Obama's Unprecedented Collapse Among Catholic Voters Puts Midwest in Play

Yesterday, the Romney campaign told reporters that it expected to win at least some of the “blue states” in which it is now competing with Obama in the Midwest, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. The campaign did not give a specific reason for its optimism, but one thing these states have in common is a high proportion of Catholic voters. And Catholic voters have shifted dramatically towards Mitt Romney.

Eight Reasons Polls Showing Obama Winning Are Dead Wrong

In my opinion, and the data backs me up, there's simply no question that these pro-Obama pollsters are living on another planet if they believe Obama's going to best or come close to his 2008 turnout advantage. And yet, that's what most every poll showing Obama up assumes.

Wave: Romney Up 19 With Suburban Voters

The 2012 Presidential campaign will be decided in the tree-lined cul-de-sacs that dominate the American landscape. Rural voters are reliably Republican and urban voters are reliably Democrat.
