>I heard this last night. What I just found, thanks to your link, is that "likely voters" isn't people who say they plan to vote, but a more complicated measure. I suspect that in this election, it will turn out to be less meaningful than usual, as many people how are not generally likely to vote have been engaged this year.

Maybe the metric is so sophisticated that the full title of the category "people likely to vote for McCain but not sure whether they have to guts to say it aloud" had to be abbreviated?

And even among them he's only 4% ahead ;).
