I imagine it's because of Obama's competent handling of the storm combined with continued good economic news. Either way Romney cannot win even if by some miracle he wins Ohio assuming the averages of all polling is correct.

Overall, 69% give the president good reviews while only 11% disapprove. 20% are unsure. This includes 89% of Democrats, 51% of Republicans, and 65% of independents who approve of the president’s handling of the super storm." Uh, yeah. Sounds like the country thinks Obama handled it as bad as Bush. :)

What I said or what you said I said, has no bearing on nothing. People are more concerned about What Obama said, then what Obama did, or Not Did as it were.

Additionally he is up by 10.2 electoral votes since 10/28. I would say that Barack should win this thing relatively easily at this point, the only way Bain has a chance is due to the fact that Barack is only up by 2.1% when it comes to popular vote. Still, it would be a huge upset for Bain to win at this point, the equivalent of cardinals beating the patriots in week 2 of the NFL.
