New WI poll by Marquette will be out later today

[Oakvale]

Yeah, game over in Wisconsin, I think.

Torie hasn't been handling this well.

Yeah, I mean, the guy's got gym and weed to keep him happy, but I'm still starting to get a little concerned for him.

True, but we're all getting mildly frazzled, maybe more so if your candidate's on the wrong side of the polls. Hopefully this election ends before we all die of anxiety attacks.

Game.  Set.  Match in the Badger state. 

I'm sure the Romney campaign is thrilled that their chances have come down to a Hail Mary in PA.

It's time for the networks to move Wisconsin out of the toss up cateogry. Case closed!

The important thing is the 51%... Obama hasn't been below 48% in Wisconsin since August. Paul Ryan might have made things closer... but he seems to have also solidified Obama's Democratic support in the state.

Of course, the Ohio polls today are even worse news for Mitt.

U. of Cinn. showing Obama at 48% and only by 2 certainly is too close for comfort.  But at the moment, I would have to think Obama has locked these states up. (IA is probably gone because Romney just can't focus there right now... he needs more bang for the buck with so little time left)

Right now OH wins it for him, VA wins it for him, FL wins it for him, or CO+NH wins it for him.  Romney should set up camp in OH and VA... and in all honesty, just pray one of NH or CO fall his way. 

Wisconsin was a nice idea a few days ago when OH might have seemed too tough a cookie to crack, but now it's looking like WI/IA are even tougher than OH.

That’s right. Ohio is our last hope.

[Vosem]

Ouch...

[Landslide Lyndon]

Angelic news!

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Either Ohio shifts fast (and a brace of other states fall just so) or four more years. That's where we are right now.

[Tender Branson]

Good polling day for Obama ...

[Torie]

And the partisan breakdown of this joyous little poll is what?  Just curious. I know, I know ... we don't need to go there again for the zillioneth time. But I want to know anyway. Thanks.

We're at a point now where Obama either wins the election or there's widespread systemic pollster error.

[Chaddyr23]

Splendid news!!!

[Eraserhead]

We're at a point now where Obama either wins the election or there's widespread systemic pollster error.

Or widespread voter suppression/other shenanigans.

[Badger]

I guess someone should give the standard "uni poll" caveat here. Not to mention they've been rather "varied" compared to other pollsters in their results (O+11 a month ago, +1 3 weeks ago, now +8).

[DemPGH]

So if the upper midwest is gone + NV (which has suddenly just dropped off the radar), Romney pretty much has to run the table with what's left, and I don't think he can do that.

But they did nail the Walker Recall and Republican Senate Primary. My home state is a weird place, it is very possible that those shifts could have happened.

[Lief 🗽]

Marquette is one of the few uni polls that's actually pretty solid.

[Seriously?]

Highly doubt it's "game over" Obama is headed to Wisconsin twice this week. Green Bay tomorrow and Milwaukee over the weekend. No way he's doing that if his internals show an 8 point lead.

[Antonio the Sixth]

WI will probably break 90% in 538 tonight. And Ohio might finally break 50% in the tipping point index.

[J. J.]

Uni poll. 

[Lief 🗽]

Uni poll. 

Good observation!

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

8%? Damn. Has the Ryan bounce worn off?

[Gass3268]

Uni poll. 

The same uni poll that nailed the Walker Recall and Thompson's primary win when all other pollsters were wrong.

[Niemeyerite]

Uni poll. 

The same uni poll that nailed the Walker Recall and Thompson's primary win when all other pollsters were wrong.

The same Uni poll Krazen [and probably J.J.] loved until they began to show Obama leading.
