1. OH joy

[Surya Gayatri]

2. YEESSSSSS!!!!! n/t

[muriel_volestrangler]

3. Wow - those are good leads, especially in Virginia

I hope that means that he'll help a Democrat retain the Senate seat that Webb is stepping down from this year - and Sherrod Brown in Ohio.

5. Same VA poll has Kaine over Macaca, 48 to 39.

So it's good news all the way 'round.

[DCBob]

13. Wow, thats great too.

Amazing. I hope these numbers hold.

[pinto]

6. Yeah, would be good wins.

[BeyondGeography]

4. Keep on doing what you're doing there Goopers

[sarcasmo]

7. Ass kicking.

[PCIntern]

8. Rethug Spin:

polls don't mean anything...
of course if BO were trailing by 2 pts, it'd be "all over" for him.

[DCBob]

14. Rethug spin will be these polls are conducted by biased liberal media types.

They wil find some Rasmussen poll that shows Romney leading in all the swing states and that will be the only one thats accurate.

[DCBob]

9. Holy crap!

If thats real.. its over.

[MineralMan]

10. Good stuff!

Despite all the negativity, or maybe because of it, President Obama is doing well in 2012. I expect these numbers to increase in his favor, too.

[Alexander]

11. That's an improvement over Obama's 2008 victory.

He won Ohio by 5 points and Virginia by 6.

[Lawlbringer]

12. I'm interested to see

how he's doing against Paul, if only to just shut up my Paulite friends.

They were waving this Rasmussen poll that said they were neck-in-neck, with Paul possibly slightly ahead. I know that Rasmussen is biased, but I'd like something to throw in their faces.

[Robbins]

15. Polls

There are many good things here

Ohio-Voters are split on approvol for obama but more voters disapprove of the Governor than approve.Picking Rob Portman as VP
would change nothing against Obama.Brown Is ahead by 10 points.49 percent of ohio voters think the worst of the recession Is
behind us.And voters think In the next year the economy will eataher stay the same or get better.Santorum remain narroly ahead In Ohio primary.More voters atend to wait till november to vote but for those who say they plan to vote In primary slightly more 30 to 29
percent Intend to vote In Democratic Primary

Virginia-Obama has a 51 percent approvol rating.Strange thing IS Mdonnell has same approvol rating.However him as VP would
not help Romney carry Virginia.Kaine Is ahead(I always thought If Obama does well In Virginia he helps Kaine) Romney will easily win virginia.If Santorum and Gingrich were on the ballet Romney would still win.Santorum would pull ahead of Gingrich and Paul If he was on the ballet

The Tea party Is not popular In eather Ohio and Virginia.

Some will dismiss this.The new memo of MSM Is polls only matter when they say It IS close or Republicans doing well.

[aaaaaa5a]

16. Great news. But don't get cocky kid!

[Honeycombe8]

17. Looking good. There's a ways to go, yet, though. nt

[RZM]

18. Those gaps will probably close somewhat once Mitt has it locked up

But I don't see him getting to even.

[bluestateguy]

19. I hate polls, even when it's good news for my guy

But if that Ohio poll is to be believed, then Obama is doing just fine with those much cherished white working class folks.
