But it’s going by a 3 day rolling average, that big Thursday # came off so for Obama to still be ahead by 6, he jumped 10 points today assuming the estimates are right =P
Doug Wilder was up by 20 points in Va won by 1. People lie to pollsters. Hillary did better than the polls said.
What it shows was that Obama’s speech on Thursday night (which would not have reflected in Gallup polling until Sat morning) didn’t help him at all. Obama received a bump previously in the convention (according to Gallup) and is now losing it. This is probably because of Palin.
That Thursday # is still there.
Just go to the Gallup site and look at the rolling averager. Obama peaked on the 28th and has been even to down since.
Unless I'm mistaken, Thursday's results will not roll off until tomorrow - today's average shows results from Thursday, Friday and Saturday. If I'm correct, tomorrow should show a drastic closing of the race.
