And if you look at the National polls this week, there are plenty with Obama +1 to +3 too. +4 for either candidate is approaching plausible but unlikely at this time nationally.
+7 is just a foolish model. Heck when it was +5 for Obama a month ago I thought it was a bit high and just a trend blip. I'm going to just assume Gallup is having some statistical irregularities but it is approaching a point of failing a P-test (which in statistics means something is wrong with your data) when compared to the other polls.
The polling becomes more realistic the closer to election day we get. They do not want to sacrifice what little credibility they might have.
LOL it's really disgusting that an incumbent President at such perilous times has no vision of the future but to nitpick at comments from his opponent.
Politics aside thoughtful Dems can't be happy about this strategy. I would like to think they would want a substantive airing of real issues, not this garbage.
I agree. He is so un-presidential in that way, and he has been his entire presidency. He lacks the class to take the high road. Instead of focusing on what HE is has/plans to do, he talks down the former president, his current opponent, Sean Hannity, and anyone else who agrees with him. It's just not very presidential and not becoming at all. I have never seen a president behave the way he does.
RCP Average of polls now shows Romney has more ELECTORAL VOTES than Obama, too
Obama's campaign hopes are crumbling faster and faster.
Electoral votes are what win Presidential elections, of course, more than popular-vote totals.
And according to the RealClearPolitics.com averages, Mitt Romney has now passed Obama in electoral vote totals, as well as in popular vote totals.
Note that the RCP average includes many polls that have hugely lopsided numbers of more Democrats than Republicans, which frequently show Democrats doing better than they really are.
The bell is tolling, Demmies. And it's tolling for you.
