Obama camp reacts badly to a bad-news Gallup poll

4:43 pm Oct. 15, 2012

The Obama campaign sent out a quick response to a new Gallup-USA Today poll this afternoon showing Mitt Romney opening up a lead in some key swing states, and pulling even among women voters.

The poll of twelve swing states shows Romney ahead among likely voters 51 percent to 46 percent. The sudden shift, according to Gallup, is due to Romney closing his substantial gap among likely women voters, who are split evenly in the survey, after months of favoring Obama by a substantial margin.

The Obama memo, written by top pollster Joel Benenson, calls the finding "an extreme outlier, defying the trends seen in every other battleground and national poll."

The problem, according to Benenson, is that Gallup's screening process for determining likely voters skews toward Romney supporters. Among registered voters, the survey shows Obama with a nine-point lead among women.

Benenson, who will serve as a pollster for Christine Quinn's mayoral race next year, also included a chart showing a number of other post-debate state polls, which show Obama leading by 10.3 points.

Still, it might not be great news when the campaign snaps to attention to protest polling methods.

Once again, the next US presidential election will be fixed. Mitt Romney will be elected even though Barack Obama would have received more votes in the 2012 election. The political assassination will be perpetrated by Bush hiding behind Crossroads GPS, the most influential group of Neocons.

The Neocons will have Mitt Romney elected to first use him and then let him fall easy prey. All blames and responsibilities will fall on the new Mormon president for the events already planned.

The new World War of Religion is already a done deal behind the backs of all people which will be forced to fight for their own Countries in their obligation as citizens

Since 9/11 it's the War on Terror
One "false flag" attack so called by error
Blair, Bush, and Israel had a Pact in store
Their next surprise is knocking at your door
A hidden vile Idea from those who want "more"
will use you and your Belief for the next World War
As "chosen people" gain while Humankind loses
Greed wins not by the swords but by the words of Moses
Daring is to tell you when, better then to tell you rhymes
could not side with either one to get ready for our times
to look beyond and past today to seek for a solution
one only hope is there for you and spells Wavevolution
