Down by 2 points. Yesterday it was R:50 O:47

However, that could be statistical noise.

Sample is D+4

1 point lead for Romney.

I think the D+4 oversampling isn’t believable.

Gallup says it will be R+1 or if you want to be generous D+1.

Even with the oversampling, Bamster still can’t surpass 47%.

Romney increased Indie lead from 19 to 20.

Romney leads on economy 51-44.

This is noise.

I was thinking same thing. The initial release was at 5pm...

However, does not matter.

After seeing today’s Gallup release of electorate survey, I have no worries whatsoever. The Republican turnout will be R+3 or so. All these polls, add 3 to Romney and take 3 away from Obama. I see it 52-47 or 53-46.

Romney leads by double digits among Indies and leads 51-44 on the economy?

No way he is statistically tied with O in the polls. But the MSM has its meme for tonight’s newscasts and the weekend’s stories.

Namely, that Bamster could be the Comeback Kid Of 2012!

The only real polls you will see are the last week of polling because everybody wants to be able to say how accurate their polls are next time around...unless the dem was winning that is then we would see truth from day one.

That last week will be interesting.

Or rounding. I think Obama is stuck in the 46 to 47 range. My guess is he will pull another 1% at least from his base.

Yeah I noticed that they wait until 5 if Romney goes up...but comes out early if Obama is up. Wow, not biased at all.

Also - Romney up 20 with Indies, and according to Gallup this year will have AT least even R’s and D’s (maybe more R’s) + Romney will win more conservative “blue dog” dems and Obama will get very few Republicans = Romney landslide.

Romney cannot be up 20 points with indies in EVERY poll and lose. End of story. Romney will win.

As I said yesterday, this poll isn’t serious.
Their sample stayed the same from yesterday but in the last four weeks jumped up, down, D+3, D+9, D+5, now D+4.

Anything
But
Credible

Indeed. A 20-pt Indy edge is probably the highest since Reagan-Mondale. Thus if would be statistically impossible for Romney to lose. If turnout is D-38(3.8 for Romney)/R-34(32.3 for R)/I-28 (16.8 for R) it’s a near landslide.
