1. I swear Gallop and Raz are in cahoots to have one of the two polls...

give hope to the GOP.

2. This might be the effects of the 47% comment showing

Though Gallup is a head scratcher sometimes. Why it got down to even, I don't know.

5. Perhaps, perhaps not

While Gallup did go down to a tie for a few days, that may just have been as a result of a couple of bad days of polling for Obama (perhaps during the Libya crisis?) and now is going back up because there were some bad days for Romney (the 47% etc.) It's possible that Gallup's numbers have been legitimate.

It's Rasmussen, as usual, that is still the odd one out today that is showing Romney tied.

3. Approval had a crazy jump upwards

Could Gallup be adjusting their polling to match others' demographic assumptions?

4. better late than never.

I suspect their numbers will now begin to make more sense.
