ROMNEY TOPS RCP AVG FOR FIRST TIME
— CAC

Go look at realclearpolitics.com right now. This dovetails with Ace's earlier post about RCP contributor Sean Trende's Obama V Gravity theory, and his efforts to fight losing in the polls.

Well the day of the flip has come. It may not last, but it is oh-so-good to see. Before Ace shoves my face in the dirt again...because he's fat.

Switch the graph to seven days, and enjoy yourselves.

28 This is a predictable result of Obama's positive policy oriented campaign. With all of Romney's lies and character attacks against Obama (good lord they way he has attacked Obama you would think Obama killed someone) Its not surprising that Romney has managed a temporary lead in the heavily republican skewed polls.

Obama needs to stop worrying about telling people about his positive accomplishments and vision for the future and go negative on Romney they way Romney has been going after Obama for months. He needs to expose Romney's Lies.

Romney is lucky to have the Media on his side but it doesnt matter because so few americans trust the lying media anyway. At the next debate, when the midia bias filter can't hurt him, Obama will talk directly to the American people and they will realize how much this great preisdent loves this country and wants to protect its principles from this Radical vulture capitalist who wants to send all of the jobs overseas and make poor people starve.

I feel sorry for you republicans, you are getting your hopes up, but Obama is going to crush them with a magnificent performance next week. Couple that with the absolute drubbing Joe Biden will deliver to that light weight short on details Paul Ryan and its going to be over.

Polls dont matter...Americans will never elect this america hating Mitt Romney over our great president who has sacrificed so much to heal this country and bring its economy roaring back with 1 million (114K added + 883K found) new jobs last month.

54 Greg, you dolt, the 883K increase in "jobs" includes the 114K (plus 600K "newly found" part-time jobs). You can cite 7.8% all you want, but most of the country realizes the economy is in the toilet. Better hope the household survey does not adjust for this blip in October.

78 Although I live in Chicago, I just conducted a presidential poll for New Jersey. Results: ROMNEY 68%; OBAMA 32%

Right now, my error of margin is +/- 55%, but I can

CONCLUSION? Who cares what the MOE is? I see a Preference Cascade shaping up before my very eyes and MR. Obama is TOAST (mathematically speaking, of course)

WARNING! Do NOT let my super scientific poll lull you into a sense of complacency!!!! Unless you die in the interim, be prepared to crawl over acres of broken glass to get to the polls on November 6.

We've been waiting 50 YEARS for this moment, and I'll be god#amned if we let it pass because of laziness. If you are dead, you WILL require a written excuse from your doctor. Otherwise, I expect to see your asses in line at the polls.

Oh, another thing VOTE STRAIGHT REPUBLICAN- We need to retain the House, regain the Senate (yes, it would be nice to see Akin show up on swearing-in day as opposed to Claire McCaskill) and PRESIDENT ROMNEY to lend adult supervision for the country going forward.
