It could be a bad anti-Obama sample.

And, it could be high gas prices. The sample was very similiar to the sample that rolled off.

Meanwhile Gallup is at 43-50, the lowest in...quite a while.

Gallup is known for fluctuations.  The key number is the weekly number.  That 45% approval is fairly low.

Maybe Presidential numbers really do fluctuate wildly. Gas goes up; gas goes down.

That's why I said for no reason. As far as I know, there was no huge cataclysmic event yesterday that would have seven percent of the country to change their mind on Obama. And yes, if Obama was tied with Romney on one day and then suddenly leading him by 7 the next day, without some big event, then I would say the poll is suspect as well.

Greece defaulted on restructured their debt a few days ago. Subsequently, the markets, and media, have shrugged off the largest dollar default ever.
