Really, I don't get your problem. What is the point? Never mind, I don't care. You aren't making any sense, and I've lost interest in whatever it is that seems to be upsetting you. You can spend the rest of the day going round and round with circular thinking if you'd like, I'd rather go kayaking.
I'm just trying to help you understand how a poll is taken and what a rolling average is. You said you didn't post the other two because they were taken Tuesday - Thursday. So was the RV poll you posted. I was just pointing out the difference you were claiming were nonexistent.
Oh dear. Where to begin. Yes, it's Friday. You got that one right. Because today, is well, today, you won't see any polls where respondents have been polled...today. Follow along. Todays polling (Friday) will be included in Saturdays poll. A rolling average. Simple, see?
I just can't resist when I read such.....unawareness (ignorance).
Today's Gallup shows Obama back up to 50% share of vote, with a 7 point lead. Just FYI, since there was another poster claiming the polls had already begun tightening.
We should expect to see some narrowing soon, but as of today it hasn't started yet.
Yup I predict a tight one on Election day, although Obama pretty much has the electoral college tied down with Virginia as a Blue state this year.

As Chuck Todd said it is not enough for McCain to move up, he needs to get Obama off of the 50% he won mark.
Obama is going to have two days of bounce- Monday and Tuesday- while McCain has at least two down days- after General Colin Powell endorses Obama on Sunday.
AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Key Points to remember folks.....please
1. More under aged 30 polled the any election in history! Yet historically, they simply do not vote!
2. Operation Chaos durring the primaries yielded millions of registered Democrats, whom are really republicans.
3. Rasmes and gallop are both basing their polls on a 90% democratic turnout, which would shatter all records.
4. Polling of 13-22% more Democrats then Republicans!
Combine all this with the Bradley affect that has experts predicting 2-7% swing and you have a dead even race!
Rasmes and gallop have Obama leading here in NC by 2%, yet local polling keeps showing McCain leading by 2%? I have reviewed the methods of both polls and the local poll here seems to use a more realistic approach.
90% Democratic turnout with a huge percentage being under aged 30, when historically only 35% of under aged 30 show up to vote? Give me a break! This race is dead even! Ask Obama, he knows it too
And the joker in the deck is named Powell.
