I love Rachel but why in the hell does she only share 1 poll in each swing state.

According to her...

Ohio tied
NC tied
Obama +1 in NH
Romney +1 in Col an Fla


No other polls. Nothing from Nev or Va or Ia

Come on Rachel! You can do better!

They have a well updated list of state returns. <here>

And make a difference. Get every Democrat you know to cast a ballot.

I got conned into recording Morning Joe because of a promise of an Obama interview, which turned out be be about 60 seconds long. They kept hyping how the race was completely tied, especially in Ohio. Obviously the producers have calculated their ratings will be be higher if they can play up a tighter race. I am certainly not saying Obama has this in the bag, but to ignore a major poll is ridiculous.

she is keeping the tension up for two reasons. 1. MS NBC wants a horse race so that people will watch and therefore campaigns will continue to provide millions of $ for ads. 2. She does not want Democrats to become to comfortable and complacent and just let the other guy vote.
