Incumbent under 50% and demo oversampling.    LOL!!!!


Ras has Romney still at 50%

Gallup has Romney over 50%

Undecides break 3-1 challenger. 

This is terrible for obama.  You clowns grasp for anything to support the messiah.

Romney peaking?  LOL - did you see the massive crowd in CO last night?

Late to the party again. That poll has it essentially tied; the undecideds will break for Romney.

The 3rd debate has done basically nothing to help Obama's fortunes (much as his winning the second debate had no effect).

Not to mention ABC/WP has Romney up 1.

    if the poll has obama up it's no good but if romney is ahead it's spot on     anyone else see this pattern

The poll is WITHIN THE MARGIN OF ERROR. Even the very link you provided says that.

When polls are in the margin of error, the race in that poll is essentially a TIE.

Since it's tied but the total doesn't add to 100% that means the remaining voters are UNDECIDEDS.

And, guess how undecideds usually break in a close race, genius.

The pattern people notice is that you'll scrounge up anything to feed your delusion that Obama has this in the bag, when he clearly does not.

Need I remind you, YOU were the one that was all on the Rasmussen bandwagon when it had Obama up in the swing state poll....FOR ONE WHOLE DAY.

Once, the lead went back to Romney, you dropped Rasmussen's SS poll like a overheated brick (and haven't touched it, since then).

hey genius most of the swing state polls are to close to call that's why they're swing states

EXACTLY!! And if it's close the undecideds make the difference. Guess where those undecideds normally go, Einstein.

Rasmussen now has Romney up 50-46 in Colorado.

did you say that yesterday tooooooooo       and so if were going to go by what normally happens then romney doesn't win without ohio, right  einstein

PUT THE CRACK PIPE DOWN, SIR.

Obama's lead is less than two points (RCP average) in Ohio, with the latest polls having them tied. The undecideds go for the challenger. What part of that fails to enter that thick skull of yours?

But, if you want to get into what normally happens, Romney's over 50% in Gallup. Guess what normally happens when a challenger is in that area.

The way the race is going, neither man needs Ohio to win; though winning the Buckeye state definitely helps the cause.

[blacken700]

i say your putting to much hope that the undecideds go to romney,do you know that 60% of theundecideds are women and women have been breaking for obama    i guess will have to wait and see

Daily Swing State Tracking Poll Swing State Tracking: Romney 50%, Obama 45%
 Rasmussen ^ | 10/24 | Rasmussen

The full Swing State tracking update offers Rasmussen Reader subscribers a combined view of the results from 11 key states won by President Obama in 2008 and thought to be competitive in 2012. The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. If you do not already have a Rasmussen Reader account, subscribe now.

Platinum Members have access to detailed demographic information.

In the 11 swing states, Mitt Romney earns 50% of the vote to Obama’s 46%. Two percent (2%) like another candidate in the race, and another two percent (2%) are undecided.

This is now the fourth time Romney has hit the 50% mark in the combined swing states in the past five days. This survey is conducted on a rolling seven-day basis, and most of the interviews for today’s update were completed before the end of Monday night’s presidential debate. Romney has now held a modest lead for 13 of the last 16 days; Obama was ahead twice, and the candidates ran even once.

Rasumssen is consistent and doesn't oversample, unlike a number of other polls do. That's the reason I reference it, as do others.


I didn't miss the point. To the contrary, I made the point that, in your desperation to feed your delusion that Obama has the race in the bag, you resorted (for one day, at least) to reference a poll you normally wouldn't touch, because of alleged conservative bias.

As for my statement about Obama's RCP lead in Ohio, it's on the G&O board, the thread about the 3rd debate, reply #218.

http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=445047.200

Hardly!! Suffolk polling has it tied at 47; Rasmussen has Obama up just one....a significant DROP from where it was just a few weeks back. Obama's RCP average lead is less than 2 points. And you know that, in a essentially tied race, the undecideds go for the challenger, not the incumbent.

If that tradition holds true, Romney wins that state 51-48, at least.

[MCWAY]

i say your putting to much hope that the undecideds go to romney,do you know that 60% of theundecideds are women and women have been breaking for obama    i guess will have to wait and see  

Romney has closed the gap with women. Add to that, the 40% of undecideds who are MEN....they have DROPPED Obama big time.

As one pundit put, men are beyond buyers' remorse; they're for full product recall.
