No idea.

I think the pollsters are colluding to generate an agreed upon result. Rush said something similar on Friday, he said not even the republican pollsters are willing to stick their neck out this time.

It seems the pollsters hace all agreed to report a tied race. Gallup being out of the picture is even more puzzling.

What happened to Gallup? Why are they out of the picture?

Right. Very odd how this played out. Now I am the furthest thing from a conspiracy theorist, but I do find it odd that the one pollster showing a strong Romney lead, which had a R+1 sample, uses the storm as an excuse to "suspend" its daily tracker. And won't post until the day before the election.

I am not expecting good news from Gallup tomorrow. Color me not shocked if Obama is +1 or so.

That way they can claim their predictions was spot on no matter what happens, if the race is really close they can say they nailed it. If one candidate breaks out and wins by a decent margin they can claim they polls had been trending toward that candidate and "the dam broke" after the last poll was released. That's why there seems to be a little "good" news for each candidate in every poll. (If Romney wins, they will say "our polls showed independents moving toward Romney" if Obama wins "he got a huge boost in approval for the hurricane response". At this point it's all a game of CYA...
