Question

says they have a poll for today.

No polls came out today (as of 10:45), they just took one from yesterday and moved it to today. Does this annoy you?

Answer 1

This is from personal knowledge.  There is a poll taken EVERYDAY!  BELIEVE ME!

Answer 2

We always look at the polls that suit us. What's the score on the pollsters though? One company compaired pollster's results to actual results from concluded elections and developed an accuracy index. Rasmussen was near the top of the list for accuracy on the "Polster-Introduced Error Index while Gallop was far down the list with nearly double the error factor.

Today, Rasmussen puts McCain and Obama 4 points apart, Gallop puts them 8. That's about on track with the index.

Answer 3

It's because they replace yesterday's Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls with today's.

Answer 4

Answer 5

It only annoys you because of the 8 point lead Sen Obama has. HA HA
