I'll Bet Gallup Wished They Didn't Release Two Polls On The Same Day

1. I don't mind them releasing these polls

they do MANY polls.

The PROBLEM is that the lamestream media ran with a post-debate "3-day" and tried to compare that with their previous reported 7-day national poll numbers. The comparison was disingenuous and only goes to prove that they are trying as hard as they can to do the "horse race" meme.

3. That Is The Perfect Example Of How Even A Fact,Misused, Can Be Misleading

I have no doubt that Romney polled well in the glow of his debate performance and if you stopped there he would be polling well. However the glow is already wearing off as we have seen in the PPP, Rasmussen, and Gallup polls.

2. depends on what the goal was

if they did it on purpose to allow the media to create a horse race

4. They didn't release 2 polls.

They released details of portions of their one 7 day tracking poll along with the actual tracking poll and everyone got confused as hell and *thought* it was 2 separate polls.
