Romney Could Win By Landslide - Dick Morris
« on: August 06, 2012, 10:30:05 AM »
Is Dick Morris being truthful or is he blowing smoke?

Sounds like a solid poll: hundreds of interviews of likely voters per state with proper weightings.

The inside scoop: in addition to leading in every state McCain won in 2008, Romney is leading in Indiana, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Nevada, North Carolina, and Colorado. States where Romney & Obama are virtually tied: Ohio, Florida, and Virginia. States where Obama is currently leading but has under 50% support: Iowa, New Mexico, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, New Jersey. Of these states, Romney gained support in nine and lost support in four.

He's right about sampling likely voters, which most polls are not doing, but I think he's wrong about a landslide.
