>>It's also important to note that Rasmussen controls for partisan breakdown in his polls.
I know that this was a problem with a couple of polls that came out immediately after the convention and which showed a big Bush bounce. Was it true of Gallup which came out a couple of days later?
I don't think we know. Gallup doesn't make their internals available. I know they don't control for partisan breakdown, but that's about all I can say for sure.
