I think you are confusing the 7 day tracker with their 3 day tracker. They do both. The 3 day tracker was 47-47. The 7 day is 49-46

No, I'm not confusing them, I'm comparing them and trying to reconcile them. If you use Gallup's numbers for the 3 days before and the 3 days after the debate, then you add results for ONE more day (Oct 7th), you cannot come up with their rolloing average of 50-45 unless on Oct 7th the daily result was 59-39, which makes absolutely no sense.

You are seeing why Gallup was number 18 in accuracy in 2008.
