polls that Obama leads in.

I just think there is something wrong with them generally. Aren't they supposed to post every day, not be stuck on two or three days ago?

You're reading the page wrong. The results update every day at 1pm EST

He says the 4 main tracking polls, Rasmussen, Gallup, Rand and Ipsos all combined are above 3% for Obama. They were the same the week before as well even though Gallup was better for Obama last week. Obama seems to have at least a 3% lead nationally and is ahead in major swing states right now.

...takes a longer time for major events (e.g. the 47% remark) to factor in

Shouldn't they be showing...

09/15-21/2012 today the 21st?

Or at least

09/14-20/2012?

realclearpolitics has gallop's 19th data there for two days or more.

When does gallup update? Aren't they daily? Are they late?

That's what I'm asking.

.. *then* they will be showing up until 9/20. The 9/21 interviews get conducted through today then they'll show up tomorrow.

rass has had romney up for the majority of the last week and a half, but there is not record of it on realclearpolitics. there is a whole week of rassmassan's polling that is missing. they are fudging their numbers to make it look like they aren't the only ones out of step with all the other polls.

'DemzRock', this is the link to use every day at 1:00 pm. On the right-hand side is where the Daily Tracking poll is updated.

Which it must've said yesterday too according to rcp. Oh, well, I will check it at 1pm. Thanks!

Come on guys, we should know better.

They are polling people in the South and states like Montana, Idaho etc that Obama has no chance at winning and will lose by great margins. The fact that Obama is even when those are included is a great sign. It's all about the state polls and Obama is in a clear lead there. He'll wind up with a low popular vote %(51-52%) but I predict an electoral landslide, maybe the same as 2008.

Montana came within 3 points of voting for Obama in 2008, and while that probably won't happen this year, it's nowhere near as red a state as Idaho. Bill Clinton won Montana in 1992 and almost did it again in 1996.

By contrast, Idaho hasn't voted Democratic since LBJ in 1964.

Montana may turn blue in the next decade....

The head of it was cozy cozy with Bush and Rove.
