Pretty much validates all other polling that shows Romney pulling away.
Gallup finally switches to Likely Voters, finds a seven point difference over Registered in Romney’s favor. That tends to confirm enthusiasm gap showing up elsewhere, and could be reflecting the narrowed gap in absentee and early voting.

Note that this is the seven-day tracker which means two days of data were accumulated before the end of the debate last week, and that a full weekend is included; my guess is Romney picks up another point tomorrow.
Now this is sweet! Romney flirting with the 50% mark.
Must be 5 to 6 points with likelys.
Devastating poll numbers across the board for an incumbent President.
OK, a little sober reminder before we get carried away with out euphoria -— What’s the D/R/I sampling breakdown of this poll?
I hope they did not oversample Republicans the way they did the Dems in the past, this time.
And it’s a Gallup poll.
I cannot wait to see Biden.
You know he is just RELISHING this. He is thinking, “THIS IS MY HOUR! I CAN JUMP START THIS CAMPAIGN!”
Which is simply awesome. With his “knack” for wanting to throw deep, you can bet that Biden is going to do something AWESOME.
I cannot wait!
I’m on pins and needles waiting to hear what Nate Silver has to say about this.
Debates don’t matter. /s
Delicious news!

They used registered voters in the Gallup survey for their headline. In the next paragraph they mention Romney's 49-47 lead among likely voters in the same Gallup survey.
Quite a big difference from yesterday’s Gallup hick-cup.
The polls are finally reflecting what I believe has been true for months.
Paging Chopperjc!
