If we’re down 5, we’re down in the electoral college. It’s that simple

Is down 5 in the Gallup daily track the same as tied in the Rasmussen daily track? Who do you choose to believe? The poll that looks worse or the poll that looks better?

Tony- very simple... This thread is about Gallup. In response to Gallup, the poster said, who cares, it's the states that matter (I'm paraphrasing)... All I said was, IF Gallup is right and we're down by 5, then we're behind in the electoral college, so the states don't really matter at that point, cause on election day, there's NO way we could lose the popular vote by 5 and win the election

As for polling outfits, I think Ras and Gallup are equally good. Ras has come a long way since his "PortraitofAmerica" poll bombed in '00 by predicting an 8 point win for Bush... That essentially shut down that site.

The best polling outfit, IMHO, is Battleground, and they're flat (JM was up 2 yesterday, up 6 a couple of days ago, in an unaided ballot)...

So... I'd say ZeroHussein is up by 1 or 2 right now..

Does that clarify my view?
