What They Told Us: Reviewing Last Week’s Key Polls

The countdown to Election Day continues. President Obama’s much-improved performance in Tuesday night’s debate seems to have stopped his downward trend in the polls but has not yet helped him regain lost ground. Republican hopes for a Senate takeover, on the other hand, are slipping away.
The daily Presidential Tracking Poll continues to show the race far too close to call, Romney has the edge in our daily Swing State survey, and the president still has a slight lead in the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College projections. 
However, seven states with 66 Electoral Votes remain in the Toss-Up category and three states have just shifted from Toss-Up to Leans Romney.— In Florida Romney’s now up by five. In North Carolina, he’s ahead by six. And, the GOP hopeful has a double digit lead in Missouri 
As for the remaining Toss-Ups, the Republican challenger is ahead by three in Virginia, while Ohio and New Hampshire remain virtual ties. Wisconsin is a two-point race – Obama 50%, Romney 48%. The president is ahead by three in Nevada. Rasmussen Reports will release new numbers out of Colorado and Iowa early next week and revisit the other Toss-Ups as well.
The closeness of the race gives rise to all kinds of Electoral College scenarios as Scott Rasmussen explains in a new radio update. President Romney, with Joe Biden as vice president? (Catch Scott’s radio updates Monday through Friday on stations across the country.)
