Excuse the points of discontinuity in the graph, but it is appropriate considering how these pollsters are thinking. I swear if you did a graph of their brainwaves it would be a four-cusped hypocycloid.
This actually mirrors the Susquehanna PA poll, which took 2 points off of Romney and added them to Obama this weekend.
I can see Obama gaining 2 points from the undecideds last week. But what could make 2 points worth of voters who had said they were voting for Romney previously change their mind? I can only assume Obama’s running effective negative ads in some states. I haven’t seen many Obama ads in PA.
To me this is close enough that an unexpected Tea Party surge could come in and close the deal for Romney. What worries me there is a last-minute surge of Obama-mania, from the braindead folks who barely even knew there was an election coming up until the last few days. If they haven’t been paying attention, they’ll go in tomorrow and just vote for the bigger brand name, Obama.
GEEK/ENGINEER BUMP!
