Does anyone actually think we'll see an Obama poll surge post-debate?
Greta

Posted on 10/17/2012 9:10:59 PM PDT by HawkHogan

On Greta, one of the guests on her panel, Rick Klein, predicted a post-debate surge for Obama in the polls?

Does anyone actually believe that's going to happen?

This panel seems to think that it's still an uphill panel for Romney, even with polls like Gallup showing him with a 6 point lead.

I tend to side with Dick Morris on this issue. I feel that this election is going to be a landslide, with some surprising states like Pennsylvania (my own home state) going to Romney.

Is it foolish to be so confident about this election? Most of the pundits, albeit the biased ones, still think Obama comes out on top.

I’m the King of Optimism, don’t come after my crown.

PPP detects no bounce for The Disaster and they ain’t on our side.

No...Not in the real world but you’ll see one in Obama’s media world.

I live in a development community north of Reading Pa. I have seen one Obama sign, and scores of Romney signs which are now very difficult to get. I think Pa is going to bury Obama and the mushmouth Bob Casey who is also up for replacement.

Greta’s panel is terrible. They’re all unrealistically optimistic for Obozo. We might see a slight bump, but I would be surprised if Romney drops below 49.

Mitt’s been leading well before the first debate.

The MSM, think Candy , has shown bogus polls to make Obama look better.

Now this close to E day, they have to show real polls.

He’s been President for four years. A terrible Romney performance would give him a bump, not an upbeat Obama performance.

Those of us NOT suffering from “white guilt” saw Barry’s performance last night as being pretty dreadful. He had to lie his goatsmellin’ ass off to “win” on “points” for his commie lib ‘RATS. What his toads in the state controlled “media” do with their “polls” is something we have no control over. The only poll I’m waiting for is the one on November 7th. All the others are just noise.

Rush mentioned a couple of weeks ago that the MSM seems scared of Obie. Whether it is the fear of being frozen out the remainder of the year or plus four if he happens to win or if it is something else. What little credibility they have is really on the line. The pressies are way beyond whistling past the grave yard. They are in full throated song.

Klein is an idiot. He thinks because the punditry declared Obama the victor in the debate that he will get a likely bounce.

I suspect something else will happen...many of the undecideds will have swung to Romney and will start showing in the polls in the coming days.

I believe it is much much harder to go from a negative impression to a positive one than from a neutral position to a positive one. I think huge amount of people had not formed a Deep opinion of Romney, but people have had 4 years to for a deeply negative opinion of Obama. They are not going to reverse themselves after telling their friends they do not like Obama.

I don’t know about the debate but if theulstermanreport is not a hoax, then Obama will win. It is being said at the ulsterman site that Obama bombing or doing a drone strike is imminent.

Not at all. This will be an avalanche for Romney heading into the election. There’s no october surprise obama can pull.

Rick Klein - seems like he was a Clinton critter at CNN that helped him limp through Impeachment. Next question, please.

Unlikely. But we’ll probably see lots of phony doctored economic data.

The current Romney lead in Gallup is likely the high water mark for him. That will likely move back towards parity in the coming days. I suspect we’ll go into the election with a dead heat.

I predict Candy Crowley will go get two turkey legs from fridge and eat them in homage to the great job she did for her boss, Obama.

Don't forget to have a plate of cookies too.

Yes, because on Nov 3rd new unemployment rates of 3% will be released, and Obama will bomb an al Qaeda clone factory beneath a secret NAZI bunker disguised as a Baskin Robins. Ed Shultz will break into patriotic tears while Bill Maher screams about Obama the kick-ass warrior.

” scores of Romney signs which are now very difficult to get.”

Has FreedomWorks been distributing the great “Fire Obama” signs out your way? Very simple. Black background. Big white letters. “Fire Obama.”

We can’t keep them in stock here in Colorado. My wife scrounged up the last 200 in the state today and delivered them to our local victory office. They were gone in a a few hours.
