Gallup dude was on TV a few days ago and said a couple of good days from Obama would be showing soon in his poll. Still sucks though. Seems as tho zer0 got a small bounce from the foreign policy debate.
Meh whatever. this is gonna be close folks. stop yapping about landslides. that ain’t happening.
As predicted, there’s Obama’s 47% again.
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
Probably wasting my time in the face of the onslaught of “concerned” posters, but this is a 7 day tracking poll. You cannot extrapolate today’s numbers with recent events. It may be nothing more than unusually good Romney days from LAST WEEK are rolling off the 7 day average.
Obama’s job approval also jumped up 5 to +11.
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.
O is not going to break 47%.
When you look at enthusiasm and the crowds RR are getting at their campaign stops, day to day polls averages don’t matter much.
This is not going to stop the Mittmentum.
I continue to believe that Gallup has been setting us up. The threats from the Obama campaign have worked. I simply have no faith in Gallup. Gallup wants to help the MSM start an “Obama the Comeback Kid” attempt at creating a bandwagon effect.
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.
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.
Romney had a chance to give the coup-de-grace to Obama on Monday night but ole Milquetoast chose to play it safe.
I called this...wish I was wrong, but all pollsters circling the wagons/
Gallup particularily feeling the pressure
I’d like to see how Romney’s numbers compare to other challengers who eventually knocked off incumbents (Reagan, clinton). Is he closer to them or failures like Kerry?
Either way, I’ll forgive my compatriots for voting for this imbecilic once... First black president hoopla, tired of Bush, blah blah blah. Stupid but easy to understand how people could get sucked into that crap. But after seeing what he’s done for four years? Are you kidding me! The fact that he’s even this close is pathetic (and I think Rmoney has run a pretty good campaign)
I see some noise so far. I see an incumbent president who, 12 days out from an election, has yet to crack 50 in any national poll. I see Romney winning independents across the board in most every poll(averaging about +9 when you aggregate all RCP polls). I see an energized conservative base. I see the RNC with about 100 million more than the DNC. I see a Benghazi scandal ready to explode.
And I still see Romney up 50-47 in Gallup and 50-46 in Rasmussen with less than 2 weeks to go.
Obama may have gotten a bounce from the debate (and I could even see the race tied by week’s end or within MOE). But it will shake out and I see Romney closing the deal next week, pulling away for a solid 3-4 point win. Obama has not been able to convince independents that another 4 years is the way to go - even during Romney’s down time- and all through Obama’s term. You can’t win without winning Indies.
This tightening was almost inevitable. Very difficult to unseat an incumbent president. This election is all about turnout.
