3. Gallup is really...

the only daily poll showing an Obama slide...wonder why?

[Zynx]

5. Statistical variance. Let me put this in the following manner:

If these were snapshot polls and one taken a week ago showed a ten point Obama lead and now one showed a 7-point lead, what would you say?

[HughMoran]

6. Gallup 51-44, ABC/WAPO 52-45 - both "likely" voters

So, what are you saying?

[dennis4868]

8. right....

But Gallups is not stable...their poll seems to jump all over the place...but I get your point...seems like most of the daily polls are in the 5-8 Obama lead range...:-)

10. Zogby is the most wacked out, went from 12 to 4

Gallup and ABC tracked closely - from 10 to about 7, which the average lead is, you guessed it, 7!

9. Isnt Gallop a 3 day rolling average?

If so it went from Friday Saturday Sunday to Saturday Sunday Monday - Fridays are stronger polling days for Obama (from what I have noticed).

[Zynx]

4. Good. I think that brief blip in the polls has stabilized and will start trending up going into the

weekend.

[HughMoran]

13. Oh, but don't forget the weekend

People are gonna be in cardiac arrest on Monday, Nov. 3rd - Monday being Obama's worst polling day of the week - doh!

[Drunken Irishman]

7. I wish it would change in Obama's favor, however.

11. good

at least it stabilized

[DCBob]

12. Good solid leads. If these hold it will be a blowout.

Cheers!
