Obama inexplicably down to 72.9% on fivethirtyeight. Really?

[nolabear]

I mean, Really? What on EARTH did Willard accomplish today? Happily Nowcast is still over 75%.

1. Is Anonymous watching their servers too? Hope Anonymous is not under water.

2. Read on DU that it was the Rasmussen poll in Ohio

In other words not to worry

[BainsBane]

3. probably has to do with national polls

and the one that has Ohio tied. Those are still good odds.

FYI: The Obama campaign seems to be taking MN seriously now. Clinton is coming tomorrow and we have Obama ads running. I got a call from an agitated state Obama official asking me to recruit some more volunteers.

8. That last bit isn't a good sign...

The ads I can understand, since they'd be hitting parts of Wisconsin as well, but the "agitated" official seeking volunteers suggests to me that the campaign has seen something in their internal polling that worries them.

[BainsBane]

11. That's what I thought

Hopefully I misread him. But I have recruited a few ,more volunteers for this weekend.
Also the fact that Clinton is coming says they are concerned. They could send him to WI, Iowa, or Nevada--all out of harm's way of the hurricane.

4. still, 72% seems pretty comfortable and optimistic to me

Sure, it would be nice to see it at 100%, but I'll take 72.

[nolabear]

5. Oh yeah I'm still confident but it strikes me as ridiculous. Mitt's done nothing for a bump.

Maybe I'm just cranky.

[JB126]

6. I noticed that on yesterday's Rand poll too

Why the tiny Mitt bump when our Prez is working so hard with Sandy? I dont get it, so I'm ignoring it.

7. 3 polls: OH +2 R, FL +1 R, CO +1 R

9. Probably due to the impact of the storm on voter turn out in predominantly blue states,

not anything in particular that Mitt did.

[pointsoflight]

10. Mainly due to the Ras poll of OH, showing R+2

12. Chill

13. .

14. It's wait-and-see on how the storm is handled

I would guess.
