In case you needed evidence that the GOP primary has been an abject disaster for Republicans, there you have it. Mitt Romney's numbers have slipped in all three states and the margins have widened despite all the supposed talk of gas prices dragging the president down.

Romney, in particular, is looking extremely beatable, and is reaching historical highs for unpopularity:

Thirty-four percent hold a favorable opinion of Romney, the lowest for any leading presidential candidate in ABC/Post polls in primary seasons since 1984. His unfavorable score is higher than Obama ever has received; it’s been exceeded by just one other Republican candidate this year, Newt Gingrich, and by only one top candidate in 28 years, Hillary Clinton in 2008.
Needless to say, Republicans can't capture the White House without two of these three states, and that's assuming they run the board in Arizona, Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Virginia. And they won't.
