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.

(34,857 posts)1. Yes. They switched to LV around this time four years ago...

(10,960 posts)2. Tomorrow is 4 weeks out
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.

(17,377 posts)4. With the uproar over Pew, I was just thinking this
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.
