This is the fifth consecutive day that Romney has been at the 50% level of support. He has enjoyed a three- or four-point edge on each of those days.
New polling shows that the race is tied in ◼ Wisconsin, a result confirmed by the fact that the Badger State is receiving visits from Obama, Romney, Paul Ryan and Joe Biden. The importance of this state in the Electoral College battle is hard to overstate. Scott Rasmussen suggests in his weekly newspaper column that ◼ Wisconsin May Be the New Ohio this year. That’s a startling result given that the president won Wisconsin by 14 points in 2008.
Romney is up two in ◼ Florida, moving that state back into the Toss-Up column. The Rasmussen Reports ◼ Electoral College projections now show the president with 237 Electoral Votes and Romney 206. The magic number needed to win the White House is 270. Eight states with 95 Electoral College votes remain Toss-ups. In addition to Florida, the battleground states are ◼ Colorado, ◼ Iowa, ◼ Nevada, ◼ New Hampshire, ◼ linkOhio, ◼ Virginia, and ◼ linkWisconsin.
