Yeah, this is allocation of undecideds.

I lean towards the Tarrance projection.

of course you do

I've been consistent on this point for the month and a half since I returned to the forum.  I think it's an Obama win but closer than the polls suggest.

Well...one question then (especially to Sam)

Considering how accurate this poll has been in the past...why the heck have we been paying attention to Rasmussen and Gallup the entire election cycle?

I mean...a win's a win, I guess....so I'm not too worried about that.....but I'm just wondering if you have reason to expect a higher margin than Battleground suggests?

Rasmussen is solid.  I was inclined to follow Gallup, but it started going all over the place, so I wrote it off.

I'm basically following Rasmussen, Battleground, and TIPP, tho TIPP lost me with their 4:1 break for Obama call on the undecideds.  I keep an eye on the others for trending only.  I keep an eye on Zogby for comedy.
