All three Gallup measures give Obama a good lead

I recently explained HERE that one of the three polling methods Gallup uses for its daily tracking polls is of questionable accuracy because it depends on an outdated model for determining which registered voters are likely to show up at ballot boxes.
This dubious method, which Gallup calls its “traditional” model, has shown only small leads for Barack Obama in recent weeks, thereby giving the Drudge Report and other anti-Obama partisans something to shout about.
Well, now the “traditional” model is producing numbers more in line with those from the other two polling models Gallup uses. Hence, Obama is now LEADING by eight, nine or 11 percentage points, depending on which Gallup tracking poll you’re reading.
The Drudge Report, true to form, is not trumpeting this latest edition of the “traditional” poll with the zeal it showed earlier in the week when the numbers were less discouraging to McCainiacs.
