1. He was at 39% yesterday...

3. The same pollster?

Rasmussen surveys nightly and uses 3 day average. A 1% variation from day to day would be entirely normal due to sampling error.

4. Well, you may be forgetting about those gasoline price voters

They tend to push up his ratings when the gas prices go down. And those family values voters are mighty forgiving when the bad boy or girl has an R next to his/her name.
