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:
