2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumGallup - Obama (+4) one week after the Health Care aftermath
So, after all the hullabaloo of the past week, it doesn't look like there has been any major change yet, at least not according to this pollster.
Obama is basically where he was. He hasn't gained support, but he hasn't fallen off the cliff either.
Obama = 48%
Romney = 44%

(308 posts)Ruling came out on 6/28, so there's still a day (eg. 6/27) of pre-Supreme Court polling, but when tomorrow's tracking poll is out, it will be all post 6/28.
6/27 - 7/3

Obama remains at +4 in GALLUP yet again today. The date range is now June 28-July 5 for this tracking poll which means its polling started on the day of the Supreme Court ruling and takes in the past week up until yesterday.

A mixed back today. Obama went from a (+4) lead in Gallup down to a (+2) lead.
On the other hand, he went from being (-2) in Rasmussen to a TIE.
Rasmussen also gives him 50% approval to Gallup's 47%.
Gallup Tracking [Obama +2]
Obama - 47
Romney - 45

(14,543 posts)had something like this come up with Bush, it would have been universally hailed a BIG BUSH WIN and CRUSHING DEFEAT for the Dems.
The USA TODAY had two articles on the ruling two days after.
One was "Rs predict HC ruling will help cause in the fall" or something along those lines.
The other, an op ed by some DLC type in "Dems need to be careful about gloating over HCR ruling."
The "liberal media' VERY effectively took what was a MASSIVE win for this president (and country) and turned it into a pile of shiite for the president and good news for the jerkoffs who lost.

(4,309 posts)I was overjoyed with the decision but concerned that there would be some major blowback in the polls. Very happy to see that is not the case. I really can't believe 44% of this country supports Romney!
