Friday-lite is somewhat of a thing of the past, as we getpolls to close out the week, and clear conclusions remain elusive, though the clear message from Friday's data is that you'd much rather be the president than his opponent.

The national polls continue their bounciness, although the president got his fair share of the bounces today. But the swing states looked especially good for the president today, including some GOP pollsters who, while still conceding a lead to the Republican, had the race far too close for comfort in states that Republicans have long presumed would be a lock in their path to 270.

So, where does that ultimately put us? Based on the math, it looks like we are basically where we have been for two weeks now. The president has an edge, but it is a narrow one, and the coalition of states that put him over the top are led by margins that are not insurmountable. However, two things are clear, both of which are bad news for Mitt Romney's supporters, he still has a built-in electoral college disadvantage, and any Denver momentum he might have established has clearly been stalled.
