Thursday brought a fairly sizeable number of state polls, and the balance of them look pretty decent for the president's chances for reelection. That is especially true, of course, when you factor in the fact that three of the state polls released this time around give Barack Obama modest leads in battleground states, despite the fact that they were conducted by Republican polling firms.
The news is not all good (that Q poll out of Virginia is a bit of a buzzkill), but on balance, I'd rather be the president than Mitt Romney, based off of this data.
On to the numbers:
