REGISTERED VOTERS. What are the internals? 52% Dem, 36% Rep, 12% other like in the last poll I saw with Obama ahead by 6 points? (Seriously, not kidding. They polled almost 50% more Dems than Reps and still got the Obamanation up by only 6%.)

This is Gallup? Polling like this really shows Obama getting trounced.

Hey piytar, I'm not sure where you got your info, but Gallup mentioned nothing about your stats in their Survey Methods for this poll:

Survey Methods

For the Gallup Poll Daily tracking survey, Gallup is interviewing no fewer than 1,000 U.S. adults nationwide each day during 2008.

The general-election results are based on combined data from August 6-8, 2008. For results based on this sample of 2,686 registered voters, the maximum margin of sampling error is ±2 percentage points.

Interviews are conducted with respondents on land-line telephones (for respondents with a land-line telephone) and cellular phones (for respondents who are cell-phone only).

In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the findings of public opinion polls.
