Gallup is now tentatively planning on conducting interviewing over the last four days of this week, Thursday through Sunday, to provide a final pre-election estimate of the election race. The decisions we make on the validity of the sample and the analysis of the data that results will be carefully informed by the degree of recovery from the storm over the period of the survey.

I'll give you something to smile about... obama drew 2500 union goons to an Ohio rally today... he drew 58,000 on this same day in 2008. Romney is appearing in Ohio this afternoon... they have given away more than 55,000 tickets.

I’m not surprised - they have a good reputation for accuracy and Monday’s poll is likely to be their last one.

Sandy may have introduced unwanted “noise” that’s crept into other polls.

Given what we’re seeing on the ground, I’m skeptical the election is as close as its portrayed to be.

Maybe. Or maybe it’s better than having Gallup show us a storn-skewed poll with Obama on the heels of Romney.

So their next poll is going to be the one they are judged by for the next four years.

No pressure!

I kind of like the fact we won’t get one till monday. More and more people are seeing that millions are without power, food and gas in NY and NJ - bursting that imaginary bubble about Obama’s so-called crisis leadership - and the rise in unemployment to 7.9 should leave a mark as well.

Well, they have a good rep for calling the winners but so good on accuracy.

I have a sneaking suspicion they will have Obama up. The other national polls all have Obama trending up.

The 1965 Immigration Act coupled with the Gov’t destroying traditional families has finally caught up to us giving us a permanent Democrat majority.
