No change! So much for the Obama 'better numbers'.

Today’s Gallup update - Romney still up 6; up 2 among registered voters; Obama’s net job approval down another point.
Probably really plus 4 or so nationwide, giving as much credence as they deserve to other pollsters.

I believe that’s four days over 50%. No static in this result. It’s the real deal. I bet Zogby’s crying!

I expected a narrowing in this poll today, so this is a surprise.

Maybe Nate Silver can hold him.

Americans have figured out that Hussein should never have been put inthea job for which is is manifestly unsuited.

This corresponds very closely with Rasmussen's just released swing state poll.

I think the collective fear in here about this being a Gallup ‘setup’ is wrong. Gallup is using the turnout model they expect to be reality on Nov 6 and using that model Romney is walking away with this thing.

If other pollsters were using models closer to 2004 rather than 2008 the RCP average would be 6+ in favor of Romney (not counting the eventual allocation of un decideds).

In 2000 Russert said “Florida,Florida,Florida”.This year it could well be “Ohio,Ohio,Ohio”.

.
The reported numbers were already ‘narrowed’ by Gallup.

The real numbers are more like 55 - 39.

Consistency deflates the claim of Gallup being "an outlier." Reason for increasing confidence.

Obama is today 46 with registered voters; 45 with likely voters. 2 1/2 weeks before the election. Even is Gallop is undershooting Obama’s support by a couple points, these are just terrible numbers for an incumbent.
