Bad sample for Obama somewhere?

It's ridiculous that 'bad sample' (in this context) is even a relevant phrase at this point. Having tracking polls the weekend before the election is stupid.

Today hasn't been as bad of a polling day for Romney as the last few were. I think a Romney victory on Tuesday is still very conceivable if undecideds break towards him.

wow these are all over the place. Ipsos-Reuters has a democrat lean so let's keep that in mind

I think Colorado has made a final turn towards Romney. He will win that state

I don't think Virginia is Obama +3. That's kind of silly. Michael Barone has that going to Romney and I think I'll side with him. He's the one with all the contacts and being fed all the internals

Ohio...perhaps. Obama knocked down to 46%...Romney not rising either.

Their polls a D + 2.9 house effect.  This is a good poll for Romney.

The oddness of the idea that Ohio is 9% undecided or other at this point inclines me to be particularly skeptical about that.

University of Cincinnati says Obama +2 , I.m sticking with them.

The likely registered gaps just make no sense. Especially in CO, VA.

Yeah....and CO is R+4 in terms of turnout....and if Obama is still only down by 2 in that case, I think that he should be fine...especially with him behind Romney with Indies by double digits.

Still haven't come around to trusting internet polls as of yet.

Obama up 4 in Ohio now according to the article.
And Colorado tied at 48, Florida tied at 46, and Obama up one in VA,  47-46. So, with the exception of VA, more signs of movement towards Obama.
