Gallup: Romney Extends Lead to 7 Points In First Post-Debate Poll
If Barack Obama won Tuesday night’s debate on debate points, initial post-debate reactions seem to show Romney winning it on data points. Gallup, in the first poll to use reactions taken after the second debate, shows Romney expanding his lead from what was already his widest lead of the cycle yet (51-45) to the even more commanding 52-45. This is a full seven point gap. From Gallup’s explanation:
All registered voters are asked: “Suppose the presidential election were held today, and it included Barack Obama and Joe Biden as the Democratic Party’s candidates and Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as the Republican Party’s candidates. Who would you vote for [ROTATED: Barack Obama and Joe Biden, the Democrats (or) Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, the Republicans]?” Those who are undecided are further asked if they lean more toward Obama and Biden or Romney and Ryan and their leanings are incorporated into the results.
These results are for likely voters, who are the respondents Gallup deems most likely to vote based on their responses to a series of questions asking about current voting intentions, thought given to the election, and past voting behavior. Each seven-day rolling average is based on telephone interviews with approximately 2,700 likely voters; margin of error is ±2 percentage points.
Romney also leads by a point among registered voters. By way of comparison, Barack Obama led John McCain by just two points at this point in the cycle in 2008. In 2000, George W. Bush led Al Gore by 6, and was still hovering below 50 percent. And in 2004, the last time an incumbent President was up for election? Romney’s lead is almost as wide as the incumbent’s was, then. Bush led by 8 at this point in 2004.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 4:48pmYes, we need a socialist with an R instead. It’s much easier to get f**cked by the big red white and blue ***** when a R’s doing it. Um what socialist programs was Romney going to cut again? Nah never mind he thinks he make socialism work better than Obama.
“I believe we have a responsibility to care for one another.” Mitt Romney Sounds like socialism to me.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 5:47pm@godlovinmom, Absolutely not. I mean you can say that’s what Jesus wanted if you’d like, but the early progressives, new dealers, socialists, commies all thought we had a responsibility to help out our fellow man too. That’s what their philosophy revolves around. It’s immoral, theft and unconstitutional. It’s a form of collectivism and our society was founded on individualism.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 6:12pm@Darkjello And it could be much worse. What if the R’s get the Senate and Romney wants to get rid of guns again like he did in MA without any bipartisan hurdle? What if China dumps their holding of US bonds because we attack their ally? We know what the people advising him on foreign policy are all about. He’s a socialist/fascist globalist too only he’ll probably be able to get more stuff passed than Obama, which would be worse.

We do know that our current socialist system is destroying us. Tweaking it, isn’t going to do anything. Socialism doesn’t work. The only way to fix it is to purge it from the system ASAP.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 8:20pm@GodlovinMom, But they aren’t alert and even when they do know what they’re dealing with they call him the lesser of two evils. Romney supports essentially all of Obama’s major policies. Is more militant than Obama who is just as militant as Bush. The only good thing you can say about Romney is his energy policy is better. I suppose you can say his regulatory policies are better, if you actually believe he won’t change his mind AGAIN. See GB says there are SOME progressive in the GOP. The truth is the progressives CONTROL both parties and they stifled any dissent or our ability to challenge the status quo at the convention. That is not ethical in anyway and even non Libertarian conservatives are saying that. Romney supports socialist/fascist policies. There’s no substantial different between the two candidates and that’s the way the establishment wants to keep it. I see the only way to challenge the establishment is a legitimate 3rd party.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 10:45pm@Godlovingmom, Tea Party, Libertarians, Constitution Party, I don’t really care. It would seem beneficial if the three could bridge the gap we have between us and kick the old guard to the curb. The only thing that bugs me about the Tea Party, and it may be a misconception, is so many seem to be fine with most of the 2010 crop that betrayed their principles as soon as they made it to Washington. There voting record on our rights has been deplorable. Justin Amash and Rand Paul haven’t abandoned their principles, and they seem like two guys all three groups could rally behind. idk I know if I were to break it down in simplest terms I’d look for a laissez faire capitalist that’s an Austrian economist with an originalist interpretation of the Constitution. I could vote for anyone regardless of their party affiliation that fits those characteristics.

I personally can’t get over their votes for the NDAA, Patriot Act. etc. If we break down what I’m looking for they’re still the opposite. Keynesian economics and proponents of the Living Constitution Theory. I just can’t see any middle ground we can rally around. I know for myself, the BoR’s are almost sacred and think the only real job of the fed is to protect them.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 3:43pmBravo, Blackdiamondskier! I don’t think Obama really won the debate last time. He was just a lot more aggressive. I think Romney missed a chance, when he was asked how to deal with Apple that wanted to outsource building the new iphone, to tell the moderator that it is not the business of government to tell businesses where they buy whatever they buy. It’s not clear to me that Romney really understands the nature of the free market or what “freedom” really means. If he did, he would celebrate the Chinese who, by manipulating their currency, are giving Americans *bargains* in all kinds of goods! He would recognize that America has been better at providing new information than manufacturing goods for a while now, a fact recognized in all the business books! He would not talk about more tariffs with China or trade wars. Tariffs just raise prices on Chinese goods. I thought his business was to help us buy stuff at less prices!! When all is said and done, though, Romney does know a lot about creating jobs within our economy, though he doesn’t understand the economy itself. Obama, in comparison, knows how to do *nothing* of that sort. You’re talking about a highly trained business professional competing with a community organizer and a fine speaker and a lousy record! No points that Obama scores will change that fact. In the first debate, he looked like a sullen youngster. For many folks, it felt like the veil came off and we saw some of what Obama’s character really was lik

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 3:40pmWe all had an early clue to what the Obama administration was going to be when after the 2008 election Valerie Jarrett said, “We will be ready to rule day one..” We Americans don’t want a “ruler” we want a president–a person who presides over our government and works the details of our constitutional republic. Obama wants to be a ruler, a king, someone who can dictate rather than govern by consent. I think there are still enough of us to understand that. Our challenge will be after Romney wins will be not to fall asleep again.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 3:40pmWhen Romney wins, I sincerely hope he has his people gather up all the BO legislation and executive orders, administrative agencies, names of czars, etc. so that he can begin to undo it all on his first day in office. Right now the president has grabbed a TON of power for the executive branch. This is so incredible dangerous it goes without saying. Romney has the moral compass to realize that although this kind of power might benefit him personally, it’s wrong for the country.

NATE SILVER: Obama’s Odds Of Winning Have Climbed Back To 66%
Henry Blodget
Oct. 18, 2012, 4:43 AM
Obama’s odds of winning re-election have climbed back to 65%-70% since the second debate, according to three sources we’re tracking:
Nate Silver’s aggregate poll forecast
Intrade’s prediction market
Betfair’s prediction market
First, Nate Silver of the New York Times now gives Obama 66% chance of reelection. That’s up from a post-first-debate low of ~60% a few days ago. And Silver says the impact of Obama’s strong performance in the second debate hasn’t yet factored into the polls he looks at.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 3:10pmTwo headlines today everyone should know about:
BILL CLINTON: I thought Obama would cry…
At a campaign event for Barack Obama’s reelection campaign, Bill Clinton said: “Governor Romney’s argument is, we’re not fixed, so fire him and put me in,” said Clinton. “It is true we’re not fixed. When President Obama looked into the eyes of that man who said in the debate, I had so much hope four years ago and I don’t now, I thought he was going to cry. Because he knows that it’s not fixed.”

Hillary Clinton Trashes ‘Whining’ Women
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says in a new interview that she can’t stand “whining” by women who are unhappy with the work and family choices they’ve made in life and complain that they have no options.
Are we witnessing the Clintons’ opening salvo in a Clinton-Obama feud here? Is Hillary trying to mock her party’s base? Getting them riled up to go out and vote? But for whom?

In addition to that, I think he will get New Hapshire, Colorado and Iowa. Also remember, he has erased big deficits in a short time in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. He may not win those states, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he did. You could easily see Obama ONLY win Calif, Ore, Washington, MD, DE, DC, NJ, CT, RI and MA…
I have been predicting a 5-7 pt popular vote win for Romney since late August and now that is coming to fruition. You are not going to see Obama lose by 5 pts in popular vote and STILL win the Electoral College.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 3:36pmI disagree with your characterization in saying this is an ‘administration’, I contend it’s a regime and a communist one at that. The rest I agree with. End the regime end the madness.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 3:19pmI said you SOUND like one. Remember what they were saying in 2008? Stuff like, “good days ahead!” and believing that a new president will make things okay.
You sound like they did. Funny. Everyone just keeps switching places, trading the same old rhetoric, every 4 years. America’s short term memory is shot.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 5:08pmHow/what do you see as being different in a Romney term that will take a given day to “good day” status. Just trying to see if you are just throwing platitudes or if you can articulate the differences between the two and how that matters.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 6:59pmRothbardian…differences…where to begin..Mr. Romney would promote a business friendly enviroment… Mr. Obama…handouts….Mr. Romney would promote religious freedoms..Mr. Obama..restrictions…Mr. Romney…promotes good relations with our allies in the middle east…Mr. Obama..starts more fights over there and in addition alienates our allies…Mr. Romney respects all citizens…Mr. Obama..most devisive president I’ve seen in my lifetime..ie…rich against poor…citizen against illegal…black against white…women against men..THE LIST IS LONG my friend!

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 2:54pmJust remember, “conservatives,” that you are celebrating a Gallup poll, which we were just told last week was corrupt by your favorite “conservative” talking heads.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 3:07pmWe know the MSM is totally in the bag for Obama and many of the polling organizations are part of the MSM. If their own Obama-biased polls are showing this much of an advantage to Romney, that tells us things are extremely bad for Obama’s re-election chances.

Yep. And it was widely reported that these mainstream pollsters backed off of
their hard skew once it became common knowledge and threatened their cred.
This must have happened while you were asleep.

They ALWAYS cheat. Check the sampling from 2008
Late October, 2008 ——- Repub 24%——DEM 39% ——–Independent 32%

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 3:09pmWhy would he? Dude is an @$$ but he ain’t dumb. It all comes down to Ohio. Why do you think they’re all rocking Obamaphones there? Northern Ohio is every bit as corrupt as Chicago and all they need to do is bus some folks out to vote and bingo, they got it. He ain’t worried.
Y’all are too easily mislead by what you want to hear.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 4:58pmJesus Rothbard, Living in Ohio sucks right now. I get to listen to two internationalist socialist fascist hybrids talking about how they can better manage our socialist fascist system better than one another EVERY commercial break. And they’re both such miserable c**k suckers I spit up a little each time I heard one of them open their mouth.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 5:14pm@Just,
Dude I feel you. I’m so glad I moved out of there to a state where neither candidate spends a dime (TX). At least I don’t have to listen to that drivel on a daily basis. I could take no more of the Democratic People’s Republic of Ohio. The corruption, crime, cost of living and the cold were just too much to take anymore. Wish you the best one way or the other my friend.

Posted on October 18, 2012 at 3:31pmIt’s not enough to win the White House. We have GOT to win the Senate. That means defeating commie Sherrod Brown in Ohio.
His challenger is Josh Mandel. Polls are close. If you can throw a few bucks Mandel’s way, it will help:
