#2 Check the sample distribution. Probably too many D not as many R as true LV pop. Especially true with Palin.

#4 They also exit polled the east coast, projecting Gore over Bush. They seriously misjudge anything west of the Beltway--I see a lot of Democratic Clinton supporters/anti-McCain voters joining the Palin bandwagon. Even Bill Clinton has voiced respect for the First Dude.

#5 Jim Geraghty at National Review said the same thing--the poll oversamples Dems. Even Obama's campaign doesn't believe it.

#6 It's only mid-September. We've 1.5 months left to Election Day -- for some countries that's the entire time span they have to campaign. Remember when Candidate Obama was tootling triumphantly around Europe, while Candidate McCain drew crowds of 2,000 for town hall meetings?

#8 BO up by + 9 represents "wishful thinking" by ABC/WaPo--one of those many fake polls out there who might believe anything.
