1. All hail the South, unfettered by Sandy...

2. Also this from Newsmax Zogby

Florida: Romney 48%, Obama 47% (Newsmax/Zogby)

Ohio: Obama 50%, Romney 46% (Newsmax/Zogby)

Virginia: Obama 48%, Romney 47% (Newsmax/Zogby)

Nothing new will be coming out of Rasmussen today in regards to states due to hurricane.

7. Good Ohio numbers for Obama from Newsmax/Zogby

(+4) lead is not too bad. I don't think Nate Silver includes them in his model though, so I don't know if it will get as much attention as the Rasmussen poll yesterday.

Virginia and Florida numbers are decent as well.

3. The fact that it's only a week from election day and Romney is only (+2)

Means that there is still time for him to drop further.

Remember that Romney was (+4) in Rasmussen a few days ago.

For now he is holding his numbers stable.

4. Rasmussen Reports is based in Asbury Park, New Jersey and we were hit hard by Hurricane Sandy.

5. The way I read Rasmussen, that actually means Obama leads by 1.5 - 2%

They are consistently right leaning.

Zogby/Newsbarf state polls look pretty good for Obama.

How has Zogby been this election cycle?

6. I believe Zogby

has been right leaning. At least that is my impression anyway.

8. Zogby only started polling within the last month which made he skeptical that he had some other

agenda, particularly when teamed with NewsMax. I thought perhaps he was attempting to throw us a bone to gain some sort of legitimacy and then come in with the kill in the end when Rove's group starts tinkering with the voting machines. Heck if the Right can have conspiracy's, why can't I. At least mine wouldn't be weaved out of whole cloth and is steeped in right-wing tradition.

11. exactly, another shakey pollster w/rightie ties n/t

[TroyD]

12. What's interesting is that the Zogby polls have been pretty good for Obama

Here it is only a week from the election and Zogby is coming out with polls showing Obama ahead in OHIO and VA.

9. So Ras is going to continue his tracking polls? unlike Gallup and other trackers?

[LiberalFighter]

10. What did Rasmussen do? Double the size of Texas to inflate the numbers Ryan style?

[Democratopia]

13. Prediction: Rasmussen among most accurate pollsters on eve of election, but Romney won't be ahead
