Gallup 7-day average Obama 48% (+2) Romney 44% (-2)

[WI_DEM]

President Barack Obama has increased his lead, slightly, over Mitt Romney.

A Gallup Poll released Friday showed an increase of two percent for Obama and a decrease of two percent for Romney, with Obama leading 48-44.

The data is based on a seven-day rolling average.

“Those who are undecided are further asked if they lean more toward Obama or Romney and their leanings are incorporated into the results,” Gallup reported.” Each seven-day rolling average is based on telephone interviews with approximately 3,050 registered voters; Margin of error is ±2 percentage points.”

A Rasmussen Poll released Friday also shows Obama ahead of Romney, but by a smaller margin of 47-46.

1. Closing in on 50%.

Good news.

2. Why isn't the result of the poll showing Obama 88% to Rmoney 12% (+ or - 2%)?

What would happen if Obama would stop supporting policies which he sometimes calls "centrists" ones?

If he supported traditional Democratic policies and the policies that he supported in 2008, wouldn't his polling numbers go up?

5. Huh??

40% of the US would vote for turd as long as it was an R-turd.

3. The numbers are looking better.

4. Polls keep it close

so the money keeps flowing into adds, IMO. An upswing in the economy would help but there are others who are doing their best to prevent that.

6. Keep on informing all Seniors (and soon to be Seniors) about the rw 'vouchers' ...

I don't think that, once properly informed, any of them (except millionaires, maybe) will still vote for them.
