The American people continue to show that they believe their own eyes and ears instead of the Obamaspin of the economy, jobs, the middle east,and nearly every other topic of inportance in this election. The day after the 2nd Presidential Debate, which the Leftninny Gaggle of Doofi have declared as an "Obama Victory", Gov. Mitt Romney, after another NO NONSENSE, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT DEBATE, has opened up a SIX POINT LEAD, in a poll cited by the decidedly LEFT-LEANING WASHINGTON POST: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mitt Romney leading President Obama by six in Gallup poll Mitt Romney has taken a six-point lead over President Obama in the latest Gallup national tracking poll his biggest lead to date and the first time he has led outside the margin of error. The latest seven-day tracking poll of likely voters shows Romney at 51 percent and Obama at 45 percent, up from 50-46 on Tuesday and 49-47 on Monday. Romney has steadily gained in the Gallup poll in recent weeks, turning what had been a growing deficit in September into a growing lead since his strong first debate performance. And when Gallup shifted its voter model from registered voters to likely voters last week, Romneys numbers improved even more (among registered voters, the race is at Romney 48, Obama 46). http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...eading-president-obama-by-six-in-gallup-poll/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next few days with reflect a more comprehensive idea of what overall effect the 2nd debate had on the national outlook, but, so far, Romney's momentum continues....
Oh, oh. This is the second time that I checked your post against the reference that you provided, and found it wanting. You emphasised the opening up of the Gallup gap as being after the second debate with obvious implications. In contrast here is what your reference had to say: You also failed to post the following from that reference, which is perfectly pertinent to the point that you are trying to make: That is called cherry-picking. I will fix that here:
Republicans have been claiming for months that polls don't matter. Now magically republicans have faith in polls again. Amazing how that works. What a bunch of hypocritical tools.
It will be that exact amount in two weeks, Romney 53% Obama 47%. See how that works? The polling system has been explained to you already, polling companies get real accurate getting close to the election, because if they are too far off, they will no longer be credible. But don't fret too much, you are in the 47% and your opinion has been noted
Obama is toast. If any of you PF progressives work for Obama or the Democrats, egg boxes are pretty strong for moving. See your local grocer.
The polls are not being padded now. That's one thing. And we've had two debates. But do I put all my faith in them: no way. It ain't over til the fat lady sings!!
Actually, IF one is counting Social Security recipients in that 47%, then it also includes me. However, I didn't buy the liberal spin. I knew full-well that Romeny didn't mean EVERYONE inside that 47%. Obama's gang is going to be desperate. Look in the coming week for a late October surprise. BUT if he does pull that (*)(*)(*)(*), I think it will backfire on him.
LOL!!! You cons are amazing! How can you live in such a state of denial? Your boy is down, 'the polls are wrong, they padded and it's the medias fault!' Your boy looks to be gaining or up a point or 2, ' The polls are correct now, they are no longer padded, the people have spoken!' LOL!!
Early polls don't. We are less than a month to go. Polls are much more interesting now. Momentum counts. I am still not that moved by the polls. I have been certain that Romney was the right guy for me to vote for after the video where he understood that 47% of the nation's registered voters are going to vote for Obama no matter what Romney does. Romney would win election by working on the 53%. It sure looks like that strategy is working. I think your problem lies in a failure of understanding the context of those earlier comments.
You're not going to see any reaction to the debate filtering through the polls right now. This was a seven-day poll, and simple math should tell you most of the people were interviewed prior to the last debate. That being said, I wouldn't pay too much attention to national polls, swing states are what matters. Right now, Obama seems to have the edge there since Ohio has been consistently behind him, even during the first debate. If Romney can't win Ohio and Pennsylvania, he'll have to sweep every other state, including Nevada, Colorado, and New Hampshire, which isn't very likely. Watch the Ohio polls, my home state will determine the winner, I would bet serious money on that.
It's nice to see you are as happy as we are about this shift in the polls. You aren't saying they are wrong are you?
The problem is that it ticked up today. Which means that Romney gained support in yesterdays polling.
R 52% O 45%.Romney has also gained in likability over Obama.I warned his attitude at Tuesdays debate would cost him likability points.
