Gallup switching to LV?

Brace yourself for tomorrow's gallup

by Sugarandspice

Just a brief diary...

I was watching PBS newshour just now and one of the pundits made an excellent point. The gallup 7-day tracker is switching to likely voters tomorrow and it was predicted that the 5-point lead that Obama enjoyed today should be erased. It will show a tied race.

I hope it doesn't come to pass but if you, like me, check in religiously at 1 p.m. at least you can prepare yourself for the swing.

I've been wondering when they would do that.

I'll predict Obama by 1 (or perhaps 2) however. I don't think it will be a flat tie.

that Gallup was due to switch over to LV.

It could be a strong Romney day for RVs tomorrow as another pre-debate day rolls off the average. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a lead among LVs tomorrow.
