Gallup Shows " Romney's 47% Tape" Bounce for Obama

[louis c]

That's my interpretation of today's numbers from Gallup Daily Tracking.

On Job Approval, which is a 3 day rolling average, Obama shows a 7 point improvement today, and has a 51% to 43% advantage.

On the daily horse race with Romney, which is a 7 day rolling average, which will take longer to see a surge, the number is 48% to 46%, Obama leads by 2.

In an article by Nate Silver, it was brought to my attention that Gallup and Rasmussen use only land lines and automated responses. Each of these techniques will skew the numbers toward Romney.

If that's the case, these numbers are sensational, when coupled with the swing state polls.

1. Gallup Uses Landlines And Cell Phones. Rasmussen Is The Robo Caller

In any case, the horse race average is a lagging indicator. The approve/disapprove is a leading indicator. Good chance the horse race numbers get better by mid week.
