We've been hearing a lot about Obama's massive advantage among early voters. Especially by certain members of this forum. Gallup puts an end to that nonsense.

]Romney Leads Among Early Voters, Similar to His Likely Voter Lead[/b]

By 19% to 15%, a slightly higher percentage of Republicans than Democrats have already voted. When those who intend to vote before Election Day are factored in, the gap is similar: 37% of Republicans vs. 33% of Democrats.

However, when one looks at the voting intentions of likely voters according to candidate support, the political impact for the two candidates appears to be roughly equal. Of Barack Obama's supporters, 15% have already voted and a total of 33% indicate they will vote early. Of Mitt Romney's supporters, the figures are 17% and 34%, respectively

Romney currently leads Obama 52% to 45% among voters who say they have already cast their ballots.

The Obama early voting advantage is a process story that the Obama campaign has tried to spread recently in an effort to mitigate the damage from the national and battleground polls moving against them. Unfortunately for them, pollsters actually looked into their claims.

We'll know who wins in a week. How much time can one spend arguing pointlessly about predictions of a future that will become clear so soon?

Especially since theres so little at stake and the office of the president doesnt have the power to actually solve any of the problems these people are campaigning on anyways. Im a little suprised anyone would even bother voting.

I question things because I am human. And call no one my father who's no closer than a stranger

There are stakes (how high depends on one's perception) for two posters here; punk'd and kraychik have made a bet.

Yes we have seems though that Kraychik has already seen the tea leaves and is now gone. I will honor the wager regardless but I think I am safe.

Well, if one of you has to go...I know who I'm rooting for. smile.png

Hint: it ain't the guy whose every response is a lengthy soliloquy about my ignorance.
