One week ago the Gallup Poll measured the largest lead it ever recorded in the general ballot question ("If you had to vote today for a generic Democrat or a generic Republican, who would you vote for?). Republicans had a ten point lead: 51% to 41%.
Now each party is tied at 46%. What gives? Are people really confused about which party they will support? Is it a reflection of Obama coming out of how shell and starting to campaign? Or is the poll simply in error?
