In five days he goes from dead even to a double digit lead? Preposterous. Pollsters have given McCain incremental gains but they award Obama stupendous increases in popular backing? That's not a scientific judgment - by any standard.

I have noticed a problem with Gallup before. They take a trend to its extreme. Once they see a trend they give the guy a 5 day booster of increases. They’ve done it to McCain a time or two and Obama several times. These last 4 days are a perfect example. Does anyone honestly believe Obama was gaining every single day? I don’t.
