Just one question, if numbers dont lie ( actually the lie is in the fool interpreting them) then why is this number different from the ones showing the reverse?
Stormy:
As you know the gallup poll is one of the most reputable polls in the US.
Romney 47; Obama 46
The leader of the gallup poll at this point has won 12 of the last 15 presidential elections----that's a fact.
RE: OTHER POLLS WHICH SHOW OBAMA LEADING
As you may have noticed, Obama maxes out at 47% in most polls.
Now, for the past 25 years this(47%) has roughly been the floor for democratic candidates---all Obama has done to date is consolidate the democratic base.
RE: OBAMA'S APPROVAL
It maxes out at 47%---this is a red flag for Obama.
Incumbents rarely win voters who disapprove of their performance in office.
CONCLUSION:
PRESIDENT OBAMA WILL BE DEFEATED IN NOVEMBER!
Will Obama lose by a landslide ?
That's the big question!

I know the practice of designing polling instruments better than you since once I worked a short stint for what is still a reputable polling firm. I also know they are snapshots of trends and these can change like a slip on a banana peal in an instant. The idea that Obama will lose by a land slide is also piss pot predicting. Rasmussen whose polls you often use as your mantra has an electoral college map and it presently has Obama ahead with more toss up states in his favor. Plus the real polling of women being up some 10% for Obama is a fly in your predicting ointment.
