Another slight drop from yesterday. May be the last reliable poll from Rand in light of Sandy.

I wonder how people can vote without power.

(26,044 posts)Gallup and IBD/TIPP both suspended their polling yesterday, and I bet neither will poll today, either. With trackers, a "hole in the middle" pretty much defeats the purpose. I wouldn't be surprised to see them drop out entirely. Besides, it makes a perfect excuse for bad results: "Our poll was accurate -- unfortunately, we had to stop due to Sandy, and thus missed the huge voter shift in the final week.".
As to today's poll: I'll take a +5.01 any day...and especially with only one week left to go.

(38 posts)Sandy will be the big sory for most of this week anyway, and polling at this point won't matter. Romney can not change the inevitble.
