No, it’s a step up on the alternative.
I’ll never, ever, hold my nose to vote again. Ever.
Sounds like a tagline.

Don't you mean Obama voter instead of hobo?
Quick recognition.

Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and cellular phones, with interviews conducted in Spanish for respondents who are primarily Spanish-speaking. Each daily sample includes a minimum quota of 150 cell phone respondents and 850 landline respondents, with additional minimum quotas among landline respondents for gender within region. Landline respondents are chosen at random within each household on the basis of which member had the most recent birthday.
Samples are weighted by gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, adults in the household, cell phone-only status, cell phone-mostly status, and phone lines. Demographic weighting targets are based on the March 2009 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older non-institutionalized population living in U.S. telephone households. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting and sample design.
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.
When people mention peaking too soon, I like to remind them that a large percentage (not sure the exact percentage) of people vote absentee, often weeks before election day. So it’s not like you want to peak right on election day.
At least I don’t think you do.
Gallup had another poll like this in June/July, IIRC. It was “off” with the other polls then, too.
If they are trying to manipulate the public, again...they are doing a poor job of it.
In ‘94, the generic ballot was tied, and just look what happened!
I’ll take a “tie” any day...
