So I guess Gallup is on the Republican pollster conspiracy against Obama? Of course as soon as PPP shows Obama ahead it will be completely legit, with no mention of the fact that it is a democratic polling firm.

Anyway, fantastic news. I feel like dancing.

Just to keep it interesting... here's the latest CNN poll:
Obama 52
Romney 43

Crap poll. CNN hasn't exactly been the gold standard in national polling.

Rasmussen:
Romney 47%
Obama 43%

Gallup:
Romney 48%
Obama 44%

These polls are obviously wrong. Dailykos & PPP are much more trustworthy and unbiased.

Well, Rasmussen's final tracking poll from last time was Obama 52/McCain 46, so excuse me if I don't completely discount them.

Gallup:

Obama 43%

At least Romney's holding the same amount of support McCain got last election, if it moves below that we might be in trouble.

Suddenly Rasmussen is a credible pollster again. Amazing.

Ok, so if Rasmussen and Gallup are both crap (which would also screw up the average) what polls am I supposed to follow the race with?!?

Why is Gallup using registered voters? Makes no sense to me.

If Gallup is going to continue using RV it's time to discount them.

But it's RV. It would nice to know what the numbers are for those who are actually planning on voting.

RV=FAIL. Hopefully the Obama bounce is real though.

Looking like Obama might hit 50.

I think Bush's lead continued to grow after the convention but Bush almost ruined it all with that first debate. I don't think Obama is likely to do the same.

Too bad PPP doesn't do national tracking. We could use some clarity, and I doubt they'd still be polling RV.

So, considering this, the PPP poll looks pretty accurate, and vice versa.

Has there been one credible poll that shows the race has shifted in Romney's favor? I don't think it's changed dramatically at all.
