Gallup Places Obama in Positive Territory for first time in 2 Months

[louis c]

Other than an occasional blip, President Obama has been in negative territory in Gallup's daily tracking poll over the last two months. Sometimes it has reached a minus 9 point spread. However, President Obama and the Democrats have begun to play offense and voters have taken a closer look at the alternatives. Gallup now has the President at Plus 2. Even the Republican leaning Rasmussen has a nearly even split at 49% positive to a 50% negative for Obama. These numbers are an uptick and should indicate that Democrats are coming home. Now, if Democrats can get enthused enough to vote, we may be OK in 5 weeks. Let's hope so.

5. Ya, I'm sorry. I know it's 3 weeks

I don't know what came over me. I'm working on two campaigns here and I know it's 22 days. You're right, 5 weeks from now will be much too late.
