13. About IBD/TIPP

IBD = Investor's business daily, sort of an extremist Wall St. Journal. If you go there, they have a bunch of editorials like "Why Obama is a socialist" and "Why a war-hero like McCain is going to be our savior". Dozens of these. Bizarre that it's considered a real poll.

14. When does IBD/TIPPsy come out?

8. I think pollsters are moving to where they think the final result will be ... 6 points sounds right

I think even the R2000 folks who poll for Daily Kos are getting in the act. Pollsters are only human- they know they will be judged based on their final call. I think 5-6 points is the conventional wisdom among pollsters for an Obama win, and I expect the higher ups at many polling firms are directing their calls to achieve that result.

9. Well, looks like Battleground wants to still be considered a legitimate poll

6 points!

10. All the shill polls are "correcting" themselves at the end

Funny how that happens.
