But if you live by polls one day they will bite you in the ass the next day.

But I get your point.

And I do think it's ironic that he actually lost a point or two in the Gallup poll which if not the best poll is certainly the most robust one given the huge number of respondents and the resources an organization of that size can bring to the endeavor.

For the record I don't think this election will be anything but painfully close but I am encouraged and surprised by what I have seen so far.

I thought the economy would kill us. So far it hasn't.
