I think it has something to do with the time it takes to clear your cookies in order to vote again.

So now all three tracking polls have Obama up.
Reuters O +4
Gallup O+4
Rasmussen O+2
Team Romney is mailing it in, IMO.

I think all minds are already made up and Obama is maxed at 47%. Romney will win 52% and over 300 EVs.

Reuters, huh.
They probably took this poll among delegates leaving the DNC convention.

I hope you are right. But Romney's numbers are awfully low for someone running against the biggest disaster in history. He is at 43 in both Gallup and Reuters. And 44 in Rasmussen. Cripes, McCain got 46 is a massive Dem year. He's not even hitting MCain's numbers in what is a far better year for Repubs.

I wouldn’t be too surprised if they got a short term bounce out of their convention. It often happens but we’ve got two months between now and the election and that bounce will wear off well before then.
To: Salgak
Uh... in the second sentence it says “ likely voters “ plain as day.

Yeah-and Scott Walker was tied in the recall vote.
And all those 2010 Tea Party voters have disappeared.
Don’t freak out, folks. The Media (pollsters) need a horse race for their ratings (billing). They’re working on their calculus, trying to figure out exactly what numbers they need to energize the RATs without lulling them into complacency (BamBam +) or demoralizing them (BamBam-). It’s a pretty narrow window ‘cause they know we’re coming out, no matter what.
Keep your powder dry and vote on Nov. 6th.

This is the convention bounce period so it isn’t surprising.

Despite jobs data? The poll covered Tuesday through Friday. The jobs data came out on Friday and most people didn’t hear about it until that evening or today.

Hi.
So now all three tracking polls have Obama up.
Yep, just like they had Carter up by 10 in October of 1980.
I wonder where Zogby and his special sauce is. Haven't heard squat from him.
I can see November from my lanai.

The parasites appear to be voting to kill their host. It’s time to get serious about prepping. I pray I’m wrong, but the end may be near.
To: libh8er
My plan is to vote for Romney, and let the chips fall where they may. I am at peace. If Obama should win, it's over. There will be nothing at stake after an Obama victory because this country will never recover from eight years of Obama. Another Obama victory will mean that the center-to-right electorate is permanently under 50%. After all, 90% of those who become US citizens after Obama wins again will be lifetime Democrats. If Obama wins again, the only hope for this country is via another revolution. Would I be up for that? As Sarah Palin would say, “You betcha!” I hope it doesn't come to that, but I am ready if it should.

Ever since the Ulsterman posting on how bad 0bamas internals are, we have seen nothing but positive stories about how well 0bamas poll numbers are now, etc. Obama's actual approvals are around 47%. He can't win an election with numbers like that.
The Paul Simon song, "Slip slidin' away," comes to mind when I think of Obama.

Obama is not going to win!
...but these pollsters sure are accomplishing their goal of demoralizing Republican voters.
Romney will win by 4 to 6 points.

Obama's actual approvals are around 47%. He can't win an election with numbers like that. He can if mitt's approvals are even lower. GOPe pushed another lame-o. Too bad. Newt would have won. The GOPe doesn't want to win. Instead it wants Hollywood's pretty people and Soros to like them.
