Obama maintains map edge in latest NBC News battleground map (Original Post)

OP
WI_DEM
(33,497 posts)1. New Mexico, leans dem? yesterday a poll had Obama up by 14!
CA and IL as 'likely' rather than solid dem? I also disagree. CA will not vote Romney and IL will not go against Obama, it's favorite son.
Iowa as lean GOP? I doubt that. at worse it should be toss up--as should Arizona, if recent polls are to be believed.

Deep blue states are showing huge Obama leads while Texas is down to single digits.
Ohio as leaning to Obama rather than a tossup may be generous but the rest of it is pretty solid.

(5,066 posts)4. My Honest take
Since I am not trying to claim It as close to get ratings
Ca,Ct,Il-Solid Dem.
Me,Mn,NJ,NM,Or,Mi,Wi-Likely Dem
Co,NV,OH,PA,VA-Lean Dem(Obama has a slight advantage here and leaning his direction but he will have to fight for them)
Pure tossup-Fl,NC,Az,In,IA,Mo
Lean Gop-NE(1 EV)
