Don't sweat Rasmussen, it'll narrow starting tomorrow.
It was a tossup for five days before the polling on 9/11.

Then, McCain vaulted ahead by 3 points (8-10 aggregate points over three days). And that's where it's stayed.

What does that tell us? That he had a BIG night polling on that night. That result is part of the sample for Friday (McCain +3), Saturday (McCain +3), and today (McCain +3).

It drops out tomorrow, and you'll see McCain up by 0-2.

1. I don't think so. McCain
usually polls higher on weekends for some reason.

2. He didn't poll higher on Friday or Saturday than he did
on Tuesday or Wednesday.

swing our way it won't win us the election. They are just going to irritate us because I believe they will go up and down one way or the other. We need to concentrate on getting voter registration done by the deadlines and being on the look out for election fraud and fighting it. If the polls don't have Obama up in a few days so what the important thing will be proving them wrong.
