Folks.....the polls are conflicting enough....let's wait for some more.
Frankly, I would think if this was accurate, Rass would show that trend....instead, the trend has been for Bush to gain in Rass with Dem-skewed internals.
I don't trust Rass much for daily results, but generally you can catch the trend.
The other polls do not show Kerry gaining votes from the debates.
Even though this is a Gallup poll and I trust Gallup a lot....we need to wait on this one and not go insane yet. It just doesn't jive with other polls. How can they show maybe a 1 point bounce for Kerry in terms of people voting for him and Gallup gets rid of almost a 10-point lead for Bush.....this just makes no sense.
I think this may be one of the few times that Gallup is wrong. If it is right though, it is time to pray.
It is hard to believe there was such a huge shift in less than a week. Gallup had Bush up 52-43 as of Sept 26. Other polls (besides Newsweek!) showed less of a change. I think perhaps Gallup is wrong. Or maybe they have tried to move a bit to the left to counter criticism they were favoring the GOP too much?
That 100% number is very unusual too. There are always some undecideds. Are we sure this is even official? I don't see any mention of it on Gallup's site, nor on CNN.com or USAToday.
