The Monday night sample must have been horrendous for McCain. It will roll off Friday.
Frankly, it’s even worse than one would think. Ras says August GOP representation in his sampling was up, so that means he adjusts his robot targets to keep calling until they get the desired partisan mix.
Even with that adjustment, the Monday sample resulted. I am a little fearful it’s not just normal post convention bounce. The three day average yesterday was of Monday, Sunday and Saturday nights. Friday night, the first time sampling was done after the Obama speech, rolled off.
But there has always been talk of convention bounces being delayed (though it’s never described as why).
I'm sorry, but the campaign raising $10 million in three days (over a holiday weekend) carries FAR more weight with me than some post-convention polls. Unless the election is being held this week, they simply do not matter.
