No disrespect to you, but why bother with a poll of “registered” voters?....this close to the election..only polls of “likely” voters are worth anything..

Anyone know when Gallup switches over to likely? And a 7 day rolling average? Really? Things turn in a dime. 3 days (like Ras) is way more topical and accurate.

I think a poll like this is useful. If the race is tied with RV, then it probably means that Romney is ahead by a sizable margin.

Just give Romney a couple more points and take a couple away from Obama and you’ve converted the results from ‘registered’ to ‘likely’. Had it started out at ‘adult’ rather than ‘registered’, you’d have to repeat that to get all the way over to ‘likely’.
