Gallup: Romney 51, Obama 45

By Martin Gould

Mitt Romney's momentum keeps growing as has opened up a six percentage point lead over President Barack Obama in the latest daily rolling poll of likely voters from Gallup.

Though the survey was taken before Obama's comparatively strong performance in Tuesday night's second debate, the survey shows that the White House is now Romney's to lose. The former Massachusetts governor's lead now stands at 51 percent to 45 percent among likely voters, up from a 50-46 percent figure on Tuesday.

With just three weeks to go until the election Romney also leads for the first time in a month among all registered voters, the venerable polling group says. That figure is narrower with the Republican up by 48 percent to 46 percent.

The survey is a rolling seven-day average through Oct. 16, and  Gallup only began tracking likely voters earlier this month, The Hill pointed out.

But the 6-point margin is Romney’s biggest lead yet in the survey, and coming less than three weeks before the election, shows momentum that may be hard to stop.

40 percent of eligible voters unlikely to vote

A recent poll by Suffolk University found roughly 40 percent of America’s eligible voters said they’ll probably sit out the November election.

David Paleologos, director the Boston university’s Political Research Center, called the poll a survey of the “Other America.”

The roughly 90 million that make up that group bring mixed possibilities for President Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney.

Of the 800 unlikely voters polled, 69 percent said they are registered to vote this year. And of those, 44 percent said they voted for Obama in 2008.

Another republican heard from ....................

I, for one, was insulted

I think I can see why the Republicans are in trouble. I was insulted by the piece I got in the mail yesterday. Very official looking envelope.

2009 OBAMA AGENDA SURVEY
REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE

Ohio 12th Congressional District ..... Dooley Household
QUESTIONNAIRE ENCLOSED FOR and then my full name, Joseph Bradford Dooley, and address ..... DO NOT DESTROY

I was impressed:

Your immediate action is required.
"As Chairman of the RNC I am sending out this questionnaire to gauge where you and other grassroots stand," etc., "I need to hear back from you right away".

DO NOT DESTROY

A BIG LONG ID Number ... and ..... it is "REGISTERED in my name and affixed with a tracking code to ensure that it is accounted for in the tabulated results."

And then, 15 stupid questions.

But then, the bottom 1/2 of the back page ..... Contribution Reply ....
Credit card number ...... amount to donate ..... Occupation ..... Employer ...... Email address .... Telephone number ................. very official.

Question 1
Do you agree with Barrack Obama's budget plan that will lead to a $23 trillion deficit over the next ten years? YES NO NO OPINION

Should English be the official language of the United States?

If the RNC thought I was going to fall for their tactics to get me to donate, they were wrong.

AND if I mailed it back, I had to pay the postage. I got one similar to it, recently, only they wanted me to buy "Maintenance Insurance" for my car.

If that is the mentality of the RNC in Washington, the party REALLY does have a problem, and the RNC has an even greater problem if they get many of them back.

AO9PQ003A 584779875 is my ID number.

I used my old Captain Midnight Decoder Badge to translate the ID number.

It translated to: DON'T READ SEND MONEY

And they wonder why they lost the election and the party isn't stronger.
