3rd wave of YouGov/CBS/NYT Governor polls

[IceSpear]

Brownback lead confirmed. I'll now accept my accolades.

Yes, among the same exact group of respondents each month, Brownback has sunk from a 12 point lead in July, to a 7 point lead in August, and now only 3 point lead in September. Brownbackmentum!

Since YouGov uses the same group of respondents in every poll, it's worth keeping track of the margin changes to determine any possible "momentum":

This information is more useful than the actual topline numbers considering YouGov's methodology. I still don't give them any credence though.
