Late-Deciders Breaking Hard for Romney? Romney expands the map October 31, 2012 \| 8:08 am Conn Carroll Battleground state presidential polls suggest a very close finish, but look at nearby states on the map, and national polling, and it becomes clear that late-deciding Americans are breaking hard for Romney. In poll after poll of formerly safe blue states, the Republican is closing ground on Obama, far outpacing Republican totals from 2008: In 2008, Connecticut went for Obama by 22 points. The latest Mason-Dixon poll has Obama up by just 7. In 2008, Michigan went for Obama by 17 points. The latest Detroit News poll has Obama up by just 3. In 2008, Minnesota went for Obama by 11 points. The latest Minneapolis Star Tribune poll has Obama up by just 3. In 2008, Oregon went for Obama by 16. The latest Oregonian poll has Obama up just 6. In 2008, Pennsylvania went for Obama by 10. The latest Morning Call poll has Obama up by just 3. Romney, who along with his Super PAC is making a run at some of these states, will probably not win any of them. But he doesn’t need to. The simple fact that all of them are moving in his direction shows that more and more Americans are looking for a change of leadership in the White House this election year. And if Gallup is right about the 2012 electorate looking a lot like the 2008 electorate, then Romney should win convincingly next Tuesday. washingtonexaminer.com
