It’s hard to imagine that 10% of those polled have changed their minds about Obamacare (around 60% down to 50%) in two weeks. However, it may be that Democrats are successfully motivating their base to vote. So, the pool of likely voters is growing with addition of more democrats.

Also, where once again is the RNC? Where is the constant and systematic ad campaigns (not on the web! but on TV) nailing the current DEMS leadership, since 2006! and Obama on the economy, on poverty rates, unemployment rates, etc. There just is NOT a drumbeat coming out of the RNC nailing them on these things.

Not sure how a poll would be impacted by whether the voter is apathetic and stays home or whether they are motivated to get out and vote. Is one of the questions by the pollster "Are you planning on sitting this one out?"

“It’s hard to imagine that 10% of those polled have changed their minds about Obamacare (around 60% down to 50%) in two weeks.”

Let’s not forget that Ras underestimated Scott Brown’s surge by at least 3 or 4 points. Do that in this case (also think about the MoE) and you have 48 - 39 or 49 - 38.

In any case, because the pollsters tend to oversample RATS, we’re still in good shape.

Just my take.

This should inspire us to GOTV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not take anything for granted.
