down 1 for Romney

(1,835 posts)If Obama and Romney are TIED in Ramussen, this means Obama is winning on Tuesday baby!!! I can't believe this!!! After how dark things looked in August 2011 with the debt ceiling debacle, the erroneous zero new jobs report in September, the worst midterm election drubbing in 65 years, for Obama to come back like this and get a 2nd term is the most stunning comeback in all of American political history. It was so hard to keep the faith during the down times in 2011, but now I feel confident in saying 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!!

(336 posts)but I think he can't touch Clinton for comebacks. Obama's never looked finished - besieged, yes, but beaten never. His presidency has been a war of attrition and luckily he appears to be made of granite.
Clinton on the other hand looked dead in the water several times and came right back, in 1996, 1998 and in terms of his post-office reputation.

(1,828 posts)I really looked forward to Gallup's shame. But Sandy let the worst pollster of the cycle off the hook. Sigh.

He's only close/losing with LV screens in place. GOTV >>> pollster's LV screens.

(4,551 posts)It's now 48-48.
Looks like Rasmussen got impatient holding Romney's numbers up and realized he couldn't wait any longer to begin his poll realignment.
Here's Scotty's report today:
