IIRC, they don't poll cell phone users, only landlines, which gives them a fairly conservative lean. But in the last election, a lot of "undecideds" were really just McCain voters who didn't want to seem uncool, and it balanced out.

 

Hysterical, in that it recalls the greatest such fiasco of them all . . . the 1936 Literary Digest poll, which figuratively handed the election to Landon over Roosevelt . . . the LD actually only surveyed people with a phone in their homes -- and if you were relatively well-off enough to have a phone in your home in '36, there was a decent chance you leaned GOP. The result essentially destroyed the LD as a viable publication, and it folded, soon after.

 

Gallup's new daily tracking poll is out. They have Romney up by 1%.

 

The SportsJournalists.com poll has Obama up by 86 percent.
