Based on what I've been reading today, Barry is still ahead in the national polls by an average of roughly 6.0 points, and has leads of some kind in enough states to give him nearly 300 electoral votes. The commentariat on the Sunday morning talk shows were fairly consistently predicting he'll win in excess of 300 votes in the Electoral College, and the Dems will get to about 57-58 Senate seats and add to their House majority.
The polls that lean conservative show the race as being closer, with Obama still leading but not by as much. The GOP storyline is that the race is "tightening." There are enough conservative-leaning polls showing Obama's lead is just outside MOE to provide the cover the Republicans need for election fraud. I don't know how they'll steal it, but I know they'll try.
In my working years I had too much on my plate to spend inordinate amounts of time worrying about elections. That changed after I retired. I lived and breathed politics in 2000 and again in 2004, and both times I got physically ill watching the Republicans get away with murder. I'm confident they'll try election fraud again since it's worked before, but Obama's position as a clear leader and the general storyline of the last three weeks will make it more difficult to pull off.
