Let's take a look at some of those questions, they 'build' the ratings on. In short, if one question / idea comes out a little off or if one thing happens, to move the understanding of one idea, the entire thing changes.
Again, they do not ask the most basic question, over and over: Now, who are you planing on voting for? Which is the only poll question that makes a difference.
Let's see:
?Obama eliminated McCain's advantage as "a strong and decisive leader." By 46%-44%, those surveyed says that characteristic applies more to Obama than McCain. Before the convention, McCain held an 8-point advantage. Obama has a 13-point advantage as someone who "shares your values," almost double the edge he held before. He has an 8-point advantage as someone who is "honest and trustworthy"; pre-convention, they were equal.
Wow, ratings based on "honest and trustworthy" and "shares your values" - Election is over!
And more:
? Obama has eased concerns about experience, but they remain a significant factor. Fifty percent of those surveyed say they are very or somewhat concerned about his experience. Before the convention, 57% were.
? McCain's favorable-unfavorable rating was 54%-38%, a healthy mark but his highest unfavorable this year. Obama's rating was 61%-32%.
In the poll, Democrats continue to benefit from an "enthusiasm gap." By 57%-28%, Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents say they are more enthusiastic than usual this year. By 47%-39%, Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say they are less enthusiastic than usual.
The poll of 2,035 adults has a margin of error of +/?2 percentage points. The sample of 1,835 registered voters has an error margin of +/?3 points.
Make sure you read through that to see all the odd and stupid questions they ask to build the polls with.
Just the idea that these stats are allowed with 2035 votes, from prob Colorado, it's just trash data to feed you people trash information.
Obama is killing McCain, straight up he has already left the gate and won the race.
