Time Poll Report On Tire Swing

avatar

The headline of Time magazine's latest poll results reads: "Poll: Obama Gains in States That Went for Bush". The poll was taken immediately after the Vice-Presidential debate, and since Obama gained ground on McCain, the led in the story helpfully explains that this is "a sign that last week's vice-presidential debate had little effect on voter opinion."

Wha, wha, what?

When the polls increase in one tickets favor doesn't that mean the voters like them better? When one side scores more points than the other isn't that a sign they are winning?

I know these guys thought Palin did a bang-up job last week--gave them star bursts in their pants and all that--but don't these polls show that they were just wrong?
