Gallup does its tracker over a 7 day period.

Yesterday it was Obama 47/Romney 46 or Obama +1. Then the VERY NEXT DAY with only 1 additional day on the 7 day tracker Obama jumps 3 points!

Folks, thats all Clinton from Wednesday night. (Remember Obama's post tracking numbers won't be included until Saturday.)

To move a 7 day tracking number 3 points with just one extra day means that Obama must have been up HUGE NUMBERS in Thursday's tracking poll. Its the only way 1 day could move a 7 day tracking number that much so quickly.


Thanks BIG DAWG!



When Obama's speech is added..... look out!

He didn't finish until after 11PM on Wed and I'm pretty sure they don't poll that late.

Where are the three points in one day? Am I missing something here? Or are looking at two different poll questions, voting vs approval.

I am confused.

From your post I don't see three points in one day. I see one point.

Thanks.

Which means Obama went up 2 points, plus the 1 he was already up, = 3

At least they realize Romney is a disaster.

I want to say to the 'electorate':

Pick a winner, the choice is obvious.

"the numbers". I've never honestly paid attention to them - I know what I see - but the media made certain to draw attention to this set coming out today.

Yesterday he was (+3), and today he is (+1).

Does this mean Romney's 'bounce' is over?

Unfortunately Obama is getting slammed by Romney & the media about it.

Puts a slight damper on things.
