Meh..i don’t think too many people are emotionally attached to Obama in 2012. Just black people and some hardcore leftists. But even traditional dems are not enthusiastic.

Americans are still having difficulty breaking that emotional bond with Obama. They know time is getting short and it appears they’re becoming frightened about going on without him.

After a couple more days, the debate and Obama and his "bounce" will be forgotten.

State polling lags a little. NV isn’t going for Romney I fear. It’s all about Ohio. I doubt PA is going for R either...they are always a tease but never follow through.

The polls show some tightening. But the overall outcome is never in doubt.

This election for want of a better term, is now Romney’s to lose.

For job approval, Gallup polls Adults, on a 3 day basis. Why Gallup polls anything other than registered voters this close to an election is a mystery.

If a three point gap remains in all these polls for another week, and Romney sits at 50% or higher, it is going to be a landslide...not a 1980 level landslide, but a very decisive one sided victory. Assuming Ohio goes in that scenario, we’ll also see a host of states with us...IA, NH, CO, and maybe WI and one other.

1980-88 landslides won’t happen again as parties have evolved. Each side is going to get 46% minimum and each side has regions of the country that are locked down.

Obama had a good day then, hopefully not a trend,
but the bottom line is other polls like Monmouth U and Ras are showing Romney leads of 2-4 pts as well.

Watch where the respective campaigns devote their resources and time to.

The front-runner can afford to widen the battlefield and force his opponent to defend his turf.

Romney’s internals must be very good - a lot better than the ones we get to see. That drives how his campaign budgets its time and where its next moves are going to be.

Have faith!

Actually we have Romney leading in the last Rasmussen in New Hampshire and Colorado, Tie in Iowa and in Ohio but he was one and two points down respectively in the previous polls.
I don’t necessarily buy all those results, but if there’s a new trend is not showing in polls so far.

"Looks like Romney is sitting almost exactly where Obama was in 2008."

Exactly so. Concern trolls, eat this.

Gallup is fake. Setting up the fake Obama come back the media is now running with. Set up Romney in last debate to play defense.

There is a new trend, Obama is on the rise and it’s clear now. New poll has Obama up in NV 50/47, tied in OH. Check my history, I’m no fan of Obama but I won’t bury my head in the sand. Romney is NOT moving up in the swing states. The media won’t report on anything that may be damaging to Obama and they will elevate anything that will damage Romney. I’m disappointed but this went from 7 to 3 points in less than a week.

Gallup has a history of wild swings in their data if you have followed them in any recent election.

Romney has clearly moved up in all of the swing states. Going from a significant deficit to a tie in Ohio is moving toward him, and he was behind or tied in multiple other swing states where he is now clearly in the lead.

I don't want to falsely accuse you of being a concern troll, but what you said is clearly incorrect...and the fact you asked "check my history" and felt the need to say "I'm not fan of Obama" before anyone had even said anything casts another shadow of suspicion over you...

Lol..you actually think that Romney was setting his strategy based on Gallup’s daily tracking poll? Seriously??

As i stated before last debate, the narrowing would continue to show a big swing. Never thought we were up 7.

“”Looks like Romney is sitting almost exactly where Obama was in 2008.”

Exactly so. Concern trolls, eat this.”

Also... They have O’Bozo at 11% UP the day before the election, and he actually won by less than 7%. That means they’re probably giving him a 4-5 point cushion, so hopefully, he get DESTROYED by AT LEAST that amount!

It may be nothing more than unusually good Romney days from LAST WEEK are rolling off the 7 day average.

About my favorite analysis comes from CAC via Ace of Spades. He predicted a Romney drop yesterday or today, and for that exact reason: strong days rolling off the back end of running average. Makes me feel better about this.
