While I’m sceptical of polling in general, The RASS poll is a rolling average. Rass himself said to wait until Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for the full effect. This Gallop poll is not constructed from a rolling average so the effects likely show up sooner.

If we're comparing a rolling average against a spot check, then that would make some difference. I agree with that. However, I think McCain will end up show a lead of about +2, and that will equal a campaign counter-bounce of 10 points (given McCain's 2 point lead going into the Dem convention.)

I'd rather have a 2 pt lead than a 2 pt deficit, but it also means, "Don't get complacent."

It's time to work, work, work. This nation can't afford ZerObama as president.
