IBD/TIPP Post-Debate Poll: Romney up 5, 49% to 44%, gaining on all fronts
Don’t want to steal all their thunder. The breakdowns are as interesting as the top line. Purely by this measure – and it’s only one poll – Obama would have to get all undecideds and then some. There will be plenty of new polls coming out and state level numbers are increasingly important, now. But if you want to read some interesting numbers you’re sure to like, check out the full report: via IBD/TIPP POLL – Investors.com.
Obama – 43.7%
Romney – 48.7%
Not sure – 6.1%
Romney’s lead widened to 5 points from 2 points on Tuesday, as he continues to chip away at key Obama support.
Romney’s edge among independents widened to 20 points from 18 just a day before.
Jumping up and down! Yahoo!
So let me get this straight: We’re supposed to believe that this “daily tracking poll” produced a three-point increase in ONE DAY??
And we’re supposed to believe that a polling firm like Gallup, which has the race as completely tied up in likely voters, is somehow automatically off by FIVE POINTS? At the same time that Obama leads in the registered voter count by five points? And he has a +11 in his approval rating?
LOL
Post your links, LOL.
I think you are confused as to facts, but put them up.
No problem.
Go to http://www.gallup.com.
Look at the right-hand column. You will see the results for today: Tied in LV, Obama +5 in RV, and Obama with a +11 in approval ratings.
Gallup is in the business of doing tracking polls. They’ve done it for decades. They also sample a MUCH bigger sample than many other pollsters.
Understand that I’m not saying the race isn’t tied, or +1 one way or another. But the point is that it’s a tied race overall. And the fundamentals of the race simply don’t point to EITHER candidate having a +5 lead right now.
Gallup was, from its founding, a Left-leaning poll. If you doubt that, do some research into its questions.
I don’t mean to jump you too hard on this, but a three point move is hardly incredible.
Gallup is “left-leaning?” LOL. Now I’ve heard it all…
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, considering I’m posting on a website that uses the phrase “Socialize this post, not America!” as it’s motto.
But back on-topic, name another polling organization that has a stronger and more well-known reputation for their overall methodology and experience.
There is a reason why Gallup is the “go-to” organization that groups and companies tend to lean on when they want polling data on almost every subject imaginable.
And yes, in this case, a 3-point move is rather incredible. The election environment in general is simply not supportive of EITHER candidate being up by 5-points in Likely Voters.
Your lack of critical thinking…even the lack of any ability to research an assertion…tells us all about you.
“The fundamentals of the race” term came right out of an Obama comment.
Why dont you just share your research about Gallup? You seem to have the facts already. Or…do you?

Based on past performance in the last presidential cycle, Gallup is one of the LEAST dependable polls.
But your blind faith is touching…
