Steady, steady, steady....
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!
Now it looks like Ras as well.
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.
Needs A Miracle
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%!!!
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.
A sitting president who cannot break 46%, with 2 weeks before the election, is not in an enviable position.
Their petulant two year old is gonna take this one on the chin.
What does Gallup have, a D+7 sample?
I’ll worry less when hussein is trailing by 10 points.
I voted Romney/Ryan last night (every county in Washington State is “vote by mail”), and while I’m glad to see Gallup and Rasmussen polling Romney at 50% plus, I’m still very nervous (Allred, Chicago machine, etc).
14 days.
Ras 50-46. Gallup 51-46.
Now PPP polling comes to earth.
Mitt 49-47 with a +6D sample

Gallup 51-46. Ras 50-46. PPP 49-47. Now ABC 49-48.
What do they have in common? Romney leading all. PPP poll is a plus 6D sampling.
