If you're wondering just how impactful Mitt Romney's historic debate victory was last week, let's quantify it.
Not only has Mitt Romney eliminated the president's 18-point lead among women, but also Romney is now leading in a large number of national polls, and closed if not completely eliminated the president's lead in battle ground states.
According to RealClearPolitics' electoral map, the president's thrashing is evident.
Since last Friday (Oct. 5), five states that were previously leaning Obama are now toss-ups.
Those states include, Michigan, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Ohio.
What's the impact of the states' status change, 68 electoral votes were just poured to the "up for grabs" pot.
The Obama/Biden ticket's lead, in one week, has now been narrowed to just 20 electoral votes, with a total of 156 up for grabs.
Wondering why the campaigns have been pouring some much energy into tonight's vice presidential debate? Romney/Ryan still have three debates and just over three weeks to convince voters that the nation can't afford another four more years of the Obama administration. |
