Gallup: Romney 51-46. Most devastating internals yet for Obama.

Posted on 10/27/2012 10:15:29 AM PDT by hawaiian

Obama approval rating has taken a 14-point turnaround for the negative in the last 4 days. Getting just killed on personal approval. Hasn't been above 47 in 2 weeks. Benghazi and his body language are hanging all over him.

Don’t worry, once Obama is gone, there will be a best selling book written by a new Bernard Goldberg type. Most likely a young idealistic journalism major who got a job at a major network or newspaper. Someone who bought into Hope & Change, and at first, was willing to do anything to help Obama.

But then, at a certain point, they realized that Obama wasn’t who he said he was, and the media corruption started to sicken them. So they began to keep a diary of all the behind the scenes machinations going on at their network or newspaper designed to bury stories that would cast Obama in a negative light.

Maybe there will be several people like this, all competing for book deals. A lot of people are going to turn on Obama once he’s labeled as a loser.

My guess is that many in the Black community will do some soul searching and come to terms with the fact that Obama was never one of them, but rather a self serving “magic negro” con man. On the other hand, White Liberal academics and hipsters will continue to hold Obama in high esteem, since he fits the profile of the kind of Black guy that they’d love to have as their token Black friend. Someone that they can split an order of pesto couscous dumplings with mole sauce at an overpriced bistro in Park Slope Brooklyn with.

I do remember Gallup had Bush up big over Gore at one point, but I don’t think it was this late in the game.

Until a month or so before the election, Gallup does no screening for likely voters and tends to get wide variations in their results. As election day approaches, they go to their likely voter model and the results get much more accurate.

Be interesting to see a link that showed Bush up that big with Gallup that close to election day, but I doubt such a thing exists.

Holy crap at Approval/disapproval!!!!

Oct 24th: Approve 53, Disapprove 42
Oct 27th: Approve 46, Disapprove 49

3 day change: Approve -7, Disapprove +7

14 point swing in 3 days!??? OBAMA IS TOAST!

I sometimes go on DU to see what they think (haven’t in a while) but I remember them saying Gallup’s LV tracking was clearly insane since Obama’s approval was +11. Wonder what they think now that it’s -3 3 days later...hahaha.

I read that both Romney and his wife were under the weather last weekend. He wasn’t as sharp as usual during the debate and his voice has been raspy all week.

Hopefully, he’s starting to get his strength back now and will have a kick to finish the race.

California was once part of the U.S. but now unfortunately has become a splinter nation unto itself. Too bad that. You should immigrate back to the U.S.

Honestly PRAYING that this zero of a president not just loses, but gets taken to the woodshed in 10 days.

They have been right for the last 4 months. When the polls were solidly for Obama, unskewedpolls kept pointing out the flawas in the polling. Not even Rassmussen saw this coming. this morning Rassmussen is now 51-46 for Romney in the swing states. Unskewed saw the trend 4 months ago!

It was on Oct 27 as evidenced by the link provided earlier in the thread. In 2000 that was 11 days before the election. After that the race began to tighten quickly.

The 2000 election was very volatile in October according to Gallup. See the 4th chart on this page:
http://www.gallup.com/poll/110548/gallup-presidential-election-trialheat-trends-19362004.aspx

We’ve seen a different type of race this year. Since Romney has taken the lead its been relatively steady.

This race surely could start tightening but my gut feeling (i know, not very scientific) is that it will not tighten like we saw in 2000. If the libs want to hang their hat on 2000 I’m happy with that.

Don’t forget Panetta and Dempsey. Save spots in hell for them! Panetta was also one of Bubba and the ‘Beast’s boys and as SECDEF he had a major role in letting those men be killed. Dempsey is a disgrace to the uniform, and I can’t see how anyone in the military could follow him.

Benghazi may get him politically Qadaffied. Hillary too, and rightly so.

CBS NBC ABC rarely cover Benghazi. People have to find out otherwise. From Fox and talk radio, internet etc

Thanks FRiend. I found it too.

Maybe Romney has a DUI the RATs can expose the weekend before the election.

I’ve been trying to get back to Texas for awhile.

I got my son out of California. He’s going to college in Texas.

My husband is a native Californian and loves all the natural beauty of the state. He can’t imagine being far away from Yosemite and the rest of the Sierras.

That is hard to say and almost impossible to predict.

It is getting out though, via mere grapevine. It is that bad. I think it is due to the internet, the sheer number of people affected by the eternal and formless Arab wars, and the unprecedented (unless the rumors of the knowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack are true) level of government failure.
