Will Romney overtake Obama on the RCP average?

[¡Cuatro años más!]

From Obama +4 to Obama +1.4 in less than a week.

The republicans on the forum will go bananas if this happens lol

We'll see next Monday and Tuesday when everyone releases their polling.

[Wolfentoad]

I would say no, but wait until monday and tuesday first. Obama will probably be .2 to .9 on the RCP Average.

[¡Cuatro años más!]

I'm thinking if it happens Romney will max out at around  0.5% ahead and then slowly decline.

[Devils30]

Yeah but it will only last a few days

[Secretary Polnut]

Romney needs to get ahead of Obama by a decent amount now to make sure it can last for a month. I expect them pull level by Tuesday at the latest...

[Likely Voter]

I just noticed that something big happened today for Romney. He hit an all time high of 47%, which is higher than when he pulled to a tie at 46.7 after the RNC. If the race settles to a tie in the next few days both would likely be higher than 46.7, maybe as high as 48% each.

But I think he will actually pass Obama this week by a little bit, which will be considered major news as it hasnt happened all year.

Yeah but it will only last a few days

[Secretary Polnut]

I'm not surprised - I always thought his  absolute floor was 45% so seeing greater GOP consolidation and a second look from some indies and soft Dems should surprise anyone to see him at 47%

[Governor Maxwell]

the highest Romney ever got was a .5% lead back when Obama's approval ratings where in the low 40s before the race was talked about. I think Romney can tie the race in the RCP, maybe even pull ahead by .1% though.

Bump...Romney is now the highest he has ever been on the RCP average..47.4%

[Lieutenant Governor Clinton1996]

Bump...Romney is now the highest he has ever been on the RCP average..47.4%

Obama is up by only .5"%. But RCP is including the wrong Gallup Tracking Numbers, they have the race tied at 47%, but Obama actually leads 50-45.

I would think the Liberals would be rather upset about this as well.

[Lief]

Depends whether or not RCP goes back to using the real Gallup numbers tomorrow.

[Secretary Polnut]

I would think the Liberals would be rather upset about this as well.

Not really, we understand context...

This seems like it was accurate. Anyways, I don't think Romney will pull ahead of Obama yet and I don't really think he needs to. There are still two more debates...
