Gallup has released its final top line presidential numbers, and they show a storm surge helped President Obama among likely voters. But Gallup still shows a narrow Romney lead, 49-48. Romney had led in the Gallup rolling poll by as many as seven points before Hurricane Sandy struck the east coast.
The fact that the incumbent stayed below 50% in the final poll, after the bump he received from Hurricane Sandy relief, is very significant. The poll concluded gathering data on Nov. 4, and complaints about the Obama administration’s handling of the hurricane have grown louder. Incumbents who cannot break 50% in polls tend to lose.
Either the American Public is even more shallow and fickle, dare I say even more stupid than I dreamed, or these polls are an absolute farce of coalescing herd mentality.
So I am to believe that a positive Chris Christie comment about Barack Obama thanking him for allocating government assistance, for the advent of a storm that now has people begging in the streets for food and water, another disastrous performance by FEMA on par with Katrina, looting and riots, shortages of fuel…
Just moved 1 in 25 voting Americans to change their vote from Mitt Romney to Barack Obama after four years of unmitigated failure?
Really?
I’m not buying it anymore.
Tex, read Mencken.
Hell, no, sister. America was watching the Giants!
