This blows the Democrat 3% margin-of-cheating completely out of the water.

Still 3 weeks remaining. Do not indulge in speculation.

I guess Gallup has decided that Romney is so likely to win that the Obama Administration’s lawsuit isn’t likely to be pursued past inauguration day.
Kind of funny.

Since Gallup started tracking in 1936, the only person to mount a comeback down six points on Oct. 17 was Ronald Reagan. And 0bama is no Ronald Reagan.
Even if Gallup says we're six ahead... let's keep working like we're six behind anyways.

:Greg Sargent of The Washington Post responded, tweeting back that polling averages not one poll should be the basis for common wisdom.”
Oh horse manure — the RCP average of polls can in no way average all the polls together — different days, different sample sizes, overweighting of Democrats in several polls but not in others, different ways of collecting the samples.... and on and on.
It’s a charade, and I’m surprised no statisticians have called them on it.
Pick an historically accurate poll (Rasmussen, Pew) and stick with it.

I don’t trust Gallup at all, they could have boosted Romney’s numbers until after the debate, then to show an 0bama “comeback”.

If they are still over weighting democrats, then BO is in real trouble.

Gallup poll shows Romney up 6; too large a gap for Obama comeback? Keep in mind, the election is happening NOW in many states due to early voting, it is conceivable that if Romney really is six points ahead, even if everything went perfect for Obama and he moved into a tie or small lead by election day he could still lose because of all the votes that have been cast since the first debate.

Assume nothing. This is just one poll. Yes, it`s encouraging, but 20 days remain... much can happen in that timeframe.

What they can't screw with is the demographic sampling, and Obama is losing every category compared to 08. That, coupled with the enthusiasm gap, voter registration trends and lack of "hope & change" feelings, is serious trouble for Team O. That being said, there is NOTHING they have not thought of, and will do EVERYTHING to maintain their administration.
The debates have only proved that Obama can't run on likability so, the most dangerous time of the campaign season is now, and R2 had better be ready for it, or get out in front of it.

I will put on my swami turban and predict that after the next and last debat Romney will up by 7 or 8, and it will be all over for the Kenyan.

Figure in at least 5% voter fraud and Obama is 1% point ahead.
Romney’s doing very well up to now but he’s got to do a lot better.
