Title: Will Romney overtake Obama on the RCP average? Post by: Ty440 on October 06, 2012, 01:04:52 PM From Obama +4 to Obama +1.4 in less than a week.
The republicans on the forum will go bananas if this happens lol () Title: Re: Will Romney overtake Obama on the RCP average? Post by: Warren 4 Secretary of Everything on October 06, 2012, 01:07:47 PM We'll see next Monday and Tuesday when everyone releases their polling.
Title: Re: Will Romney overtake Obama on the RCP average? Post by: Biden 2024 on October 06, 2012, 01:08:42 PM I would say no, but wait until monday and tuesday first. Obama will probably be .2 to .9 on the RCP Average.
Title: Re: Will Romney overtake Obama on the RCP average? Post by: Ty440 on October 06, 2012, 01:12:13 PM I'm thinking if it happens Romney will max out at around 0.5% ahead and then slowly decline.

Title: Re: Will Romney overtake Obama on the RCP average? Post by: Fmr President & Senator Polnut on October 06, 2012, 10:35:49 PM 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...
Title: Re: Will Romney overtake Obama on the RCP average? Post by: Likely Voter on October 06, 2012, 10:46:20 PM 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. Title: Re: Will Romney overtake Obama on the RCP average?

Post by: Fmr President & Senator Polnut on October 06, 2012, 11:01:00 PM 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%
Title: Re: Will Romney overtake Obama on the RCP average? Post by: Maxwell on October 06, 2012, 11:40:16 PM 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.

Not really, we understand context... Title: Re: Will Romney overtake Obama on the RCP average? Post by: 後援会 on October 08, 2012, 04:51:34 PM I would say no, but wait until monday and tuesday first. Obama will probably be .2 to .9 on the RCP Average. 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... |
