Tuesday Open Thread [4.17.12]

I thank Nemski for helping out with the open threads during the last several days. I was very busy in real life elsewhere. Do we have polls? That's a silly question. An Associated Press analysis of the presidential battleground finds Mitt Romney likely has 188 electorate votes in states that are either solidly Republican or leaning Republican while President Obama has 242 electoral votes in safe Democratic or likely Democratic states. That leaves 104 electoral votes in states that are purely tossups: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. I would give the President the edge in Colorado, Florida, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. Indeed, the only swing state I see him losing is Iowa.

DL Tracking Poll Results — Jeff Cragg (R) (Round 2)

And we're back. Republican Jeff Cragg got a little extra voting time in the spot light due to my hectic schedule. Let's see if it improved his poll standing at all. Last month, the presumptive Republican gubernatorial challenger garnered a 48% disapproval rating, a 24% "who the hell are you?" rating, and a 28% approval rating. A full month of exposure to the Delaware electorate, and an official launch of the Cragg-Valenzuela campaign has increased Cragg's disapproval rating to 51%, but also his approval rating, now at 33%. 15% are still in the dark as to who the hell he is.
