Latest Presidential Election 2012 Polls: Obama Leads 19 of 22 New Polls Including in Swing States Virginia, Iowa and Colorado

Over 20 polls of voters in critical swing states were released on Friday and Saturday, and President Obama led Republican challenger Mitt Romney in all but three of them.

The lone outlier was a Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald poll in Florida that showed Romney with a 6-point lead in Florida, the widest margin he has enjoyed in the state since the last TBT poll over three weeks ago.

But in every other swing state, Romney racked up loss after loss.

In Colorado, three polls averaged to a 2-point lead for Obama, up from a solid tie after the first presidential debate.

In Virginia, two polls average to a 2-point lead for Obama.

In Iowa, two polls average to a 3-point Obama lead.

Two polls in New Hampshire give Obama an average 3-point lead.

Besides the TBT poll in Florida, two other polls show Obama leading, though by less than Romney's lead in the first poll.

Obama leads in all the polls out of Michigan and Wisconsin, but the worst news for Romney comes from Ohio.

Four polls show Obama winning in the crucial swing state, with a fifth predicting a tie, but they average to a 3-point advantage for Obama.

While no polls came out of Nevada, Pennsylvania or North Carolina, those states' preferences are well-known. Nevada and Pennsylvania will go for Obama, while North Carolina will support Romney.

A few positive polls out of North Carolina could have helped Romney's average in Friday's avalanche of data, but the trend is undeniable.

In what looks like a best-case scenario for Romney, he could take Florida, Virginia, North Carolina and New Hampshire, but that still leaves him 18 electoral votes shy of securing the presidency.

Ohio can supply those 18 votes, but his chances are fading there, and there seem to be no other options for him anywhere on the map.

Both candidates are spending their last few days crisscrossing Ohio-Obama to cement his lead, and Romney to make a last desperate attempt to turn the tide.

But the momentum is in the president's favor, and with all the news over the past week focused on the devastation wrought by Hurricane Sandy, Romney hasn't had the kind of coverage or media platform required to change that many minds.

He can't try to usurp disaster coverage for fear of seeming callous and petulant. Sandy may have drowned Romney's last hopes of winning, just like it did the Jersey Shore.
