Flashback: Gallup Had Carter Up 4 Points Over Ronald Reagan in September 1980

Gallup polling today put Obama ahead of Mitt Romney by 4 points after the godless DNC Convention.
Back in 1980 Gallup had Jimmy Carter up over Ronald Reagan by 4 points in mid to late September… And, Carter was up 8 points in October. In fact there was a published Gallup poll showing Carter up six among likely voters in a poll conducted Oct. 24 to 27.

This was posted by Jim Hoft (Gateway Pundit) on Saturday, September 8, 2012, and is exactly what I’ve been reminding everyone about for several month. The fact that Obama leads Romney now means nothing except for the fact that the one who often leads at the beginning of the 2-man race (after Labor Day) often winds up coming in second.

Ronald Reagan ended up winning by 9 points and taking 44 states.
