Rasmussen showing a 3-point move toward McCain
... making the gap 5%. That's quite a jump for a poll that tends to show small movements day-to-day. To what do we attribute this?

McCain often sees a slight bump on Mondays or Tuesdays. For some reason he polls better over the weekend. Bizarre.

Gallup Traditional and Expanded both followed Rasmussen today, each moving 3% toward McCain.
Traditional gap is now 2% Obama; Expanded, 7%.

Leaving aside movements in the national polls, what about the all important array of battleground states?
The 538 guys seem to have a solid handle on accounting for poll variability, with an eye toward the states that really count. (For example, yesterday's projected electoral count for Obama was 355. A slight move toward McCain, but an enormous mountain for McCain to climb) www.fivethirtyeight.com |
