DailyKos/PPP - National - Romney up 4

[Skill and Chance]

OK... this one REALLY has me confused....

Amo ng those who have already voted...

Obama 60
Romney 31
Undecided 9

How the %^%$! can somebody who has already voted be "undecided"  WTF??

Because people think already voted = already requested an absentee ballot.  The same thing is showing up in other surveys.

Whites are fleeing the Democratic party!

Whites

Romney 60
Obama 37

Whatever. 

The fact that the topline is still close with that margin should positively terrify your crowd.  The Dems are a couple cycles away from being able to win nationally with only the 25-30% of this group that self-IDs as liberal.

Hmm? An incumbent President Romney will simply cut his 2016 opponent down to 30% of whites. The strategy is quite obvious.

30% is right around the absolute floor based on liberal/progressive self-ID.  Those people aren't gettable for any R running right of Teddy Roosevelt.  Even 30% will be enough by 2020 if Dems focus on turning out a very diverse electorate.  Barring an ideal set of circumstances for a rural swing left, future Dems should focus on turnout.
