So, a whole passel of swing state polling comes in with not a lot of good news for Willard “Mitt” Romney. Check out this latest from Nate Silver, specifically the subheader “Reasons to Prefer State Polls to National Polls.” Bottom line from that:
[The] advantage of relying more on state polls is that if you fail, you will tend to fail well. That is, if there really is a big difference between the Electoral College and the popular vote, the state polls will at least get the Electoral College winner right — and that’s what determines who occupies the White House.
