Will Obama's 78% "Sandy" Approval Ratings Move The Polls?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Even a point or two would be significant.

[RomneyLies]

1. Yes

But too late to really register in public polling before election day.

It will, however, register at the polls on election day.

2. I would think so especially in the states that do not

offer early voting...

3. Polling over the weekend will catch it

yesterday with the live network break in of the joint press conference and tour was the bounce moment. It usually is the next day or two after you see the movement.

4. Let me take the question a bit further.

What "reddish" or tossup states were affected by Sandy & got major help from FEMA?

Those are the places where the point or 2 (or maybe more) would really help. 2 more points in NY or VT are--uh--kinda pointless when it comes to the Electoral College.

5. Definitely!

The debacle of Bush's handling of Katrina is what finally opened people's eyes about him.

Let's face it, in a disaster of that magnitude, everybody with a heart recognizes that people need help and they recognize competence (and incompetence) when they see it.

Obama's handling of this disaster will cause some people who are still on the fence to vote for him. They know it would be "every man for himself" in such situations if Romney were in office.

6. You betch ya!

[rock]

7. Yep

What would the point be in approving of one and voting for the other?

8. I think it will help him in Wisconsin....

I'm from there. Infrastructure is important in that state.

Suddenly infrastructure is a topic in the election.
