In it Gallup says the Republican National Convention produced a +5 Republican partisan id shift, yet the state by state polls you have done show only a one point shift. Is it possible that the shift Gallup is finding is based primarily in already hardcore red states (Utah, Wy, etc.,) and thus you may be missing it by looking at your polls of the battleground states? I'm just curious if there is any real theory out there about dramatic and sizeable shifts in party id because of a party's convention. Has anyone seen such a thing before? If so, are the changes permanent (at least until election day) or are they more likely to be transitory?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
