People still believe the Gallop Poll? They did not do very well predicting the election outcomes.

Maybe because he has come out and demanded that everything will be his way or nothing.

People did not vote FOR obama - they voted against the other guy like they did in 2008.

We have never had a president so determined to rule like a king as obama.

"People did not vote FOR obama - they voted against the other guy like they did in 2008."...............Your opinion holds no water. Everyone I know enthusiastically voted for Obama. What the possibility of a Romney WH did accomplish, however, was a greater Dem turn out at the polls. 4.5 million more popular votes than Romney and 128 more electoral votes isn't a "landslide", but compared to the media-hyped "dead heat", it was a clear mandate for the Dems.

The Gallop Poll has lost all credibility after showing Romney an average of a full 7 points ahead of Obama in the end. Even Rasmussen looked better by "only" showing Romney ahead an average of 3-4 points throughout the campaign season. Once respected, Gallop is now viewed as a far right wing pollster (just like Ras and FOX).

You do know that the there were 8 million less voters in 2012 than in 2008.
