Romney Gains on Karl Rove's Electoral Map

Click to enlarge Seven states changed status since last week's map, with four moving in Mitt Romney's direction and only three moving toward Barack Obama. Mr. Romney saw Georgia move from "lean" to "safe" Romney, New Hampshire change from "lean" Obama to "toss up," and New Mexico and Pennsylvania both shift from "safe" to "lean" Obama. Mr. Obama saw Oregon shift from "lean" to "safe" Obama, Wisconsin change from "toss up" to "lean" Obama, and Arizona move from "safe" Romney to "lean" Romney. For all the bad news we have been hearing about the Romney campaign this is the first map since August that Obama has lost electoral votes while Romney increased his votes.
