Mitt Romney expanded his lead today in the Gallup Daily Tracking poll.

As Karl Rove said earlier this week.

“This is the first time that Romney has hit 50 percent in the Gallup likely voter poll and the president has never hit 50 percent in the likely voter poll. And no candidate who has led in mid-October with 50 percent or more in the likely voter poll has ever gone on to lose.“

    Marooned in Marin commented:

    This is very significant! Because not just is Mitt above the 50% threshold that no candidate has lost with, but he’s consistently had a 6 to 7 point lead over the last few days. I still caution about us not getting cocky, but let’s keep the momentum going to Nov 6!

    Bill Mitchell commented:

    Gallup is the only pollster not drinking the 2008 turnout koolaid. They know the other pollsters will come around and want to be first.

    Patty commented:

    Romney’s four-point edge over Obama in likely voters’ preferences for president contrasts with Obama’s seven-point win over McCain in the 2008 election. To gain an understanding of the underlying dynamics of this shift, the following analysis contrasts the Obama versus McCain margins across major subgroups in 2008 with the Obama versus Romney margins in the full week of Gallup interviewing conducted Oct. 9-15. This shows that compared with 2008, Obama’s support is down the most among voters in the South, 30- to 49-year-olds, those with four-year college degrees, postgraduates, men, and Protestants. He has also slipped modestly among whites, Easterners, women, and Catholics.

    Many others have been giving Obama a second look and many aren’t happy with what they have seen.

    In order to repeal Obamacare, we must vote for Romney and we must vote all of the politicians who voted to pass Obamacare and all of those who voted against repealing it out of office. In other words, in most cases, this is the year we have to VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN.

    We must send a message to the Progressives that the battle to take our country back to our Constitution has just begun.

    Jugear’s campaign running on fumes — last hope is Allred’s old tactic of finding a ‘victim’ and hoping senile Scheiffer can steer debate his way.

    Obungle’s foreign policy is a minefield littered with problems — abandoning Israel / cowering to Russia on disarmament / ignoring Poland’s request for missile defense / failure to support independence movements in Iran, Syria, Egypt and backing Muslim Brotherhood/ fiasco in Libya and the coverup / shrinking military and projecting weakness to our enemies / . . . . ..
