Gallup: Obama up by 8 points after debate

Look's like Palin's smile and script read answers didn't help much.

"Three day rolling average" . . . look that up.

For some recent historical perspective on this, Gallup had a TIE four years ago:

But there's a reason they haven't switched to "likely voters" this time. Gallup does not norm for party affiliation. Often, they don’t even ask the question. They sample randomly and norm for census demographics only.

*cough* cooked *cough*

Friday polls are always worthless, they want to keep the Messiah at 50 + for obvious reasons. And they can't poll the Bradley Effect.

What I don't understand is why so many polls change their methods to favor one party over the other. I don't see what they get from it.
