If you accept the current number - how can you dismiss the rest of the series?

Nobody was paying attention in December. More are paying attention now.

I don't see why you can't see that the numbers get more meaningful the closer to the election we get because more people are paying attention!

Oh but I do. I just happen to think it's dishonest to pick & choose what numbers you feel are meaningful. Once the conventions are over & there have been a debate or 2, then the numbers become a lot more meaninful. But, early trnds should not be dismissed 'out of hand'. This is especially true if the trend is going against you - it should be a call to action, not rationalized away with empty bromides.
