I'm curious as to why Nate didn't include today's PPP Iowa poll in the update. The last PPP poll he has in the model is the one that had Romney up by 1. Maybe he didn't see that one. Wonder if it would've altered the percentage any.

Over at Princeton, Sam Wang is now updating five times a day. Every update today has shown Obama with 290 EV and Romney with 248. However, in the last update, Obama's meta-margin suddenly dropped from +1.81 to +1.46 -- about a 20% drop in his re-election chances. From what I've seen, I didn't notice any late-arriving poll data that would explain such a drop. ???

And spread your defeatist gloom
Somewhere else.

In your case, I'd suggest something easy on the nerves.
