HGS Daily Tracking Poll Average (Average of Zogby, Rasmussen, ABC/WP, and TIPP Daily Polls):
Bush: 48.4%(+0.1 from yesterday)
Kerry: 46.0%(+0.6% from yesterday)
Normally, I wouldn't go into the individual poll numbers that make up the daily average, but today it seems particularly important to explain a possible anomoly. The TIPP poll today has Bush up by six. Zogby has Bush up by 2. ABC/Washington Post has Bush up 1, and the Rasmussen poll shows a tie. The average is thrown off by the TIPP poll, which unlike all the other polls show Bush increasing his lead instead of the race tightening. We'll have to wait a couple of days to see if the TIPP poll corrects itself.
