Oct 2012

Some people don't think the country will improve much with either one. They hate both Republicans and Democrats. So they are undecided as to who is the "lesser evil."

Wow. What was Obama thinking? GOTV Oct 2012 #2
Mitt still seems to be unable to get above 47%. JoePhilly Oct 2012 #3
From what I'm reading in the papers, the jobs report will not affect undecideds, because that's not Baitball Blogger Oct 2012 #15

Not at all...there is plenty we can do zeemike Oct 2012 #51
He based it on historical data Lisa D Oct 2012 #44
And the data includes the 2000 and 2004 elections. zeemike Oct 2012 #53
It would only include those debates demwing Oct 2012 #70

Meaningless since this is "registered voter" not likely voters... rfranklin Oct 2012 #8
exactly... LIV's also read these exagerated headlines and believe that Romney is clobbering... trailmonkee Oct 2012 #13
It isn't meaningless. To say so is being in denial. The polls indicate that something happened to still_one Oct 2012 #19
Agreed, Obama's debate performance was a disaster budkin Oct 2012 #59
and I really wish I didn't view it that way, but to ignore it is to become complacent still_one Oct 2012 #108

thank you very much for everything you're doing renate Oct 2012 #100
Inferring ALL of that from a smile??? And the distinct probability that you are wrong doesn't patrice Oct 2012 #69
I have worked in places at levels where most smiles mean something. plethoro Oct 2012 #99
You jumped from a smile to Obama and Robme are in collusion & that's not an inference? wow. patrice Oct 2012 #104
"most smiles mean SOMETHING"/i.e. CAN mean many different things & you picked the one & patrice Oct 2012 #105

OMG!!! LovingA2andMI Oct 2012 #25
this is not what it says on its side. graham4anything Oct 2012 #30
I think the poll includes Fri and Sat VirginiaTarheel Oct 2012 #45
but if the article is bragging it is even including some before the debate, then it is wrong graham4anything Oct 2012 #48
Was this the tracking poll or did they do a stand alone poll. hrmjustin Oct 2012 #31

I'm confused, Obama is up 49-46 in Gallup today budkin Oct 2012 #47
Gallup has a seven day rolling poll oswaldactedalone Oct 2012 #52
Actually they say the polling for the three days afterward is a tie karynnj Oct 2012 #55
I no longer know where I saw this early this AM oswaldactedalone Oct 2012 #64
I wonder if that was a reporter misstating what was in the Gallup release karynnj Oct 2012 #71
Good observation. maddogesq Oct 2012 #56
Ah ok, so it is actually tied... he'll go up again once the jobs numbers take hold budkin Oct 2012 #58
Notice how they didn't highlight a 3-day version when Obama was blowing Rmoney away BumRushDaShow Oct 2012 #66
No surprise-- Romney managed to undo some of the "painting" at the debate andym Oct 2012 #57
He didn't have to mock him, just be forceful that he changed all his opinions budkin Oct 2012 #65
