Gallup 7-day tracking poll update: Obama 49%, Romney 46% among RVs. LVs, a different story...

Not great movement (Obama goes from a +5 lead yesterday to only a +3 lead today), but still better than the other news we've been deluged with as of late:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/election.aspx

Update to the update: It appears Gallup is now going to be releasing the likely voter (LV) numbers on a regular basis from now on in addition to the registered voter (RV) numbers. Sadly, Romney leads LVs according to Gallup, 49% to 47%.

supposedly suggesting that Dems are not as much likely to vote. But IMHO, probably 90% of the people are going on about their lives and not obsessing over the election like the media assumes (because they need the ratings), and they will come around and vote as long as they are reminded.

We still have 28 days go and a couple more debates, so it will bounce around.

Decided that 100's of good lies deserve 1 more.
About 40 friends so far, plan to tell any & all Pollsters that we're Independents and Strongly Supporting and Voting for the Mitt'ster. JOIN US, Blow the polls out, they don't believe them anyway, and Instill a great sense of overconfidence, which won't take all that much!!
