While this is nice news, this is an absolute blatant rat psyops poll. Here's my question: How is it that our fury friends a gallup can just happen to find a survey sample that produces 97% of respondents who have an opinion one way or the other? Also, if these same rat pollsters got a survey sample group that swung 8 points during a wall to wall, all lurch all of the time week,how can we even give them 5 mins. to read their BS results?

I think that, in some sense, this is an accurate snapshot. But there are ways to manufacture poll results and you have caught one: push undecideds to decide.

It is well-known that undecideds break 2-1 against the incumbent and it is clear that Gallup here wanted to favor Kerry. A charitable motivation is that they want to gin up a race where there is none. 44% Bush, 38% Kerry and 18% undecided (for example) just does not make interesting poll results.
