ROMNEY LEAPS TO LEAD IN WISCONSIN

Mitt Romney now leads President Obama for the first time in Wisconsin where the president's support has fallen to its lowest level to date. - RASMUSSEN

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Romney with 47% of the vote to Obama’s 44%. Five percent (5%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

...Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Wisconsin voters say the choice between Obama and Romney is one they are excited about, while 34% say they will simply be voting for the lesser of two evils this November. This is a higher level of enthusiasm in Wisconsin about this year’s matchup than that measured nationwide.

...Romney also leads in North Carolina and Missouri. The race is a toss-up in Iowa, Ohio, Virginia, Florida and Colorado. Obama leads in Pennsylvania.

One week after the recall election: Romney 47%, Obama 44% in Wisconsin. - Althouse
Pennsylvania in play - Mike Flynn/Breitbart

There is virtually no scenario where Obama loses Pennsylvania, but wins reelection. Although he is still the favorite to win the state, it looks like it will be a battleground in November, forcing Obama to commit resources he would rather spend in other states.
