Gallup: Romney 47%, Obama 47% (Registered voters)

Gallup ^ | September 20, 2012

[GOPinCa]

All tied up according to Gallup among REGISTERED voters!

[over3Owithabrain]

Dude that’s from May.

[AdamBomb]

yes, but isn’t this a 7 day rolling average? If so, I would expect the number to drop...like RAS but a little slower.

[sam_paine]

What are the media going to be like id Romney wins?

Ugh. They’ll be ten times worse than how they treated Bush. They’ll trash everything scorched earth.

[over3Owithabrain]

My bad it’s current not May. Read the wrong article sorry. Polls making me crazy

[SeekAndFind]

SIGH.... Where are the internals?

What’s the D/R/I breakdown?

Why the heck do they do this without telling us?

[PittsburghAfterDark]

Wow, registered voters?

Just wonder what the makeup was.

If he’s tied with an oversampled registered poll this has to be a -10 with likely voters with accurate sampling.

No way to spin it, it’s a bloodbath incoming.

[over3Owithabrain]

The inner cities will likely burn when Obama loses, egged on by a media who told them all year Obama was winning.

[null and void]

Polls making me crazy

As intended.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

If true, an even score among RV is a freaking GOP blowout on election day.

[null and void]

[Personal Responsibility]

Polling firms aren’t stupid. They know the closest sample to real data is Likely Voters not Registered Voters. When you see them use Registered voters you can safely think “intentional skewing of data toward Obama”.

[xzins]

A 2% margin of error, and no idea what the party affiliation weighting was.

This is very unusual for a sample of registered voters. My guess is that it’s a bit of an outrider. If it isn’t, then there’s been a massive shift toward Romney over Obama’s foreign policy debacle, and that would explain the screaching reversal by the Admin yesterday regarding the intel reports about Libya/Egypt prior to the embassy attack.

It would also explain why the media attacked Romney so vigorously over the 47%, and in fact, why they released that bit of video when they did.

If registered is this close for Romney, then that is a sea change.

[Andrei Bulba]

If they burn blame the burners. Period.

[null and void]

What’s the D/R/I breakdown?

It's all D...

[JohnBrowdie]

but, but, but, how can this be? the MSM declared romney dead, his campaign in “disarray”, and the election decided.

[arrogantsob]

There won’t be any burning cities when The Disaster is defeated. Nor will he (as others have claimed) try and hold on to the office.

[null and void]

If they burn blame the burners. Period.

LOL! rrriiiiiiight!

[wolfman23601]

Not necessarily. This poll says that ROmney had a better day yesterday than he had 8 days ago. That is all. Rasmussen’s said Obama had a better day than 4 days ago. That is all.

[Heavyrunner]

Hopefully Rasmussen mirrors this tomorrow - That’s the last pollster who I have a shred of faith in.

Unskewed polls.

[null and void]

Can we quote you in, say, three months?

O’Bunga and his thugs blew over $100M in unanswered smear ads painting Romney as a tax cheat, murderer and unprincipled money-grubber. Now they're off and running wih the 47% nonsense, but even after all of that, Gallup has them tied? Even using RV and skewed +D. Chicago is not pleased.

[Ravi]

Obama upside down approval/disapproval 46/48 is more significant to me. That’s over the past 3 days and is of national adults.

[Red Steel]

Poll from “09/13-19/2012”

[over3Owithabrain]

Yup. Obama is the one having a baaaad week not Romney. Let's review:

Caught in lie/spin about the 9/11 terror attack - forced now to backtrack;
Jobless news still grim;
Polls showing IN, NC gone and CO, NH ready to fall also

[jimbobfoster]

I know most of the polls are BS, but I can’t stop looking at them. My mind is already made up. I wish I could quit watching every daily twist in the polls, but I can’t.

I know what you mean. I'm cautiously optimistic, but I toss and turn in bed at night. I worry about having a stroke before Nov 6 gets here.

[BlueStateRightist]

I’m with you. Unfortunately, you’re SOL, as Obamacare won’t pay for the drug that treats your condition, known as Ihatehusseinitis.

[TonyInOhio]

Hopefully Rasmussen mirrors this tomorrow - That’s the last pollster who I have a shred of faith in.

Don't count on it - Rasmussen tends to pick up trends faster because of the 3-day averaging, and it does look like Romney took a hit over the past couple of days. That will probably show up in the Gallup numbers over the weekend.

Let them. It'll show everyone who Bathhouse Barry's real supporters are.

Oh, and I sincerely pity them if they try to reach out to the suburbs in any southern or western red states. Just sayin'.

[genghis]

polls make me crazy too. But ryan had 7000 at a rally and biden had 200
that is really significant.

[DoughtyOne]

Oh my. That’s gonna leave a mark.

If a blanket ‘registered group’ breaks out even, imagine what a likely voter group will break out like.

Adios Obambi...

[DoughtyOne]

Looks like the Romney campaign is in a shambles alright. LOL

Atta boy Obambi, keep up the good work.

[ROLF of the HILL COUNTRY]

For those of us who were there, the election of 1980 was a real nail-biter, because the media kept telling us that Reagan couldn't possibly win and the polls seemed to confirm it!
As it turned out, that was all wishful thinking (and an attempt to discourage the conservative vote) by the Leftists.

Reagan creamed Carter.

Barring election fraud on a massive scale, Romney should win handily.

[arrogantsob]

Two months will be enough.

There are few people with less faith in the American voter than I but it is undeniable what they are doing with these polls. Now Rasmussen has released one showing that there are more people identifying themselves as Republicans than Democrats. Is he wrong about that? Quite possibly but I doubt it.

If pollsters use Likely voters and a properly balanced sample I might be disturbed but they lean over backwards to oversample Democrats.

Do you believe a poll taken here would be an accurate predictor of the general electorate?

[nhwingut]

Don't count on it - Rasmussen tends to pick up trends faster because of the 3-day averaging, and it does look like Romney took a hit over the past couple of days.

I tend to agree. We will see with Rasmussen over the next couple of days how this plays out. Maybe the drop in Rasmussen is noise (they do go back and forth).

But if you look the Gallup survey of this issue (here ), some 63% say it either makes them support Romney even more (20%) or doesn't matter (43%) at all. Only 36% say it will make them 'less likely' to vote for Romney. And we know that 36% is basically the Democrat base.

[thingumbob]

......If Obozo looses.....

They'll call it Black Tuesday and the Media Lemmings will be jumping out of the windows of their high rises.

[arrogantsob]

Although I love the results and believe they are pretty accurate I have to ask how we know they are unskewed.

Wish, yes, believe, no.

My point is that the communist, uh, community organizer in chief's target audience is being groomed to think that he can't possibly lose an honest election, and is being set up to burn everything in sight when reality intrudes on their happy little fantasy moochers paradise.

[null and void]

They'll call it Black Tuesday and the Media Lemmings will be jumping out of the windows of their high rises.

Can we get that on pay-per-view???

[Scooter100]

I'll see your 47% and raise you 7%...

Obama: 54%
Romney: 54%

[arrogantsob]

Most of these terrorists pay no attention to polls. Do you really think they watch the news? They don’t interrupt their criminal activities to rush home to watch CNN.

Cities where the home team wins the NBA are in far more danger.

Even Chicago’s dumbass mayor Rahm “The Wonder Horse” won’t allow Obama’s fools to do that.

[LeonardFMason]

We can only hope. There is a continent across the Atlantic that could use all the help it can get. When the cities are charred and ruined I will gladly help pay for transportation of the prosperous, but homeless, to this continent. They can build their EUTOPIA over there. I call it WIN WIN.

[crazydad]

All part of the plan. Just my opinion!

[thingumbob]

I'd pay for it ...and it does make for a nice image in my head......

I sure would love to see Romney rack up the state wins early so i could just sit and watch people like Prissy "Tingle leg" Matthews meltdown for the rest of the night.

Pure Schadenfreude.....

[rwfromkansas]

The trend has been in Romney’s favor in this poll when you click on the link. The question is whether it is too twisted in his favor since much of this was before the 47 percent. Regardless, it’s close.

[JerseyDvl]

I couldn’t survive 3 months nully. 47 days my FRiend and I am convinced that it is going to be a landslide. I haven’t done polling since College but everything that I see about the internals has made me extremely confident.
This is a dire situation and people are going to step up and turn out in droves that make 2010 look like a meager turnout. I know 2 people other than myself at work who have taken off to participate in GOTV drives.
I pray that many others will be doing the same and we can overwhelm the propagandists that seek to demoralize us each and every day.
God Speed FRiend.
PS- I remeber you first making an impression on me when you challenged my beliefs on both Obama and McCain’s “birth situations”. I learned a great deal and have always appreciated your posts ever since.
