First polls taken after 2nd Presidential debate: Romney draws farther ahead

[Little-Acorn]

In the first polls that include data taken after the Oct. 16 Presidential evening debate, Romney has pulled farther ahead.

Yesterday (before latest data was included) Romney was ahead by 1% in the Rasmussen six-day rolling poll, and ahead by 5% in Gallup's 3-day rolling average.

Today, after data taken Oct. 17 was included, Romney is now ahead by 2% in Rasmussen and 7% ahead in Gallup.

The trend continues.

Pundits are also pointing out an interesting statistic:

Never in the history of the Gallup poll, has a candidate who was ahead by 7% or more at this point in the campaign season, lost the election.

The Democrat Senate and House should be falling too. That Moderator Candy Crowley was a good example how the media is far left. If Candy Crowley was neutral and didnt interupt Romney,,Then Obama might had gained ground. You see its the Votes that count. That type of referee stuff might work in the NBA,NFL or in Baseball but it doesnt work in political debates Umpires might have stopped my O's from going to the World Series and Refs might have stopped my Ravens from entering the Super Bowl but Candy Crowley cant deny Romney from the white house. You see it does not matter what Candy Crowley and the mainstream media think. ITS WHAT THE AMERICAN VOTERS THINK! The Sooner MSNBC & CNN learn that the better off theyre be!

BO gave the fringe what they wanted but that is a double edged sword as he's seeing.
But he may well believe he cleaned Romney's clock, he is painfully out of touch. Note the missus (inappropriately) clapped when he tried to deride Romney for being wealthy.

It's just a hoax. The result of this election is pre-decided. It will be Obama. All these polls are just stage-show.

Take the random Gallop out and Obama went up...you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see when you have that many polls and then one is that far off...there was something off on that pool. its 2 1 1 2 one way..1 2 2 1 the other and one just says 7! ...Its called a outlier...Statistically its overvalued and skews the numbers....
