Exactly right. The margin of error means any poll results could randomly fall within a range of values. If reality was a 50%-50% split with plus or minus 5%, either party's poll numbers could randomly fall between 45% and 55%. One day could be 53%-47% and the next day could be 47%-53%. It would show a 6% swing even though nothing's changed.
