Inside Gallup's Latest Numbers

One chart stands out. The defection of conservative democrats is the most dramatic change in all of the polling demographics. The analyst at Gallup, Lydia Saad, couldn't find an ideological basis for the shift and insinuated that the polling bounce from McCain would be temporary. I'm not so sure. I think that people are finally focusing on the candidates and that has always been bad news for Obama. Conservative democrats should find a lot to like in McCain and I think this polling data confirms that.
