The inanity of the Chrysler ad didn't hurt the process ....
He is done - The independents have stopped moving towards him, and have turned back around to Obama ... (well, some of them did ...) .. The numbers are moving away from Willard, and they wont be coming back ....
Sandy killed it, and it's not ever coming back .... They are outta time and outta luck ....
Good bye !

(4,551 posts)One of the consistent polling weaknesses this year for Obama in some polls has been with Independents (even though it's hard to tell how many of them are truly Independents since many may actually be Republicans).
Several pollsters seem to be picking up movement from Independents towards Obama ( even Rasmussen today).

(4,551 posts)I find this odd.
Even Republican-leaning pollsters like Rasmussen have had good Approval numbers for Obama of 50% several times over the past 3 weeks.
So while these are good numbers overall from PPP, they actually appear to be low-balling some of Obama's numbers.
