Look to the right at gallup's main page, and it shows 49-46 in favor of Obama.
You are correct; and if you'll check out the heading those numbers are for Oct 4-6th. Polls are changing daily so I guess since Romney is narrowing the margin, it's tied today.

Which is a 100% true statement and point. But at this time, Romney is shown to be the current poll leader in all of the swing states except for Ohio, which shows him only trailing by one % point in it at the current time..

Perhaps you can trust poll results and perhaps you cant, but it should be apparent to everyone that it is a very tight race at this point. I think most polls do claim a (+) or (-) 3% margin of error either way though.
I agree Bob. The polls, to me anyway, are merely indicating a trend and in some cases may not be trustworthy.

Anything with a 6% error margin could not be dependable, especially in such a tight race and this one appears to be.
Oh no not the 47%.......................

Oh well, live by the polls, die by the polls. The polls will continue to slide for Obama. After he got destroyed in the dabate his team was left scratching their heads trying to come up with a way to spin his poor performance into a win. Turns out there was no way to do that since the president cannot campaign on his own record. So, in lieu of any remotely credible rebuff of the proposals of Mr. Romney the dems have now resorted to their default fall back tactic of name calling. We all wake up this morning and viola, Romney lied, lied, lied. There is one glaring problem with the dems position on this however.

Obama's argument---According to the president, the Romney numbers don't add up. The 5 trillion yada, yada. His argument is supposedly based on the calculus of Harvey S. Rosen, the John L. Weinberg Professor of Economics and Business Policy at Princeton University. So, what's the problem? Rosen has taken it upon himself to run the Romney numbers and they are sound. Summarizing, Obama's economic guru backs Romney's perspective, he has crunched the numbers and found them to be perfectly legitimate. Obama's own people agree with Romney, now what will his tack be?

The dems, when in power and, with the benefit of the president's 'bully pulpit' are in a uniquely strong position from which to launch their daily barrage of liberal propaganda. When in that position they can spin their own reality, which they dole out to the masses every day. Therefore, they can spin themselves into virtual saviors on the daily news loop, even though they've managed to drop the ball at nearly every turn. On the other hand they cast a laughably negative image of any political foe they may have to confront, especially republican candidates. That's why Romney blew Obama out of the debate and that's why they have no choice but to attack him, this time as a liar.

It won't work, Romney will win the presidency.
Check the updated Gallup numbers.

What are you seeing that is different than from this morning?

I still see Obama with a 50-45% margin from the period of Sept 30 - Oct 2, and the post debate period of Oct 4-Oct 6 has them deadlocked at 47-47.

This is what I am looking at.

Look at the main gallup page, to the right. This morning it was Obama approval at 48%, and Obama 49 Romney 46. Now it has Obama approval at 51, and the race at Obama 50 Romney 45, with a date ending at Oct. 7

So you agree that they are "tendy" when it's not what you want to see, but if Obama is ahead, then all of a sudden that has changed and we need to "check it out"??????

The electoral polls are around what way states normally go, one way or the other, as they usually do. Romney has never been in the lead in gallup. The swing state polls are telling what way said state is leaning at a particular point in time.

Romney has actually led in 7 gallup polls this year according to realclearpolitics.com FYI. And as recently as 6 weeks ago.

Swing state polls are showing Romney leading for the most part post-debate.

And the reason liberals love gallup = They typically poll registered voters, and not likely voters. The vast majority of people are registered voters, but a MUCH small % actually vote. LV polls consist of people who a)have voted before. b)live in the district they registered in. What we're seeing is typical of pop-voting. In 2008, the 18-23 demographic helped propel obama over the top. But in 2012, 40% of those same people no longer live in the district they voted in previously, and didn't update their registration. They also didn't request ballots to be sent to them. This is catostrophic for Obama.

My mom is a registered voter. But guess what? She has never voted in her life. Nor does she live even in the same state as she is registered. She gets polled.

Actions do speak louder than words. And true voters speak louder than polled voters. :moon:

You want to explain the numbers? Are the numbers Obama, or Romney? At any rate, Romney is behind 5 points right now, which is what counts today.

Romney is the BIG number. Obama is the little. Why would I post otherwise? And "check out" the gallup.com link I posted. Its got pictures!

And what matters most is telling the truth. Which you struggle with. And Romney is up in the majority of the polls now.

NEW POLL!!!
Clarus Research Group. Oct. 4, 2012. N=590 likely voters nationwide. Margin of error ± 4.

Romney 47, Obama 46!

On 10/2 Obama led by 4.

Getting better by the day!

How about you go with today, and a single poll that looks good for you.
I'll go with the rest of the polls that in unisen are showing Obama either losing his advantage, Romney leading, swing states going for Romney, etc. You don't like facts. I get it. But... I do.

You're like the scared little boy whistling in the dark, trying to keep your spirits up, but fooling no one....

I'm going to start a thread highlighting the many lies that you've been caught up in. It may take a while.... considering you've told several just in the past 30 minutes. :biglmao::biglmao:
