So, where do I sit, today?



President Obama talks with staff along the Colonnade of the White House, June 5. Pictured, clockwise from the President, are: Jennifer Palmieri, Deputy Director of Communications; Chief of Staff Jack Lew; Dan Pfeiffer, Director of Communications; Senior Advisor David Plouffe; and Press Secretary Jay Carney (Pete Souza)


. . . right here, Mr. President:


When it comes to the presidential race, a more meaningful statistic is the exit poll finding that Barack Obama led Romney by seven points, 51 to 44 percent, among recall voters. This figure should be taken with a grain of salt. It doesn’t account for those who voted absentee, a significant chunk of Tuesday’s electorate, and in general exit poll data isn’t always reliable. But it also squares with polling throughout the campaign, which consistently showed both Walker and Obama enjoying leads over their opponents.
