The beat goes on. My question: has Gallup been doing this with the intention of deflating Romney’s numbers over the next week to make it appear that his campaign is slipping? I don’t trust any of these companies. They are all susceptible to influence by ideologues in their organization or the temptation of federal government contracts.

I can’t wait for big O to drop into the 30’s. From the looks of it - he’ll be there soon!

Obama ticking up a point is not surprising. Gallup is currently rolling off the days from 10/14,15 and 16. From looking over their rolling average these were days that Romney was polling 54’s and Obama polled 42’s, 43’s and 44’s. Essentially from my estimates Obama only had to poll a 45 yesterday to tick up to 46 in the average because as you might remember Gallup had said that like the 17th and 18th were strong days from Obama which I estimated to be 47’s and 48’s.

No slacking, no matter the tracking. No one can vote for you, so show up.

O picked up one point but that’s okay. I think the Gallup dude was on TV a day or two before the debate saying O had a good day that would show soon in his poll. If this is it..then all is good.

MR still above 50%!!!

GOTV. We need those 51% to show the heck up. I think they will.

Being a tad over 50% in all of the contested states would be much more reassuring.

Gallup and Rasmussen seem to be coming together in Romneys favor. Hehehehehe. The msm can no longer say Gallup is an outlier poll. Bwahahahahahaha.

Obama is highly unlikely to break 47% in the next two weeks. That is his ceiling.

The MSM is deeply disappointed!

We're getting there. Plus, there is this, from Rick Wilson (well connected in GOP campaign circles):

@TheRickWilson Someone is polling Oregon. I hear things.

I figured that a strong trend toward Romney would start showing up in the second-tier swing states, and that Oregon would be the closest of that group. If it is true that the campaign battlefield is starting to expand, then Romney is gaining momentum rapidly.

A sitting president who cannot break 46%, with 2 weeks before the election, is not in an enviable position.

And as Bob Beckel said just last week about the Gallup numbers, “if they are real...it’s over.”

“My question: has Gallup been doing this with the intention of deflating Romney’s numbers over the next week to make it appear that his campaign is slipping? “

They are a polling outfit, not Dr. No. If they had some diabolical plan to just f*ck with people, they would have done it easily by just having Romney @ 34% and keeping him there.
