    Agreed. I’m holding back to do any real analysis of this for about 10 more days.

    People love to say polls suck, they don’t mean anything, its total none-sense, etc. Interestingly its always when their candidate is losing.

    Now that these polls are shifting, my guess is the dorks who can’t tell up from down start shifting their stories, and soon after that, they’ll be pretending it was always their view.

    Polls are important, especially in terms of this far out, and especially in-terms of the ‘appearance’ of electability. These are the weeks and months where momentum builds. A sudden breakout, or sudden drop in polling numbers is extremely consequential.
