Reply #34: Even if there were a polling drop [View All]

corresponding to a time period it'd be hard to impossible to dissociate it from other potential effects that occured during the same time period (mccains better attempts of dissociation from bush, effects from 3rd debate of airing of various Obama smears for the first time to such a large audience at one time) There are many other factors you'd have to control for but can't (or that I haven't seen a way of doing at least). Hence why I like to couch my words in cases like these.
