Collectively they represent 43 electoral votes. RCP aggregates and averages polls, so its moves tend to lag what may be happening on the ground. Its average also still includes some pre-presidential debate polls that have yet to cycle out. Based on their electoral history, though, we should expect that Virginia will go to the GOP and Pennsylvania will go to the Democrats. I&#8217;m not saying definitely that they will go that way, but it&#8217;s the safer way to bet at this point.]]>Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:22:06 -0400<![CDATA[Bryan Preston]]>https://pjmedia.com/bryan-preston-1/2012/10/12/electoral-college-watch-are-we-down-to-four-toss-up-states-now-n173511
