While various other votings show a closer race, the latest Gallup poll results on Thursday found that Mitt Romney has a seven-point lead over President Barack Obama. The respective poll became public knowledge just as Obama admitted his administration's mishandling of an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya, which resulted in the deaths of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.

The president recently made an appearance on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and addressed the terrorism mishap to the host.

"Here's what I have to say: If four Americans got killed it is not optimal. And we are going to fix it, all of it," he said. "And what happens during the course of a presidency, you know the government is a big operation at any given time, something screws up and you make sure you find out what's broken and you fix it."

The Gallup poll, which runs daily, found that Romney has built a 52-45 percent advantage on a national level amongst voters, which is the largest margin in the campaign. The latest findings also showed that the Republican presidential hopeful won over many of the undecided voters.

However, the results have surprised a slew of pollsters, who questioned its accuracy since almost every other survey has found the two candidates on more of a dead heat race.

"That's the wildest margin anyone has gotten," Marist College pollster Lee Miringoff stated to the Daily News.

Miringoff said that Gallup uses a sophisticated formula that focuses on swaying voters who are likely to change the results. The poll was taken over the course of seven days through Wednesday, meaning that it only included one day of data since the second presidential debate in Long Island, N.Y on Tuesday, Oct. 16.

On the contrary, two polls were released on Thursday night that had Obama maintaining leads in two of the battle ground states his campaign is honing in on.  A joint poll of NBC News, the Wall Street Journal and Marist College found the president with a 51-43 percent lead in Iowa and ahead by a 51-45 percent margin in Wisconsin.

The two candidates are set to debate one last time on Monday, Oct. 22, at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla., at 9 p.m. ET.
