if there are no public polls we use whatever data we can and forecast whether it is obama, romney, or lean either way. south carolina, for example, last poll we had is last december so we have it in toss up. it ain't going to be a toss up. and texas, which there are only old polls, it will be solid romney. but the important thing, since april 11 when romney secured the republican nomination we have done these every two weeks and the movement has been toward romney. for example, in the last two weeks, new hampshire went from lean obama, to toss up and michigan went from lean obama to toss up. so, a total of, between those two, of 21 electoral votes moving from obama to toss up. we have seen persistent movement to romney moving into a situation where romney, all he needs to do is win north carolina, virginia, ohio and florida which are battleground or leaning states and win one another: new hampshire, pennsylvania, michigan, wisconsin, colorado, nevada, new mexico, most of which are dead even states in a toss up category and he wins the white house. >>neil: you need two -- 270 electoral vote

polls are showing that everyone who is not a committed republican or leaning republican would reallyst move on from this issue. the law is still not that popular. it's about 45, 47, 48, 46 on either side, it's kind of changing and slaightly getting more popular, but the idea of moving forward is incredibly popular. and as for the republicans, i don't know if they're looking at the polls literally upside down or not, but they are much more popular than the law. if congress had a point for every time they voted to repeal obama care, they'll be 50% more popular than they are today. >> rush limbaugh today said something about mitt romney and how the party is just kind of stuck with him. and he was never a big romney supporter during the primaries. but let's listen to this, because what he's really saying is mitt romney doesn't really matter at all. >> romney better learn the election isn't about him. all i mean is, let's -- can i just be honest? among our side, the conservatives, the independents, everybody who wants drastic, significant change in this country, very few are running aroun

that leaves the race at 237 obama, either 194 obama and 43 lean obama to 172 romney or lean romney, and 129 tossup. now, i will say this. remember this map is done on the basis of policy in the last 30 days. the last poll that we have in south carolina is december, and it shows it's a tossup state. the last poll we have in texas, some number of months ago, the last poll in kentucky, tennessee and south dakota. so what we would like to do is implore a media organization, a reputable media organization in those states, particularly south carolina, spend the money on the poll and tell us what is really happening. but i think the map will actually show the race is a little bit closer, that it's probably about 110 electoral votes are up for grabs and it's roughly 237 to 190. >> let's me turn to the vice president. i'm not going to ask you who it is, i don't know if you would know it, but when would you recommend that he announce his vice presidential nominee and why? >> there are several options. i think the best one would be to wait until after the olympics so you are roughly two weeks out

lean states. that means romney now is in a position today where he has to win every single remaining tossup and get ohio orthese lean obama states to come back in his direction. that is very significant. i think the first time we have had that number since we started looking at it. except in the very early stages when obama was ahead everywhere. >> bret: when you look at the polls, karl, you start to analyze where people are spending money. obviously, the obama campaign spent a lot of money trying to portray him a certain way. the romney campaign hasn't deployed their cash yet, have they? >> no, they haven't. let me say a quick thing before we delve in money. let's be clear. these are relatively minor changes. obama's gain were average of 2.3 points in the state that changed status. romney were 5.3 points on average in the states that changed status. obama while he gained in the lean obama category, lost in the solid obama category. is now down to the lowest number since we began tracking this, 17 179 electoral votes. romney is at the high, 111. that leaves south carolina, kentucky, tennessee, south dakota

map as we see it now, 247 solid or leaning obama. 206 electoral votes solid or leaning romney. romney has what carl rove calls the 3-2-1 strategy. when the three most republican states carried by barack obama, they would be indiana, north carolina, which we already lean romney's way and virginia. if you get those three, romney closes the gap. where's the two? that would be win florida and win ohio. if you get to that point, romney is actually in the lead. and then he would only have to win one of the remaining toss ups. would not have to turn any blue states red if they do that. but you asked the question, so let's shade ohio blue. even if you give romney those other states i just gave him, if the president wins ohio, most people believe if he's winning ohio, then he's holding pennsylvania, michigan and probably holding wisconsin. look how close that puts the president, wolf, if he can win ohio, he'd only have to win one out of iowa, colorado and nevada and he gets re-elected. >> good point. thanks very much, john king, at the magic wall. appreciate it. more politics coming up l

this is the electoral map. 247 solid or leaning obama, 206 solid or leading romney.s iowa and colorado among them. switch maps, wolf. what else do they have in common? these are classic swing states. this is the 2008 map, iowa and colorado both part of the obama coalition. erase those. try this. go back in time, what do you get in 2004? george w. bush won both of those states. go back to the year 2000 they were split. al gore winning in iowa, george bush winning in colorado. classic swing states. why are the candidates spending so much time there? one of the reasons they are not only toss up states, they are about as close as you can come. in the latest colorado poll about two months old we'd like to see more recent data. but look at that. a lot of money going into these states. look a this right now, yes, governor romney has been raising more money as of late, but tv ads spending just in the last month in colorado almost $500,000 advantage. $2.1 million for the president, $1.6 million spent just by the campaigns in the state of colorado both campaigns now beginning

that changes the whole formation, just like when i was talking about whether this is breached or not. the lean -- this line means it's a bearish wedge and monsanto is due for a pullback. if we go with the dotted line instead of the solid line, it means it's at the low end of a bullish channel, which is exactly the way a technician would want to buy. i'm not definitive, but if we get a pullback in monsanto, collins would be a buyer. let eelg look at the weekly chart. this has shadows of the same kind of wedge formation that we saw in the daily, but in the weekly, monsanto has broken out above the wedge. see that? and the two trend lines have actually met each other. well, wait a second. that's not supposed to happen. it's not just good technical analysis. that dunl happeoesn't happen. if they meet, you're supposed to throw it away. so collins says you have to forget about the wedge in the daily and just focus on the larger bullish channel contained between the two brown lines. previous worries, mitigated by this longer-term, which he thinks tells more truth. right now, monsanto is at the top of
