Today's data underscores a couple of key themes that have been in place for weeks now in the 2012 election cycle: (a) a sharp disparity between the daily tracking polls and other presidential polling; and (b) a disparity between the national presidential polling numbers and polls emanating from key battleground states.
That, and a couple of new polls in coin-flip Senate races, highlight tonight's edition of the Wrap (as more important numbers, quite frankly, are getting crunched in Indiana, North Carolina, West Virginia and Wisconsin).
Here are those numbers, including a real eye opener in the Heartland:
