Gallup's report today......... it appears all the people who haven't been paying attention to politics are now getting involved.

It's a BIG, long slide downward for Obama, people have had enough of his failed promises and leadership. Hope and change have left the building!

That poll is a huge outlier. You do realize that? Gallup has been doing pretty bad polls for a while now because they're running an LV instead of a RV system. I wouldn't trust them no matter who is winning.

Registered voters is a more accurate system than likely voters? Please do explain.....

All of a sudden the polls are correct? Make up your fucking minds. Regardless, IBD, IPSOS, and RAND all show Obama ahead and gaining.

Well first of all polls are not 100% accurate it's just impossible. Second Gallup is only a poll based organization, it would be a conflict of interest for them to be inaccurate. If all your money is made in lemonade you don't piss in it to see what happens. Third Gallup is one of the few polls that have zero party affiliation. Last their record speaks for itself.

It's also about trends......and Romney has gained about 1 point each week the last 3 weeks. Yes, Gallup has no coal in the fire. Therefore, probably the most reliable.

Fiscal cliff fears that everyone is talking about isn't going to help Obama either.

So the shinier turd will be president. This country has gone to shit. Your votes don't mean shit, it is all partisanship now, do some research on electoral votes and you'll see what I'm talking about, just take a look at the 2000 election, Gore had the majority of the votes.

rassmussun polls are historically more accurate. there cant be that many peeps, who want to re-elect ohbama. based on what accomplishments??? hmmm. all numbers point to a worsening. so we give him another shot? not. we cant afford the risk. and i think his people want to give us to the arabs. they think appeasing them, is better than war. bull. ill keep my freedom, thankyou. they have no real ideal, of how to help. other than FREE money hot off the press, more food stamps, and hurting buisness at every turn. no more free lunch. people in america WORK FOR A LIVING! we are not sweden, or greece, or any other socialist nations. THEY ALL ARE FAILURES!! AND SOME WANT US TO FOLLOW THIIER EXAMPLE! insanity. after katrina, contractors thought it be easy to hire help, with the economy so down the tube there. but no. the lazys felt after proving they could work, they would not get any more free shit. and acting like animals, to boot. raiding. defaceing property. yup. time for all of us to man up come nov 7.

Hard to say he is "appeasing" Muslims. He has bombed the hell out of them.
Muslims want him to leave, we want him to leave. Doesnt seem to me he is appeasing anyone in those regards.
