O is ahead 49 percent to 46 percent. I can't wait for this to be over!!!!
This week, the Philadelphia Inquirer showed Obama up 6 points, Franklin & Marshall College had him up 4 points and this morning the Pittsburgh Tribune Review reported the race as tied. Nationally, most polls show the race as dead even.
Still, in Pennsylvania, it's a climb for Romney to move those final points, says Muhlenberg College pollster Chris Borick.
"When you see poll results like ours you see it's a very competitive race in Pennsylvania," Borick said. "With the polls showing Obama with a 3-6 point lead, the question remains what is the Republican recipe to erase that? even though it's on the low end that's still a challenge of hundreds of thousands of votes that Romney has to find. Can that combination emerge from better than expected performance in the Philly burbs? Possible, but not probable"

On her MSNBC show on friday, Rachel Maddow explained why past Republican candidates traveled to Pennsylvania over the last few days of their campaigns.
The reason they do this every year is because they want to be seen as super confident. They want to be seen as so confident they are expanding the map. They want to create the impression that, not only are they going to win, they’re going to win big. So they don’t even need to go to any of these so-called battleground states anymore; they’ve locked all of those up. They’ve already got the meat and potatoes; they’re going for gravy. They’re going to start going to exotic states that nobody thinks they’re going to win because they’re going to win those states, too. It’s going to be a landslide.
It’s trash talk, right? You can understand why they are doing this, but there’s no reason to pretend that it is unprecedented and there’s no reason just to write down the spin instead of checking the facts about whether their argument actually makes sense.
Checking the facts is very easy to do. Look at the polling in Pennsylvania. There have been two dozen polls in Pennsylvania since August first. Of those two dozen polls, of those 24 polls, how many does President Obama lead in? Twenty-four of the 24. Every single one.
