Today, Gallup's daily tracking poll showed Romney moving into a two-point lead over Obama, 47% to 45%. It was the first time since early June that Romney has led in the tracking poll. The race was tied all last week at 46%.
A good portion of today's numbers come after the announcement of Paul Ryan as Romney's running mate. Democrats were initially giddy about the selection, as they assumed they could paint Ryan and, by extension, Mitt Romney, as a "dangerous radical," with his plan to reform entitlements. Ever since the announcement, the media has been on a crusade to attack Ryan and build up his negatives.
Today's numbers from Gallup, however, suggest that the media's efforts aren't working. Expect the critiques to get even more shrill and expect more "anonymous" GOP sources to criticize Ryan. It is what the media does.

And this is “Registered” voters. You are looking at =7% if Likely voters.
“An actual, small government conservative candidate...” such as WHO? Not some nobody with no name recognition I hope. These races are won by SERIOUS candidates not some wet dream.
That won’t get them anywhere.
They can’t even massage the data to give The Disaster a lead any more even with Registered voters. R and R have a significant lead now is what this poll shows, closer to +7 than +2.
And we don’t even know to what extent Democrats were oversampled. This could be a lead of as much as 10% in the real world.
Rescue and Recovery.
I like that!
They really need to roll that out. It’s catchy, it works, and it reflects the despair of the average American.
I agree.
Only 2%? Wow. I thought it would be a little better. And these “bounces” don’t last long. That 2% will disappear very quickly.
Just 2 points in Gallup...so, really 10 points up.
Rather than doing this ankle-biting and demonizing Romney for free, you should try to get the Obama Campaign to PAY YOU to do this... I’m sure they would give you some pittance for your efforts.
This message packs a punch..I literally felt it.
How can I get a copy of this billboard pic?
