If all you read this week were the national polls, you'd draw the conclusion that the presidential election race is a genuine coin flip. President Obama, if he has a lead at all over GOP challenger Mitt Romney, is leading by, at best, a minimal margin.
But if you looked at state polling only over the past few weeks, you'd get a very different impression. By looking at that, as Markos noted earlier this week, Mitt Romney remains a distinct underdog, and is only marginally in a better position than he was several weeks ago.
Meanwhile, down ballot, Republicans have to be concerned about the state of play in the Senate. While dreams of a GOP majority still dance in their heads, with some real justification, recent events have made that dream a bit more difficult to make into a reality.
Add to that the start of a rather busy part of the election season coming up this week, and there is plenty to talk about as we launch into May with this edition of the Weekend Digest.
