Headline from WaPo for Monday's
edition:
Obama Up by 10 Points as McCain Favorability Ratings Fall
Explanation of poll (emphasis added):
..according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll... The poll was conducted after Tuesday night's debate,
Headline on Drudge Report Sunday night:
GALLUP DAILY: Obama-McCain Gap Narrows...ZOGBY MONDAY: OBAMA 48%, MCCAIN 44%... DEVELOPING...RASMUSSEN MONDAY: OBAMA 50%, MCCAIN 45%... DEVELOPING...
Are we to assume a poll taken Tuesday night and advertised as "new" the following Monday is more accurate than fresh polls taken over the weekend? If not, then shall we assume the WaPo headlined this old poll knowing that fresh polls were showing a general tightening in an effort to take the wind out of those sails? Just asking.
