The odds appear to be stacking up against Mitt Romney winning the 2012 presidential election on Tuesday. Among political journalists, campaign reporters and most pollsters, there's a congealing conventional wisdom that President Barack Obama is about to be re-elected.
On Sunday, we had new national polls from Pew, which put Obama up three, and NBC/Wall Street Journal, which gave him a one-point advantage. Fox, GWU/Politico and ABC/Washington Post finds a tie nationally.
Today, a poll of 36,000 Americans by British-based pollsters YouGov predicted Obama was going to win by two points, an even greater margin. But also released this morning was a daily tracking poll by Rasmussen that found Romney had pulled ahead by one point after tying yesterday.
So the cake does not yet seem to be fully baked. While it is still very uncertain, if everything goes Romney's way on election day it is possible he could achieve a victory that would go against the general trend of the polls.
