Does Obama's Lead In Swing State Polls Mean He Will Win The Election?

If you believe the polls, then you should be bracing yourself for four more years of Barack Obama as president.
The Daily Beast reports that new polls have Obama leading by a six-point margin in Ohio, as well as in Colorado, Virginia, Iowa and New Hampshire. Only two new polls show a tie in any of those states, and none show Romney in the lead.
Senior Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod even fired off a rare visceral quote: "He believes in what he's doing," Axelrod said of Obama. "He believes in what he's fighting for--you can see in the speech that he's delivering that this is coming from his loins."
More than 70 percent of voters approve of Obama's efforts with Hurricane Sandy, which became a political issue in the last week of the campaign, even though Obama said that was not his goal.

"I am not worried at this point about the impact on the election," Obama said, according to the Christian Science Monitor. "I'm worried about the impact on families, and I'm worried about the impact on our first responders. I'm worried about the impact on our economy and on transportation."
The support Obama received from Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie apparently pissed off Romney campaign aides enough for them to talk anonymously with Politico, revealing that Christie had been Romney's first choice for his vice presidential running mate.
However, not all numbers favor Obama and while the president has won over early voters, he trails Romney in support from people who will vote on Election Day.
A Virginia poll of young voters put out by Generation Opportunity, a nonprofit/nonpartisan organization geared towards speaking for young Americans, said that most young Virginians aren't happy with the president or the path of the country.
Only 35 percent of Virginians ages 18-29 polled said that today's political leaders reflect young peoples' interests, and only 26 percent said that economic policies coming out of Washington are helping them. The poll also concluded that 78 percent of young Virginians plan to vote in the presidential election.
Virginia is not a must-win for Obama, but the poll suggests a disparity between polls that show that he is winning most of the swing states and what will actually transpire on Election Day.
Obama's close to stealing Florida from Romney, who absolutely must win the state to have the slightest chance of winning the election. Polls have shown that Florida voters trust Romney more than they trust Obama to handle the economy, which is the biggest issue in the election.

Florida's currently facing the country's fourth highest unemployment rate and its seventh highest foreclosure rate, according to About.com's political page. The state has a large minority vote, especially the Latino vote, which has become increasingly split in its political leanings.
With this weedy garden of numbers painting how we view the outcome of the near-finished election, New York Times stat wiz Nate Silver made the claim Saturday, based on research, that any notion that this is still a close election serves as entertainment rather than information.
The president and Bill Clinton campaigned in New Hampshire Sunday morning. Despite its small amount of electoral votes (four), New Hampshire might prove pivotal in the outcome of the election, if Silver's prediction is untrue.
New Hampshire hasn't been bitten by the early-voting bug like some of the other swing states, which goes to Obama's disadvantage. Regardless, the president is also leading polls there.
