Romney is probably sitting at 54% and the only other winning GOP presidential candidate who got it was Bush I in 1988 and he won by a landslide. Gallup hasn’t been wrong very often and all the polls that show it as a close race - RCP in particular - are way off! That’s just my view since their predictive model is pure garbage. Today’s numbers in CO show that the state polls coming into view confirm Gallup IS correct, as they always lag behind. With 54%, I don’t see Romney loses OH and PA. I say he wins them both. It should hold up after tonight’s debate.

My biggest fear is that R/R get 53% of the vote and somehow lose the electoral vote. It can happen. Bush destroyed Kerry in ‘04 and could have easily lost the election if OH had slipped a few points in Lurches direction.

The worst thing about this is that Nobama would still govern as if he has a mandate just to spite the people. How dare they challenge King Barak?

Wow. Just think of that.

Johnson had put the country in such a state that there were riots in the streets. Major cities were burning, national guard in the streets. Two major public figures had been assassinated, and Johnson had realized his situation was so hopeless that the threw in the towel.

That was the tidal pressure behind Nixon in 1968. And Romney is polling ahead of him, even with the substantially more partisan media/polling environment we have today.

1968 was pre-Watergate, remember. The “MSM” was nothing like today; it hadn’t yet been taken over by the people who were organizing the riots.

“We have never weighted polls by party affiliation” - Frank Newport, Editor in Chief of Gallup.

Party affiliation follows the way a person is currently inclined to vote and party affiliation doesn’t drive how someone votes.

“We only ask the person after we have polled them who they currently self-identify with at the end of the poll for informational purposes.”

See here:

Somebody explain to me how such a methodology is better and more accurate than the others.

On October 20, in 1992, Gallup had Clinton beating Bush by 13 points. That was down, mind you, from 25 points.

"Ronald Reagan’s hard to believe 39% in 1980 (Carter was ahead with 45%)"

Let's just hope we're not seeing a repeat of this!

Larry Sabato, Crapweasel Extraordinaire, was on Fox this morning saying “the Gallup numbers are completely wrong!”

They showed a clip of a Gallup guy saying their methods are absolutely solid, and of course some people are upset about them because they don’t like what they are seeing, LOL.

The tide has turned.

Gallup has not been way off in a presidential election since 1948, when their final poll had Dewey beating Truman by 5 points (Truman won by 4). In 1976, their final poll had Ford up by 1 and he lost to Carter by 2 (difference of 3 points).

Other than that, Gallup has picked the winner in the presidential election every time since they started back in 1936.

Normally you see a "surge" for the challenger in the final few days, as we saw with Reagan in 1980. For Romney to be 7 points up (as of yesterday), well you can't ask to be in a better position than that.

55% / 45%. I’ve been calling it thusly since mid-summer. I’m just waiting for the numbers to catch up.

When people go into the voting booth, they really have one big choice:

“Do I want for more years of this?”

And the answer will be a resounding “NO!”

Life in America sucks worse than at any time in post-Depression history. Everyone can feel it. We want the awful 0bama years behind us.

We could have run a real conservative and won 55% / 45%.

Imagine what our nation would be like if it had more papers like the Washington Times.

Too bad some of those rich guys Obama likes to slam don’t buy up the major papers and switch the tone.

The same people who could not believe the whitewashing we put on the Dems in the 2010 midterms will be stunned - STUNNED - when Romney demolishes Obama. It’s like they are forcing themselves to not see it coming.

The question if what will conservatives do if obama wins by a tenth of a per cent? Will they riot if it’s obviously voter fraud?

How many times has Romney run since 1968? He was running against his father?
