Interesting that you can gauge all these polls simply by partisan breakdown and a seven to eight point spread between Dems and GOP gives you a push mostly.

Bleh. I remember reading polls with wishful thinking in 2004 and don't have the stomach or desire to do it again this year.

They need to switch the independent and republican % around. I doubt democrats have a 10 point party advantage currently.

Another tracking poll to add to the list. The breakdowns are especially helpful, although I would have to agree with one of the above posters; the party ID breakdowns are a bit generous to the Democrats.

Dems have a 10% or 11% party ID advantage nationally right now, so this is right in line.

That is odd, but their numbers do seem reasonable. They just gave McCain a 17 point lead in North Carolina.

No way there is a 10 point disparity in party ID.  Perhaps there is a 7-9 point margin in the 'generic D vs R ballot for congress' but actual party ID is more like Dem + 4-6.

I am guessing it is about 7 and will be about 4 or 5 by election day. This will be enough to give Obama a 2 or 3 point victory.

They did. Not too sure about it now. This is from gallup:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/110215/GOP-Increase-Party-After-Convention-Unusual.aspx

Seemingly, cut the Democratic advantage in half. Perhaps former Republicans are coming home now that McCain is "leading" the party. Either that or Saintly Sarah has 'em swooning

My opinion? Well, she's the Republican presidential nominee ... vice-presidential nominee rather, who thinks she is above scrutiny and beyond repproach, well, because she's a woman

And what about the IA tracking poll?

Rasmussen-world, although that was pre-conventions.

If we're stickying Diageo, we should sticky this one.

Actually, in the 15,000 interviews conducted by Rasmussen in August 2008, the partisan ID gap had shrunk to 5.7%

The 10% or so gaps showing in the summer were in some ways artificial and a consequence of the historic and dramatic Obama/Clinton primary battle.

Interestingly, Rasmussen has noted in his data so far in September that the partisan gap has shrunk substantially again in September (possibly as the result of the Palin pick)

I do not believe that your statement about a 10% democratic advantage in partisan ID is supported by current polling.

Noticed their slightly oddish regional definitions (OK, TX and CO in the Midwest? Huh?), calculated 2004 results by these regions:

Northeast Kerry 55.5 Bush 43.4
South        Bush 55.9 Kerry 43.3
Midwest    Bush 53.2 Kerry 46.0
West         Kerry 50.1 Bush 48.5

Compared to their polling (and I do note this is at the Obaman end of current polling) of
Northeast Obama 55 McCain 37
South        McCain 54 Obama 38
Midwest    Obama 50 McCain 43
West         Obama 48 McCain 44

Just for jokes' sake, applying an intra-regional uniform swing would cause Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, Colorado, and New Mexico (but not Nevada. Just barely not.) to flip.

Hm. Probably just too few Texans in that Midwest sample.
