Bear in mind, the majority of these polls are aggregates of all polls taken over the course of this entire year.

So what can we sum up as of June 2012?

-Obama has mildly gained support in Minnesota, Texas, Tennessee, and Arizona and lost support in the remaining 33 states where polling data is available. 
-Romney has closed gaps in the previously Democratic strongholds of Michigan and Wisconsin.
-All swing states show significant Republican gains. Virginia, Colorado, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, Nevada, and Florida all look to be close races Romney will contend in, as well as newly formed battleground states like Michigan and Wisconsin.


I would suggest factoring a 2 point swing in favor of Romney in each of these polls to adjust for liberal bias. When you do that, then the race looks extremely winnable.
