Romney Plus News Today

Shed probably need about 70% of whats to come. the democrat also say, hey, maybe our voters, the energy was there to go out and vote today. maybe they were the late -- some argument like that. 70%. thats an awful steep hill to climb. but i can tell you this. first of all, this is much closer than we are accustomed to seeing in this district. second of all, the associated press, they have called this race for lesko, but i can tell you that nbc news is not prepared to call this race for debbie les...

Maybe our voters, the energy was there to go out and vote today. maybe they were the late -- some argument like that. 70%. thats an awful steep hill to climb. but i can tell you this. first of all, this is much closer than we are accustomed to seeing in this district. second of all, the associated press, they have called this race for lesko, but i can tell you that nbc news is not prepared to call this race for debbie lesko because we want to see when they start counting the vote today, how many...

Plus 21 district. this was a romney plus 25 district. a lot of people have been looking at these special elections weve had around the country for the last year and sometimes you could look at alabama and say, hey, roy moore, you know, there was the whole issue with sexual assault. it catches for all these republicans. this is as red a republican district as we have seen a special election in, and were looking at a six-point race here that might even close further. so were going to keep an eye o...

Well this did freeze the race ia place for a couple of days. but you look at polls this morning out, a new one in pennsylvania, has it tied. new hampshire, a poll there has it tied. ohio. the dispatch poll, plus two obama, within the margin of error. florida poll, miami herald has right now romney plus six. so we go into this weekend, and republicans hoping this is a replay of 1980 where ronald reagan made a late break. but reagan had started his break a little earlier. by sunday, jimmy carter k...

Margin of error. again, this is all based on polls from the last 30 days. okay. carl. what has changed since we last map? >> this map looks familiar because there are no changes in the last week. it shows obama plus lean at 225. romney plus leans at 191. 122 electoral votes in yellow state for tossup. not because we havent had polling. 13 surveys over the last week and nine states but four of the states that didnt affect the average. in the other five, while it. aed the number, it didnt affect t...

Of the three issues that pat and john are citing, we get negative ratings and the president trails governor romney, hence a negative campaign because they cant win on the issues. >> gregg: independents are breaking for mitt romney 43 to obamas 37%. what i want to point out is men are going for romney plus-14 over the president. what do you make of that? >> thats in the way. thats the reverse gender gap. republicans have been doing better for decades among men, not so well among women. these poll...

The back p and forth. what happens is you get a poll and you get a snapshot at one moment in time and indicates a trend and then of course the media establishes that as the current story line and then creates an impression and perpetuates itself. >> and also, i mean, gingrich at the bottom and all of a sudden toward the polls, do the polls mean anything a month ago. the polls are fine and the people are watching and why the news service does them. theres a limit how valuable they are for reporte...

Of republican voters dont know what way theyre going to go and thats why weve seen the back p and forth. what happens is you get a poll and you get a snapshot at one moment in time and indicates a trend and then of course the media establishes that as the current story line and then creates an impression and perpetuates itself. >> and also, i mean, gingrich at the bottom and all of a sudden toward the polls, do the polls mean anything a month ago. the polls are fine and the people are watching a...

Next governor is named nathan deal. >> ladies and gentlemen, mike huckabee is back. thank you. but this race is about more than just mike huckabee versus sarah palin. in addition to mike huckabee, nathan deal has also scored the endorsement of one newt gingrich. karen handel has also scored the endorsement of former massachusetts governor mitt romney. so its huckabee and gingrich for nathan deal versus palin and romney plus george bushs old iraq slogan for karen handel. to be clear this is not a...

President obama just said. he told "the daily shows" jon stewart in reference to the killings in libya that when four americans get killed, it is not optimal. senators john mccain and kelly ayotte are here to talk about that. first its happening again, governor mitt romney starting to see a surge from the debate. >> by the way, the new gallup poll is outs, and its rom plus seven. this is not -- it is romney plus seven. this does not yet include that seven-day rolling average. romney is 52-45 ove...
