Swing State Polls 2012: Race Still Extremely Close On The Eve Of Election Day
Just a day away from Election Day, President Barack Obama and former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney still find themselves in an extremely tight race for a seat in the White House. The two candidates have been partaking in some last minute campaign work in order to sway some more voters in their favor. While Obama continues to have a foothold with the women voters, Romney has managed to stay ahead with the men.
In the final days before the election, the President's strategy has seemingly been to garner the support of the industrial mid-west as he aims to pull away several insurance states from the Republican presidential hopeful's list.
Romney, who began his campaign as a clear-cut underdog, has grown into a legitimate opponent who could very well prevent Obama from gaining a second term. As of late, the former Governor has been promoting his cause in Iowa and Ohio, attempting to convince voters that Obama's track record on the economy shouldn't allow him a second stay in the Oval Office.
After midnight, the President along with the First Lady Michelle Obama are scheduled to make a return to their hometown of Chicago, which is also their campaign headquarters. The two are coming off meetings in both Wisconsin and Ohio. The President will end his election campaign in Des Moines, Iowa.
While both campaigns were confident that they would win in Tuesday's election, Obama is said to have the advantage in some of the key battleground states, which does include Ohio.
However, Romney's camp is still betting on late-breaking voters to thrust him into victory in the close political race. According to the Clarion Ledger, Romney's political director, Rich Beeson projected on Sunday that the Republican could gain more than 300 electoral votes on Election Day as he would need 270 minimum for a seat in the White House.
