When Daily Kos own poll is closer to reality that Gallup, that says it all. If Obama was a landslide winner, he'd be traveling outside battleground states to assist Democratic congressional and senate candidates. He'd be campaigning in TX and AZ. He hasn't done that. I trust Daily Kos own poll now more than I do Gallup's final poll.

Research 2000 is not really Dailykos’ poll. They are an independent polling firm, not affiliated with a party (like, say, Strategic Vision (R) or Democracy Corps (D) ) They have been around for some time now and were a pretty reliable state pollster in 2004 and 2006, as I recall.

I assume Dailykos is paying them for polls, but I would not automatically assume that to be a taint or a reason to doubt their polling methods. Of course it COULD be, but there is really no evidence to assume such, and the way they are weighting their most recent polls, and the findings they are arriving at (like many they are converging at around 5% to 6%) tells me that they are conducting valid research without undue partisanship.
