Both Gallup and Rasmussen fill polls have reached the same conusion. Both polls have converged to a 49 – 48 margin for Mitt Romney with 2% for some other candidate with 1% undecided. This is within the margin of error for both polls.
It must be noted that both Gallup and Rasmussen projected the final tally in 2008 to less than 1%
Jason Aldean will crisscross the country in 2013, and we finally know where his ‘Night Train’ will be traveling. The Georgia native, who revealed his first three stadium shows during a whirlwind media day last month, announced today (Nov. 5) that he’ll kick off his Night Train tour on Feb. 21 in Bossier City, La., and then hit 23 more cities before wrapping up in May. See the full list of cities below.
The “Take a Little Ride” singer will be joined on the road by soon-to-be-papa Jake Owen and the recently-married Thomas Rhett. “The thing I’m most excited about for next year is getting to add some new songs off the ‘Night Train’ album into my show,” Jason says. “As a musician, it’s great to be able to shake up the set list and think of cool ways to present these new songs in the live show. We’re already working on some cool production ideas, and we’re going to come back from the holidays ready to go. I’m a big fan of both Jake and Thomas Rhett, so it’ll be awesome to have those guys out with us.”
Jason has already had a little taste of his favorite thing about the upcoming tour — sharing new music with fans. While entertaining students at the University of Georgia for the announcement of his Sanford Stadium show, he discovered fans who already knew tracks from Night Train, not a week after the album was released. One of the night’s highlights came when fans yelled for his latest single, “The Only Way I Know,” which features Luke Bryan and Eric Church.
“I love the fact that people already know the songs!” exclaimed Jason to The Boot and other reporters at the UGA announcement. “Unfortunately, they requested a song that I haven’t played live yet, so I had to defer that one a little bit. That’s the thing, we’ve got three more shows this year, then we’re going to take a little time off. By the time we roll out next year on the big tour, we’re going to have a lot of these new songs in the show. I’m as excited to play them as they are to hear them.”
The “Take a Little Ride” singer will play 23 cities from February to May of next year, in addition to his three stadium stops: University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium (April 13), Boston’s Fenway park (July 12 and 13) and Chicago’s Wrigley Field (July 20).

JOURNEY is returning to the road and playing Ford Center on Thursday, November 8 at 7:00 p.m. Special guests Pat Benatar featuring Neil Giraldo and Loverboy will join Journey on their 2012 Tour.
The University of Evansville is proud to announce that David Ilan, director of the Nelson Glueck School of Biblical Archaeology at Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem, will be the next speaker in the 2012-13 Patricia H. Snyder Concert & Lecture Series.
Ilan’s lecture, presented in partnership with Temple Adath B’nai Israel, is titled “Recent Archaeological Discoveries in Israel and Why They Matter.†He will speak at 2 p.m. Sunday, November 11 at Temple Adath B’nai Israel, 8440 Newburgh Road in Evansville. The lecture is free and open to the public.
A native of Los Angeles, Ilan has lived in Israel since 1976.

Ilan is currently the director of excavations at Tel Dan in northern Israel.
His work at the Nelson Glueck School of Biblical Archaeology focuses on the land of Israel and the world of the Bible. His publications deal with a wide range of subjects, including northern Israel in the early Iron Age (the biblical period of the Judges), the archaeology of death, and the problem of antiquities plunder and trade.
One of his most recent publications is a chapter in the volume Household Archaeology in Ancient Israel and Beyond (Brill, 2011), co-edited by Jennie Ebeling, chair of the UE Department of Archaeology and Art History.
Made possible through an endowment from the late Patricia H. Snyder, trustee and longtime friend of the University of Evansville, the Patricia H.

IS IT TRUE November 6, 2012
IS IT TRUE that today is the day that we are going to cast the votes that will determine whether President Barack Obama will be rehired by the American people or if he will be replaced after one term with former Massachusetts Governor and businessman Mitt Romney?…all indications at this time are that this decision will be a very close one in the popular vote?…that there are conditions under which either candidate could run their elector total over 300 and claim a landslide but the reality of the situation is that this election has basically revealed just how evenly split the people of this country are between these candidates?…that if Obama wins it will be the first time that a candidate has held over a 50% share (Romney) in the Gallup tracking poll of likely voters for the two weeks leading up to the election and lost?…an Obama win will also be the first ever win other than the re-election of Franklin Roosevelt during the Great Depression where the economic statistics have been so dismal during the incumbents term?…the prospects of working with Congress are very different depending on who wins this election?
IS IT TRUE that most of us learned on Sesame Street that all spending bills start in the House of Representatives?…that it is also solidly projected that the House will stay in Republican hands by roughly the same majority that has been in control for the last two years?…this means that President Obama should he win will be faced with Congressman Paul Ryan still in charge of the House Budget?…given the case that President Obama has never ever passed a federal budget that it is a fair assumption that an Obama victory will lead to four more years of NO FEDERAL BUDGET?…it is expected that the Senate will remain in Democrat hands but without the benefit of a filibuster proof majority?…if President Obama is allowed to keep his job it is clear that he will not have a substantial majority of the people backing his policies, will be handicapped in the House of Representatives, and will be beholding to 5 or 6 blue leaning Senators to get cooperation from the Congress?…this is a perfect formula for four years of absolute gridlock and that is what we can expect in a second Obama presidency?…the other thing we can expect will be a continuation of executive fiat on items that can be done with and an EPA gone wild without restraint to continue its assault on the coal industry and the oppression of fossil fuel projects?…no matter who one likes this is not a pretty economic picture?
IS IT TRUE that a President Romney will also face strong opposition with Harry Reid still running the Senate?…Romney will in all likelihood have no problem developing a budget and getting it through the House only to run into Senator Reid who is expected to run a McConnell like opposition machine?…for getting 60 votes a President Romney will face a daunting task to assemble a cast of 14 or so blue dog Democrats to join what will be a solid Republican block of 46 or so senators?…for votes that can be done with a majority of 50 that a President Romney will have a very good probability of attracting the 4 or 5 blue dog Senators needed to reach that level?…the positive thing about both of these scenarios is that THERE WILL BE NO MORE PARTY LINE BIG PIECES OF LEGISLATION GETTING JAMMED DOWN OUR THROATS BY EITHER OF THESE CANDIDATES?…the real difference will be President Obama will pass nothing through congress and will rely on executive fiat while Romney will have to compromise with enough moderate Democrat Senators to pass things at least slightly bi-partisan?…this will be a long night and we are anxious to see the results if there are indeed results available by dawn?
IS IT TRUE that closer to home on the big issue of consolidation all indicators are that it is heading for failure?…that may not happen but if the Force for NO are indeed victorious the YES Team can take the blame for developing and promoting a plan that was so benign and without courage that it was deemed to be not worthy of adoption?…if the consolidation plan would have been bolder and less protecting of the SACRED COWS the CCO assures everyone there would have been much broader and deeper support?…that trust me, look how well we have managed the City of Evansville would not even be a good prospect for the 3rd world to embrace?…today will be a day to remember?
Dear Editor:
Rick Davis deserves another term as Treasurer. The fact that some will not support his re-election bid is not a reflection of the quality of Davis’ work or his role in the community.
In reviewing Davis’ work as Treasurer, it is undisputed that he has done an excellent job. He has reduced the budget of the office while increasing its efficiency. The efficiencies include reducing staff by nearly 8% and decreasing the cost of printing tax bills by $200,000 over his first term. He has also improved the investment strategy of the county, earning 2 million dollars in interest income, and almost doubling the notice period for receiving tax bills. Property owners have Davis to thank for the more than 30 days they now have between receiving their tax bill and it being due. Davis also embodies professionalism with a very helpful and courteous staff. There is simply no reason to change Treasurers. Davis has more than earned a second term.
As to Davis role in the community, he has a track record of which to be proud. For many years, Davis has given both his time and money to support local organizations. From National Night Out to his own neighborhood association to the Coalition of Inner City Neighborhoods, people who know Davis see him as an honest man and a champion for a variety of causes. We could all learn something about honor and determination from Davis.
As someone who is active in the community, I look for a time when performance can be placed above party. Although Democrats are squarely behind Davis, Republicans and Independents can rest assured that a vote for Davis is a vote for good government.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Brinkerhoff Riley

Unskewed Polls Explanation
To assess claims of bias in many of the 2012 polls, I have come up with these objective measurements. What follows are three models that adjust polls according to the partisan turnout of the past two elections. One adjusts the polls according to the turnout in President Obama’s election in 2008. The second uses the turnout in 2004 to calculate the adjustments. And the third averages the turnout of the previous two elections.
Since these calculations depend on the percentage of Democrats, Republicans and Independents in each survey, only polls for which partisan sampling is available are included. The three different models are provided to give readers the opportunity to make their own conclusions about the level of bias, if any, that exists in the polls of the 2012 presidential election cycle.
This project uses up to the four most recent polls for each of ten battleground states. These states are CO, FL, IA, NV, NH, NC, OH, PA, VA and WI.
*Computed from polls included on this page only. Values do not necessarily reflect EP’s official projections.
