They appear to have shifted to a 3 day moving average - so this is Friday through Sunday

This is definitely NOT what I expected to see when I went to Gallup!! This is fantastic and may restore some of my faith that people actually do not think lying is cool.

1. It's 50 - 45, not 50 - 46. n/t

6. Thanks! I was so excited that my poor typing skills became worse

[BumRushDaShow]

21. LOL

I know the feeling.

2. Well, somebody must be reading other Gallup polls backwards

15. Different time periods

This includes the days October 5, 6, and 7. It may be that Romney had great numbers on October 4 and possibly the 5th - and then the jobs numbers and the fact that Romney was lying may have really moved things back to where they were.

The 7 day must have included a big bump - that then dissipated - likely on the 4th.

33. Whew, thanks

[BumRushDaShow]

3. The 7-day is still on the side of the front page and is 50 - 45. n/t

[karynnj]

8. It says Oct 5-7 at the top

I think this means they moved to 3 days

[ProSense]

12. It's still seven days

This is for Oct 1 - Oct 7

[gcomeau]

13. It says Oct 1-7. -eom

...

[AtomicKitten]

4. Well that's reassuring.

thanks for the uplifting post

[gcomeau]

5. No, they have not shifted.

They made one press release saying what the three days after the debate looked like, and RCP decided to treat that as a completely separate poll so they could juice Romney's numbers in their average, but the tracking poll is still the 7 day average.

The three good days he had post-debate will weight the average down a little longer then fall off. That we're at +5 with them still on there is *really* good.

7. HEY

[Tarheel_Dem]

16. Thanks for that. It doesn't help when we freak out over every poll. It feeds the trolls.

[ProSense]

9. Obama 50, Romney 45. President's approval at 51

Despite reporting the three-day tie, Romney never led in the tracking.

[flamingdem]

[grasswire]

14. oddly enough, the Freepers haven't posted this news!

Crickets over there.

[BumRushDaShow]

23. It's crickets on the TV too after they posted the Gallup 3-day "blast"

I wonder why?

[Iliyah]

31. BumRushDaShow - LOL, where are the TRUTHERS!

[DisabledAmerican]

18. stop spinning. You evil people are just spinning

You do not want to accept Reality stop spinning this!!

[Cha]

37. I like my reality better!

[treestar]

19. Great, and the M$M was not able to spin its debate memes

Into poll results.

[reformist2]

20. Beautiful chart... one good performance by Obama and he'll go up to 54.

You can almost tell that the undecideds want to vote for Obama, they're just waiting for him to give them a reason. So Obama, give the people a reason! Show them you want to be their (our) president another four years, and you've got it!

[Maven]

22. Shove your gish gallop up your ass, Mitt

[OldDem2012]

24. BUMP! Why is this post not getting more attention?? nt.

[DisabledAmerican]

25. because it isn't a doomsday poll that mitt Romney got a huge bounce

[OldDem2012]

26. Well, then, I guess I'll keep posting to keep the thread alive! nt.

[DisabledAmerican]

29. no you have to listen to the DU doomsdayer they are right we are wrong

The polls are wrong only the DU doomsdayer know what happen. Only their view is right and we are just evil spinners who can not face reality.

[Kingofalldems]

27. K and R for all the Cave visitors

Hahahahaha!

[highplainsdem]

28. It's a 7-day average. Obama's approval rating is a 3-day average, and that's bounced back up to 51%

today, up 3 since yesterday.

[L0oniX]

30. YAwn

[OldDem2012]

32. You must be one of those who believe the polls are tied. nt.

[L0oniX]

41. Nope ...just tired of all the poll chasing. n/t

[Cha]

38. Why so

[Drab]

34. MSM are spinning numbers to make the election closer than what it is.

This is good news!

[railsback]

35. Romney will NEVER get over 45%

Just the cold, hard facts.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

36. All the polls show slight differences. The real concern is voting.
