End of the Month News

As we watch Gov. Scott purge the Florida voting lists of actual voters and the Koch Brothers vow to spend $440 million to buy America and as we wait for another awful jobs report and the Supreme Court ruling on healthcare,where are we?


www.electoral-vote.com has the race 294 EV votes for Obama and 235 for Romney with 9 tied. They project a Republican pick-up of Florida, North Carolina, and Indiana. They have Colorado tied. I throw the Colorado 9 in with Obama making him at 303. 


Huffington Post has 294 EV for Obama and 181 for Romney. Huffington Post's undecided are Colorado, Missouri, North Carolina and Florida. Again, I throw Colorado in with Obama. So both accounts basically agree on Obama's strength as we enter June.


More interesting is electoral votes projections of 50 Senate seats for Democrats and 48 for Republicans and 2 tied.


PPP surprised by its poll showing Obama one up in Missouri.


Marquette's poll which shows Scott Walker in the lead in Wisconsin shows that Obama is ahead there by eight. He won the state by double digits in 2008.


Next week's election in recall election in Wisconsin is expected to draw a turnout of around 65%. Yesterday, Scott Walker slipped and admitted he was the John Doe in the John Doe investigation. Whether this will be picked up by the media in Wisconsin is iffy.
