◼ Election Monitor: 5 Days to Go and Trend Model Says Romney Wins Popular Vote - Steve Lombardo/Huffington Post
"Romney has more than a 10-point lead among Independents nationally and in most key swing states. Our average of national polls fielded over the last two weeks shows Romney with a 14-point lead among Independents. For context, that's a full six points better than Obama's eight-point advantage over McCain in 2008. The Ohio poll average shows Romney with an eight-point lead among Independents."
