AP Nationally, the poll shows the race virtually deadlocked, with Obama holding a slight lead over Romney among likely voters, 48% to 47%. But results from Ipsos' tracking in the swing states shows Obama with an edge in several crucial battlegrounds — including Ohio, whose 18 electoral college votes are considered critical to either candidates' path to 270 electoral votes. According to the survey, Obama leads Romney among Ohio's likely voters, 48% to 46%. Obama also holds a slim lead — 47% to 46% — in Virginia, another key swing state. The poll found the race tied in Colorado and Florida at 48% and 46%, respectively. Romney has long been at a disadvantage in the electoral college. It is hard to imagine a path to victory for the Republican candidate that does not include winning Ohio. And while the race remains close — both nationally and in the swing states — a victory in the Buckeye State is looking increasingly less likely for Romney. "It's really a game of inches. It's extremely close, but things look pretty optimistic for Obama, I would say, if you do the electoral math," Ipsos pollster Julia Clark told Reuters Sunday. Poster Comment: AP But the latest survey from the Pew Research Center shows Obama has an advantage over Mitt Romney when it comes to strength of voters' support — a key indicator that has historically predicted which candidate will win the popular vote. According to the survey, 39 percent of likely voters strongly support Obama, compared to just 33 percent of likely voters strongly support Romney. According to Pew's data, the candidate with stronger support among voters has gone on to win the popular vote in 10 out of 12 elections since 1960. Check out the chart below: Pew Research Center Along those same lines, a full 80 percent of Obama voters say they are voting "for" Obama rather than "against" Romney. By comparison, 60 percent of voters say they are voting "for" Romney.
With three days to go until Election Day, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll released today shows President Barack Obama maintaining his advantage over Mitt Romney when it comes to the electoral college map.

That's a cute wristband that Bathhouse Barry is wearing..half way up his arm.
He's queerer than a three dollar bill, like Mittens.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Rmoney is the most 'limp-wristed' of the two and what is it with his little 'baby steps' when he walks? It is like he is wearing shackles... {{{chuckle}}}
It is not easy reconstructing 'molded minds'... He's tiptoeing through the tulips, like Tiny Tim?

My prediction is that one or the other of these guys is going to win,and America is going to lose.

love the pink bracelet, that kinda contradicts brian and hondo talking about what a macho guy the bamster is
Agreed Pete. Here is a Democrat last minute hit piece from Democratic Underground. President Obama has run a more competent campaign and will be the winner tomorrow. But that does not mean the American people will win in the end. Unfortunately that's not true, his campaign signs say "Repeal and Replace". It's worse than the other communists are letting on. IMO he just wants to rename it, RomneyCare.

The best that can be said is he can only serve another 4 years,and Rombama might have had 8.

Ask around the black community and they'll tell you...the President has a case of the skinnys.
It would seem, Mike, that we agree on this...
Flying unicorns If you ... don't use exclamation points --- you should't be typeing ! Commas - semicolons - question marks are for girlie boys !
Going to need the Senate to get ANYTHING done...
