Read post #8.

Gallup has a history of this type of activity this year. The polls don't flip flop like john kerry- A kerry surge on the weekend and bush regaining ground during the week.

THE ONLY CAUSE IS BAD SAMPLING COMBINED WITH BAD POLLING.

PERIOD!!!

yes, I agree with the weekend polling hazard that favors democrats, but this is just too much. People see these polls, and wonder why they are suddenly all tied. I have no faith in any of these polls during THIS presidential race. I do not believe we are getting a fair shake as far as sampling is concerned. Furthermore, how the hell do you get from being up 8 in florida to being down 4? And up in Pennsylvania? It really is Halloween, methinks. This is just making News for the MSM to report on.

Okay look. What happened to everybody's theory of wait until the last weekend...they will have to start showing a bigger Bush lead for the sake of their integrity.

I understand the weekend phenom, but how far off can it be this close to the election. I would guess 2 more points in Dubya's favor, but yesterday I would ahve said Bush was 4-6 points ahead.

Today I think it is just 2 points.

That is not a very good lead for an incumbent.
