Even with the Chef Axelrod special sauce, these are not bad numbers for Romney.

If you try to dive into the internals, all you get is a vast array of ethnicities, genders, language speakers, etc. for which they’ve adjusted. So, their sample looks very much like America; widely diverse.

What they haven’t adjusted for is turnout.

The reality is that certain demographics turn out at higher rates: the ones that vote Republican.

So, Gallup is underreporting the tidal wave that’s coming.

In my opinion.

Americans' Views of Obama More Polarized as Election Nears

Ninety percent of Democrats, 8% of Republicans approve of him

Thus far in October, an average of 90% of Democrats, and 8% of Republicans, approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president.

***That 82-percentage-point gap in approval ratings by party is on pace to be the largest Gallup has measured for a recent incumbent president in the final month before Americans vote on his re-election.***

George W. Bush had an 80-point party gap in approval, while the October gaps for other presidents were less than 70 points.

It would be interesting to know how the percentage of Dems vs. GOPs being polled shakes out.

[MNJohnnie]

Seems no matter how hard the regime leans on Gallup they just cannot manufacture a Obama win in Likely voters.

Thus far in October, an average of 90% of Democrats, and 8% of Republicans, approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president.

Looks like 8% of Republicans need to forfeit their Man Cards . . .

ROTFL. You’re right.

[Eccl 10:2]

Based on anecdotal evidence, there is a good bit of cross-registration. Not all the R’s are really R.

(That last sentence would have been really cool on Talk Like a Pirate Day.)

[Steelfish]

But with Obama’s utter disaster record, Romney should be up by 10 points. I think the 47% crowd is truly irredeemable. The result of years of indoctrination, the stupidity of white single women, and the barrage of pro-Obama media coverage are all at work to explain these dismal numbers.

I think the fastest growing and largest group is the Independents who are finished with both parties. I know far more folks who self identify as Independents than with either party. This is a big change from even the 2000 election. I don't think any of the polling outfits have models that take this into account...
