7 Point Shift! (+3 Approve -4 Disapprove) Obama over 50% again w/Gallup Approval/Disapproval today

7. That's exactly right...

...and it's a relief to see that others see through Gallup and Rasmussen and their tactics. It is very clear. But so many don't see it. One clue was Mitt's manufactured "momentum." It was a last-gasp attempt to tighten the swing states before e-day.

As you explained, these pollsters can't lose all credibility. As e-day draws near, they have to work their numbers back to reality. If they're too far off in the days before the election, people will remember and the poll's credibility is be tainted.

These polls can only be used as propaganda tools for so long. If anything, all of this (especially the manufactured momentum) is a real clue that Romney is losing and he knows he's losing. Same with all of the bluffing about close polls. It's getting ridiculous at this point, but you can't fault them for trying, I guess.

I agree with you, that most of the national polls will continue to move in Obama's favor--back to reality.

I'll never understand how the right bamboozled their fans into putting so much stock in the national polls anyway. They hang onto them like toddlers with pacifiers. It's the state polls that matter. And clearly, Obama is ahead in most of the swing states, and he will win Ohio.

Thanks for your thoughts. I look forward to watching all of these polls move upward for Obama.
