I try not to do a lot of blogging about polls because, well, polls are weird. Take today. The USA Today/Gallup poll shows McCain ahead by five among likely voters (though he's trailing among "registered" voters). Meanwhile, the Gallup -- not USA Today/Gallup, just Gallup -- tracking poll has Obama ahead by eight. An Economist/YouGov poll has Obama ahead by three while a Research 2000 poll shows Obama opening up a 12 point lead. And the Pollster.com aggregate polling chart show everything is stable.
Put another way, there are too many polls showing too much noise and we're too far from the VP selections, conventions, debates, and actual voting for them to mean anything. All these polls were a big topic of discussion in the MSNBC green room a few hours ago but so far as I can tell, none of them matter, or tell us anything on their lonesome.
