Gallup: Obama Up By 7

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, McCain, Polls

Obama loses one and McCain gains one to pull this race a little closer. However, Obama has been leading by at least 7 points for 10 days now, and with one debate left I have to wonder if there’s really anything significant that can happen to turn it around for McCain.

Of note…now Gallup will be sharing “likely voter” models on a daily basis, and they show a slightly tighter race. However, Obama is still at or above the 50% threshold in the additional numbers.

More tomorrow…

    Gallup’s likely voter model, which the GOPers will try to trumpet, are based on outdated turnout models. They mean nothing. The GOP has ceded all turnout advantages this election, both in enthusiasm, and field operations. The days of disinterested youth and minority voters is over, thanks to the disastrous years of GOP governance.

    I am totally disgusted by the attempts of ACORN to steal the electon for Obama. I am going to cast my vote for McCain/Palin and all the doomsday polls and media bias will not discourage me. I can understand young people being easily fooled by someone like Obama and his friends. We shall see what happens.
