It's been entertaining. And, to answer your question, there is no reality at Rasmussen. Although, I do believe that after Pres. Obama was elected they did release a new poll showing McCain with only a 2 point lead.

...Gallup has also shown the President's lead dropping (he's still +5 there, but, since it's a seven-day poll, there are still a lot of "early bounce" days about to drop off). The race does appear to be tightening again. More surprising to me is that it doesn't seem as if Romney's Libya gaffe is having any negative effect whatsoever in the polls.

I think that Gallup is reflecting the dropoff of the big days, that's all. Whether or not it stabilizes now is the question.

Right now, the oldest polling day in the Gallup results is the day after Obama's acceptance speech. It figures that those numbers would be very favorable. I would guess probably the same for the Saturday after the convention. As I said before, I could easily imagine the lead dropping by a point each day for the next two, leaving the race O+3 by Sunday night. (By which time, I would assume, Ras will have Rmoney up by double-digits. )

So suck on that freepers.

A word to the newbies on DU though... Why is it that new people seem to be the ones that post the bad polls most often? Weird.

His last poll was an extreme outlier too. Matter of fact, to see if your poll is right you hope his says the opposite.

...was a comment I heard from a pollster earlier. By now 99% of the electorate has decided and it's that small number of either "undecideds" or just outright unattentives that are left to sway. Hundreds of millions are to be waged at trying to move a point here and a point there but these numbers are starting to "stiffen" and its not looking good for the Bishop.

Here's hoping the great unhinged believe those polls and figure the election's a done deal...they stay home and eat lots of cheetos.

Did it get a look at Kate Middleton's topless photos?

It'll make their rage and tears so much sweeter election night. If the President wins, as soon as it's called, I will put on faux news and revel in their angst (not the prettiest part of my personality but whatever).

Keep saying that Rass and Pew research Poll we named the the two most accurate poll researchers in 2008

In 2008, they leaned GOP all summer. And then, in that last week, suddenly Obama was up in their polls.
