TPM Track Composite: Obama's Big Lead Inches Up Yet Again
By Eric Kleefeld - October 25, 2008, 5:03PM

Here's our daily composite of the six major national tracking polls. Barack Obama already-solid national lead may be inching up even further:

• Gallup: Obama 51%, McCain 44%, with a ±2% margin of error, compared to a 51%-45% Obama lead yesterday.

• Rasmussen: Obama 52%, McCain 44%, with a ±2% margin of error, compared to a 52%-45% Obama lead from yesterday.

• ABC/Washington Post: Obama 53%, McCain 44%, with a ±3% margin of error, unchanged from yesterday.

• Hotline/Diageo: Obama 50%, McCain 43%, with a ±3.3% margin of error, unchanged from yesterday.

• Research 2000: Obama 52%, McCain 40%, with a ±3% margin of error, unchanged from yesterday.

• Zogby: Obama 51%, McCain 42%, with a ±2.9% margin of error, compared to a 51%-41% Obama lead yesterday.

Adding these polls together and weighting them by the square roots of their sample sizes, Obama is ahead 51.6%-42.8%, a lead of 8.8 points, compared to the 51.6%-43.1% Obama lead from yesterday.

Why not just their sample sizes?

Or, more precisely, the standard error of a proportion is the square root of the product of the 2 proportions (e.g. .55, .45) divided by the sample size. In computer-style formula writing, SE=sqrt((p*1-p)/n).

only the mentally handicapped dittohead populace seems to accept their BS. Gee, what a surprise...

the populace would ever "get it". It takes time for CW to come around, doesn't it. Guess
the first clue was probably that they finally figured out that Bush was bad 75%

is probably worse... since he's a suck up follower to the religious right. My how some change stripes for power... desperate and phony.

July 2008: Palin on Ted Stevens: "we can help lead the rest of the U.S."

they go back a ways.... as Senator Stevens intimated, while Palin unabashedly concurred.
