You guys are all being extremely foolish about this.


In a race this close, 2 and 3 points toward a single candidate (across multiple polling firms) is as much "movement" as we are going to get from this race for a while. Which I beleive I said just yesterday.


Either pay attention to what I say 100% or don't criticize what I say.

Movement, at least when I use the word, implies a substantial shift in support. Adding or subtracting one or two points is not significant movement.

The movements haven't been of one point.

2% or greater is "movement" in my book.

2% would fall under the margin of error for most polls which means, for all we know, that there wasn't any movement at all. In other words, it doesn't make sense to put too much stock in that kind of movement even if you see it in a few different polls.
