Just seems odd that Gallup would be the one major pollster showing Romney +5 to +7 for over a week and then suddenly suspend polling operations on account of a hurricane and not report again until the day before the election - only to basically mirror the Romney +1 that the competition is reporting.

I guess it's good they still have Romney up but I'm not buying that Obama got a 4-6 point bounce just because he put his arms around Chris Christie and pretended to care (for just a day) about a hurricane.

I’m telling you, all those pollsters have got together and deicded to put it at a tie so none of them lose face. Its smells, it totally does.

If you can GET your arms around Chris Christie you deserve something.

This poll is probably D+2.

Gallup decided to play it safe.

If its R+1 or R+2 tomorrow, Romney should skate safely home with plenty of electoral votes to spare.

Which brings us to the main question: will this election be closer to 2008 or closer to 2010?

I’m betting it’ll be closer to 2010.

Of course, you mean... "Put his arm BEHIND Chris Christie"??

Not even Obama has arms THAT long!

This is a registered voter !
Gallup did not issue the likely voter poll which had
Romney up by 4 or 5 pts

It’s a different poll completely !

WHY !
