OBAMA +3 NC, +5 WI GROVE/PNA

[Maximumnegro]

Project for New America and Grove Insight seems bent on evening out the GOP thumbs on the scale. Well I'll take it.

USAction today released two new battleground polls, one showing President Obama leading 47 to 44 percent in North Carolina and the other showing him leading 48 to 43 percent in Wisconsin.

The polls, commissioned by USAction and our partner Project New America, were conducted by Grove Insight.

These polls are the latest in a series of battleground state polls released this week. Our other polls found Obama ahead 46 to 43 percent in Colorado; 47 to 45 percent in Florida; 46 to 44 percent in Ohio and 48 to 45 percent in New Hampshire.

I'm all for fighting fire with fire. Gravis wants to go Tony Montana with a mountain of blow and a 80s cell phone to call grumpy old white men and skew let 'em. Grove seems like they are out to even the numbers or provide what the campaign is seeing on the ground (don't underestimate this - the campaign has been very clear their voter demos are being ignored).

1. RCP won't include those numbers in their aggregate

Can't have anybody muddying the narrative that Mitt has NC all sewn up.

2. But they do include Gravis, right...?

[RomneyLies]

3. Of course, and they leave out any PPP that disagrees with their narrative.

That's just how RCP rolls.

4. Here is

more information out of North Carolina from three different Polls all done in three days this week:

PPP has it 48-48 Obama versus Romney. PPP is Democratic leaning
Civitas has it 48-47 Romney. Civitas is Republican leaning
Groves partnered with Project America out today has the race at 47-43 Obama. Correction on Groves 47-44.

That is now three Polling organizations which are bipartisan now all done this week. Civitas is a Republican Pollster out of North Carolina. So what do you say, tossup? Obama is leading in early voting after over one million votes caste now by a margin of 50 to 31 percent. I just caste my vote to also for President Obama at NCCU. I saw a lot of signs for Obama on the way and none for Romney. Students right on Campus are voting also. So much for college students not voting when the site is right in the Student Union.

7. SOOO AWESOME!!!!

I think Obama will carry Wisconsin, Colorado, NH, and Ohio. Of course NC would be icing on the cake...

9. We are not going to win NC

unless women account for 60% of the vote

Pollsters assume they will account for 55%

But we have trailed in NC most of the year, only time we led was with the convention bounce

PPP has it tied but the lean DEM

10. Given the early voting stats

and the question of GOP turnout, youre going to have do better than that to make a case for losing NC.

11. No poll in a month has had Obama ahead and only 1 had it tied

12. the newly registered and newly voting Democrats in NC will be the story, not the polls

[ItsTheMediaStupid]

13. RCP has a pronounced RW lean

But thanks for being a ray of sunshine....
