1. It was tied last time CBS did their poll.

Obama's approval rating is 50% in this poll, which is very good news.

2. Approval is also 50% in the ABC Poll

Only difference is they have Romney (+1) for some reason.

3. I think it is pretty much tied nationally.

The polls except for Rand and Gallup keep showing leads for Romney and Obama that don't exceed 2 points. So we bounce around the margin of error in these tracking polls. The south could be leading a lot of Romney being tied, ahead or slightly behind. Obama being ahead in the other three regions in many polls is very good.

Definitely comes down to early voting and the GOTV effort on election day in the swing states.

5. I must say. I never thought Mittens would run that close in a National Election

Baffling.

6. Obama's approval will be in the high 50's this weekend if he keeps up his strong leadership during

This crisis and he will get some more independents and undecided voters to slide his way. Especially if Romney keeps giving the media the silent treatment, which is really creepy behavior for a Presidential candidate.

7. The October Surprise

O is peaking at just the right time.

8. Will RCP ignore this one, too?

I noticed they didn't use the PPP or Reuters polls showing Obama ahead this week
