Amazing Polls

Today's news from state polling:

Michgan -- Romney 46, Obama 45%
Colorado -- tied at 45%
Virginia -- Obama 47%, Romney 42%
Connecticut -- Obama 50%, Romney 38%

These are surprising polls. Virginia which has a 5% Obama lead is a poll of registered voters. That means that among likely voters, the lead is probably in the 2-3% range, a figure within the margin of error. Michigan is painted blue on all the maps, so Obama is supposed to be substantially ahead there. A poll of likely voters that has Romney 1% ahead is a shock. If one listens to the Obama supporters, Colorado is supposedly out of reach for Romney because of the rising number of Hispanics in that state. And there is a tie there.

To me, however, the biggest news is the Connecticut poll. The idea that Obama can only muster 50% support here means that Obama is truly weak. Only 50% here in the heart of liberal land. Amazing!
