I've noticed something interesting. If you ignore the bouncy, unreliable (and useless, to boot) national polls, along with overlooking all the GOP astroturf fly by night polls, this race is miraculously stable. Obama's firewall in the states that matter is maintained and only GOP pollsters are saying otherwise. If you have questions about my methods, this diary should answer them. These are a list of polls I do not include:
1) Polls affiliated with the GOP (ex: Rasmussen, We Ask America, Susquehanna)
2) Polls with little to no track record (ex: Gravis Marketing)
3) Polls with a bad track record (ex: ARG, Zogby)
4) Internet polls (ex: Zogby Interactive, YouGov)
5) Internal polls
