1. Romney-apparently to know him is not to love him.

[WI_DEM]

2. Not as huge as the Siena poll that had Obama up by 32 points yesterday

but still pretty devastating for Romney in the state he was governor.

[TroyD]

3. Obama was (+15) in the previous Ras poll

So this is a 4-point increase.

We know that Ras is probably underestimating Obama's support but it's interesting that even they are showing a decline for Romney here.

4. I Was Really Concerned About Mass

and yes , I know my concern is duly noted

[TroyD]

5. The MA polls are important not because it's a state that's in doubt but . . .

Because it can be used to show voters in other states what the people who saw him Govern think of him.
