in Bush's entire administration, saving GM when nobody was lending money, standing up for our soldiers and veterans, etc., etc. I could go on forever, because I "worship" Obama so! At least I have VALID reasons for not wanting a Romney/Ryan Presidency: they would lead us into a double-dip recession with the same Bush economic policies that brought us to the brink of a depression, they would roll back womens' rights, gay rights, run the government like a Theocracy, appoint Supreme Court Justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade and, God only knows, what other disasters they would have in store for us, and they want to increase our military spending by trillions and trillions of dollars, even though the generals and the Pentagon have said it is not necessary!???!!!! And this is what sounds solid and sound to YOU?

  90. you have the mind the size of a pea. sorry – I am not a traitor to my sex nor to my country. I do not believe we will lose these rights under President Romney and Vice-President Ryan. Your opinion, not mine.

  91. I am not a traitor to my sex or my country. A country that I served in the armed forces (Navy) for 27 years and retired only to have this president errode my promised medical benifits every year while he sits in his lofty chair making $500,000 a year off my taxes. While he spends more money than we can pay back growing a bigger government so that we will continue to lose more freedoms. I could care less that he is black or white (which he is both by the way), he is killing this country. the right to abortion is the least of this country's problems.

  92. Joanne, I'm a white female, my neice is a hispanic female and we are both voting for Romney/Ryan. Why, because neither of us want to set our grandchildren and their children up to be required to learn to speak chinese. Look, this president is not helping this country. My parents didn't bail me out when I made stupid financial discisions, I had to bail myself out yet Obama sends money everywhere. the banks, the mortgage companies, the insurance companies, the auto industry and the stock market. Money we don't have. We can't afford for him to be in the whitehouse another 4 years. Obamacare has to be repealed – its a very bad program that if allowed to continue will be the first step off the cliff to socialism. Get a crip. See the writing on the wall.

  93. aac11_1999 – GWB was a true american. He didn't ask for the attack on our own soil, but he dealt with it. He was not solely responsible for the death of our soldiers, the radical extreamest in the middle east were. Would you have rather he had reacted like Clinton did when the USS Cole was bombed? Clinton did nothing, if he had, maybe 9/11 would not have happened. but we will never know will we. Stop blaming GWB for a war we didn't ask for but had no choice but to respond to.

    Wall Street Journal (everyday), CNN, Businessweek, BCN, … where do you get yours ?

  100. I sure hope that Ohio elects Romney. I have read that the military are favoring Romney. Ask ourselves Why? Everyone should ask their doctor what they think of Obama Care. I have heard that many doctors will be leaving the field of medicine because of restrictions in patient care. It's very scary.

  101. Everyone has their own beliefs, but our beliefs are ours as Romney's is his that doesn't mean I have the right to act on my beliefs at the detrement of others. Romeny has not "said" he will repeal Roe v. Wade and it's not just his choice anyway. The Presidential office is not all powerful. That why the legislative branch and Judicial branch are there.

  102. you have the mind the size of a pea. sorry – I am not a traitor to my sex nor to my country. I do not believe we will lose these rights under President Romney and Vice-President Ryan. Your opinion, not mine.

  103. Not a newspaper, that's for sure. CNN, FOX. Where did the 2 reports come from regarding Fox News? Least informed? That's a joke. At least they have people with opposing views on their show, unlike some of the other news programs. Most journalists are lefties. Go ahead and vote for Obama and if he does get re-elected, it will be interesting to see how all of you will like what he does in the next 4 years.

Go back! Its you idiots that have this country so screwed up! Ever since 2000 when the moron in chief got elected! Well he went away so now why dont you!!!!!PLEASE!!!!

  107. Clearly you have no idea how this world works, if Romney wins, he will the right to appoint new supreme judge, likely reps will retain the house and good chance they will small majority in the senate,

  108. Freakin iphone

  109. How young are you Jay? You clearly have no idea how this world works. I am past 55 and would clearly have lived and experienced more than you.

  110. Playing the age card huh? Why dont ask my grandfather about much smarter he is compare to you. What I was trying to say is the GOP will likely keep the house and win a small margin in the senate and if you have a GOP president, all the goals they pushed out in their party platform which was release during the RNC will become the truth of your dream

  111. Oh rape is also god "intended" too, heavy taste huh

  112. go back to China Jay

  113. I remember alot of Democrats voting for the Iraq war. Weren't gas prices about $1.84 when Obama took over? What are they now? Over $5 in CA. I suppose that''s Bush's fault. There are many more EPA regulations secretly imposed by Obama and he won't allow drilling in this country. O is too busy funding other countries to drill, but not us. Go ahead and vote for the dummy who never had a real job before coming out of nowhere to become the POTUS. He doesn't have a clue. Bush had his faults; at least I will admit it. You think O is perfect and he is far from it. I have yet to hear a lib ever admit their guy has faults. O will never take responsibility. It is always someone else's fault. Coverup in Benghazi…..answer the questions, Obama, you coward. The blood of those 4 men are on your hands. You can't spike the football on this one and this WILL be your downfall.

  114. Thank you for your service, Sally. I appreciate that you served our country.

  115. Low blow, Mark, about the college degree. I hope you feel like a big man. You don't know anything about me. I have owned a Day Spa and yes, I did build it and was there 80 hours a week. At least I have common sense and can see that this country is in trouble with this radical group in the White House. We only have a week to see how smart the American voters are. College students and those with degrees are voting for O again. They haven't learned a thing from the last 4 years. Now who is without logic? Also, I am one of those people who cling to my Bible and gun and proud of it. Now go crawl back under your rock.

    Debbie, you are blinded by your hate for the President of the United States. Not only are you unpatriotic, but uneducated as well. Also, you see the world as black/white and that is a shame.

    Usually a 4th grader has a myopic view as black/white. Finally, there are many, many Christians and pastors who support President Obama as well. If you are claiming to be a Christian, then you certainly are not a good testimony to the deeds of Jesus, that is for sure.

  117. No, Mark, I hate what he is doing to this country. You may be the unpatriotic one, buddy. If that is all you
    have about me being uneducated, you need to get off you elitist high horse. Like I said before….all you can do is cut down others so you can feel superior. Whoa…..not a good testimony to the deeds of Jesus? I suppose you think you are. Only the Lord knows what's in my heart….and most certainly you do not.

  118. Mark Travers
    Oct 31, 2012

    Debbie, I have read your hateful tones toward the President. And, there are millions upon millions who support the President. Why do you think the election at this point is almost 50/50 ? Your statements are non sequitur and circular in logic. When I read you statements I find myself trying to connect your premises to your argument ! LOL Whichever way the election turns out, the country will still be divided.

    Finally, the thing I find hard to understand that I was raised as a Southern Baptist church. I was always taught by our pastor that the Mormon church was an occult. They actually teach that the Mormon Church is the ONLY true church on the earth. It's bizarre that 'some' Christians are now supporting Romney who is a Bishop in the Mormon church.

    Yes, only you know what's in your heart, but your comments and acerbic comments about the President is not positive in any light.

  119. Can you tell me who divided our country? What religion is Obama?

  120. Mark Travers
    Oct 31, 2012

    Uh ? The country is very vast in its politics, religions, financial status, social mores, etc (thank God). Debbie, I sincerely have no idea what you are talking about. Regarding President Obama, he has stated he is a Christian. If you don't believe him, then that's your issue.

    I find it strange that you have not addressed the Mormon occult issue I raised above. You just keep throwing out these 'red herrings' and you are all over the map. I really, really would recommend you take some Classical logic and writing classes in at least a community college because honestly, I am not going to waste my valuable time attempting to make sense of your illogical premises and flawed conclusions.

    “I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” Gandhi

    Amen, amen.

  122. Obama attended a church in Chicago, that was anti-white and most importantly anti-American. I have lived in IL my entire life. I could care less about you trying to suggest I take logic and writing classes. You have got to be kidding. I will be voting for Romney/Ryan and you will be voting for a MUSLIM. Open your eyes….oh, wait, you are such an intellect that you can't conceive what Obama is really about. This will be my last reply also….go talk to you liberal friends. Oh, I noticed you didn't answer one of my questions about who divided this country? I think it was your great leader. He has taken us back to where we were in the 50s & 60s.

  123. Mark Travers
    Oct 31, 2012

    Debbie Bormet, you don't know if President Obama is a Christian or not just like you wrote me yesterday that "I don't know your heart". Regarding your comment that Obama is a 'Muslim", that's interesting because he states he is not, Peggy Noonan, George Will, Senator McCain, etc state he is not (all GOP leaders), etc. The Bible implores people to not give bear false witness against someone and that's exactly what you are doing. Also, the nation politically and economically speaking has been divided for about 20 years but got worse under President Bush with the 2 Wars. I think you are confusing Romney and Obama with taking us back to the 50s and 60s. It's Romney's policies that will do that.

    From looking at your photo, It appears you are in you mid-60's so I'd think you would at least be calmer and more logical in your postings. It's sad to see an older person with such hate against the President of the United States.

    Finally, here is some good news !!

    Just released POLLING DATA !!

    Barack Obama leads Mitt Romney by 5 points in the state of Ohio, while the presidential campaign is too close to call in Florida and Virginia, according to a late round of polling from Quinnipiac University, the New York Times and CBS News.

    Obama is ahead of Romney, 50 percent to 45 percent, in Ohio. That's consistent with the 4- or 5-point lead Obama has held in most public polls over the last week.

    In Florida, the race is Obama 48 percent, Romney 47 percent. The president is up 2 points in Virginia, 49 percent to Romney's 47 percent. That's also in line with other public polls we've seen showing those states pretty evenly divided, with Obama stronger in Virginia than in Florida

    http://www.politico.com/blogs/burns-haberman/?hp=bh

  124. We will be in for quite a different America if Obama gets a 2nd term. He has hung out with radicals all his life. I don't put much faith in Noonan, Will and McCain. Now YOU are preaching to me, Mark about bearing false witness. I am speaking the truth, not falsehoods. What about all the insults in previous posts from you? Wasn't very Christian of you either. So Obama hasn't racially divided the country? Where have you been?

  125. Mitt Romney pulls ahead with early voters 52% to 45% according to Gallup.

  126. Mark Travers
    Oct 31, 2012

    Debbie, the scare tactics don't work. You are not speaking the truth and you are a LIAR. You have not hard evidence to claim that the President of the United States is a 'muslim' (hey, even if here were so what!). But you continue to post false statements about the President. To me, you are not a Christian at all. Jesus would not be proud of the hate you have for a fellow human nor would he like how you bear false witness against the President who has stated in many interviews he is a Christian.

  127. Mark Travers
    Oct 31, 2012

    All,

    This morning based on recent Polling Data coming in here is the following predictions:

    1) Intrade Real Time Quotes and RCP (averages of all Polls) has President Obama projected to win the election at 65% to Romney's 35%.

    2) FiveThirtyEight has President Obama at 77% probablity of winning re-election to Romney's 22.6 %.

    Looking very good for President Obama. In fact, even Karl Rove on CNN yesterday stated that the election is way too close to call and Obama has a good 'ground game'. Yeah, the execuses are starting to roll in ….

    Cheers
    Mark

  128. Not very Christian of you, Mark, with the name calling. He is a radical Muslim. There is a difference. I stand by my comment. I will check back with you Nov. 7th. Have a good week. I forgive you for all the hateful things you said about me.

  129. Mark Travers
    Oct 31, 2012

    Debbie, again, there you go again making a statement that is just untrue. You have no facts to support that President Obama is a 'radical muslim'. I know that is your narrative and the anti-Obama folks are pushing that but it's not true. If Obama wins, good. If Romney wins, fine. But you are one hateful and uneducated person who spews forth premises that are not true and illogical. You give Christians a bad name, period.

  130. No, I think you give Christians a bad name with your insults to me, and I told you I forgive you for your hateful comments. I don't appreciate an elistist telling me I am uneducated and hateful. "Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone." You are book smart, which I am sure you are proud of. Just try not to put others down, to make yourself look superior. Have you seen the documentary 2016 about Obama? This was done in his own words taken from his books. Everyone should see it before they vote.

  131. Mark Travers
    Oct 31, 2012

    Debbie, you absolutely shock me. You attack the President of the United States. He is all our President regardless of what you think. You state he is not a Christian. You state he has been bad for the Country whereas there are millions upon millions of Americans that don't have that myopic view. You then write : Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone. So you cast your 'stones' at the President and you are pointing out that I am insulting you !!!

    LOL . Why am I not surprised you have seen the documentary 2016. This movie is a paranoid, conspiracy-theory movie funded by the anti-Obama forces.

    First of all, it's not a documentary. Second of all, many news organizations have already shot down the movie as being inaccurate in many places that D'Souza puts forth. For example, D'Souza claims in the movie that President Obama is to blame for the TARP act and that he put if before Congress. Uh ? What ? Absolutely FALSE. The TARP act was crated by the Bush Administration and SIGNED by President Bush. An outright LIE.

    Another claim is that Obama is bringing Socialsim to America. Uh, So Obama is bringing socialism to America by 2016? That would explain why Bain Capital is making bigger donations to him than to its founder Mitt Romney !!!

    Btw: Dinesh D'Souza, who when not touting conservative documentary 2016: Obama's America or being the president of upstart Manhattan Christian school King's College, was caught by evangelical news magazine World introducing a young blonde woman to attendees at an evangelical Christian conference as his fiancée—even though he was still married to his wife of 20 years ! D'Souza squired a woman at least 20 years his junior and introduced her as his fiancée and dumped his wife ! Another so-called great Christian ! Not. At least President Obama has been married to the same women for 30 years and has a strong family.

    btw: Dinesh D'Souza resigned his position as president of The King's College on October 18, 2012, after two days of meetings with the school's board of trustees. He was basically asked to leave.

  132. I don't know where to start. Believe what you want and I will do the same. We will see what happens very soon. Have you seen the movie or just going by what you read or hear?

  133. Mark Travers
    Oct 31, 2012

    Debbie, of course I don't expect you to read the facts. Yes, I saw the movie and noticed right away it was a 'hit piece" by a right-wing Director against the President. 60 Mins, CNN, etc, have all reported on the false statements made by the director in the movie. Right now, President Obama is supposed to win based on the Electoral votes. If he doesn't then that's fine too. If you studied politics, the U.S. swings back and forth (Bush to Clinton back to Bush Jr. to Obama).

    Finally, Debbie I work for a living !! You have taken much of my time this morning with your illogical nonsense. You don't work so you have much time, I don't. Enough.

  134. You do work for a living? I thought you were an occupier. I work also. Who said I didn't? You assume alot, don't you? A hit piece? If you did see the movie, it was in Obama's words. I did study politics, but that's right, you assume I am dumb. Enough of your B.S. Hopefully voters will send Obama back where he came from wherever that might be! Taking up your time? Well then quit answering me.

    Debbie, LOL I am in the top 3% bracket of income so hardly an occupier ! What a dummy you are. You are one old, hateful, and unattractive female (when I see your photoe I actually gag!). Your unstable ego just keeps screaming that you much have the last word to feel some since of control. Please get some serious counseling.

    btw: You live in a strange bubble. You need to get outside that bubble for a day to fully appreciate that millions upon millions of Americans support President Obama. If it were not so, he would not be at a current 53% approval rate. Yes, even Christians, support the President as well ! Yes, I saw that twisted movie, but if you had seen the CNN coverage, you would have seen CNN show how the Director had cut out portions of what Obama was talking about to make the President look bad. But you know, it doesn't matter what I say to you …. you love this movie and that speaks volumes of how your reality is so distorted.

    I now feel sorry for you. Based on your responses, I doubt you understand the dynamics of the political environment too.

    Now run along little doggy, run along.
