1. Where were the polls in previous elections at this time?

How can we find that out?

6. the Gallup TRACKER is new...

...but Charles Franklin has a really useful mashup of all polls for the last three elections -- several days out of date now.

2. This is good, but needs 3 more points before we can breathe easy. (nt)

4. I won't breathe easy until Obama is elected AND sworn in. n/t

5. We need at least a three point cushion above the margin of error and Bradley effect

Anybody know how much that is supposed to be?

I want such a strong cushion that the repug bastards can't steal the election without worrying about riots breaking out all over the country!

8. The "Bradley Factor" is supposed to be 4% n/t

9. Thanks! So, is ten points doable?

7. Likin' it

Zogby was lagging a bit the past few days.

10. Weird how it goes apart and converges, goes apart and converges

But this time the convergence is not equal, as it was at 46. I expect it to go apart and up again once it accounts for Phailin's idiocy at the debate.
