The latest Reuters/Ipsos tracking poll finds President Obama moving slightly ahead of Mitt Romney, as you will see below. However, Obama "maintains a larger advantage in the state-by-state battle that will determine the outcome of the election. Ipsos projects that Obama holds an edge in the most hotly contested states, including Florida, Virginia and Ohio, and is likely to win by a relatively comfortable margin of 322 electoral votes to 206 electoral votes." I wish more tracking polls released this kind of information so we can see where these leads for Romney in the other ones are coming from. We saw last week that Romney's entire lead comes from the South, where he leads Obama by 22%, while Obama lead in every other region with 52 or 53%. We have new state polls in New Hampshire, Florida, Virginia and Nevada, where it is a close race all around.

The headline is a paraphrase from a comment down below. But, I think we can all agree, Matt Denn is a Democrat's Democrat. He'll make a hell of a Governor if he wants to take that step. In the meantime he just goes around quietly kicking ass and making people remember what government should be all about. Here is a recent youtube ad he recently put out on work he's done helping families with special needs kids.

It is good to see that Mitt Romney is representative of the average GOP voter regarding knowledge of world geography. Mittens said last night that Syria is Iran's route to the sea. Interestingly though, on this planet we call Earth, Syria and Iran do not share a border. Iraq stands in the way. Further, and more importantly, Iran already has several of its own routes to the sea. It has a very long southern coastline that gives the country access to the Persian Gulf, the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean. It's northern border includes its coastline on the Caspian Sea, which, while it is an essentially landlocked inland sea, it does have canals and rivers that lead eventually to the Black Sea and then to the Mediterranean Sea. So how could Mittens make such a collassal mistake? Does he not know world geography? I thought he was a smart man? Was this just a slip of the tongue, a one time mistake?

I am separating the Polling Reports again today just because we have a large number of downballot polls for the Senate and Governor's races, coupled with our standard load of National, National Tracking and State polls. The national polls are multiplying like rabbits, and today, that have the race ranging from Obama +4, to Obama +3, to Obama +2 to Obama +1 to Tied to Romney +1, Romney +2, Romney +3, and Romney +6. Something for everyone's reality. But here is today's map:

“Well, Scott, the uncommitted voters in our survey - immediately after the debate was over - gave a clear victory to President Obama this evening.” A CBS News poll of undecided voters favored Obama, 53% to 23%. Mitt Romney once again came in third, behind Tied, at 24%. A CNN instant poll of registered voters that violently oversampled Republicans found President Obama still won, 48% to 40%. A Public Policy Polling survey of swing state voters also came out in favor of the president, 53% to 42%. To put in perspective this polling, consider the results of the polls after the first debate, considered to be a blowout even by us liberals in favor of Mitt Romney. Then, the the CBS poll of undecided voters taken immediately after the event showed the Republican winning the debate by 24 points. Last night it is Obama won by 30. Now let's see our "liberal" lamestream mainstream whateverstream media fellate him now as they did Mitt Romney after the First Debate. Come inside for more reaction.

This is a breath of fresh air. Matt Stopera, of Buzzfeed, asked 25 college students at Lynn University to say one nice thing about the person they're voting against.
