Most tracking polls are 3 day rolling averages.

Gallup has a 7 day tracking poll. However over the last few weeks, nothing has moved the numbers in any direction.

I think the days of 7-12 point swings off of conventions are gone forever. A good solid 2-3 point advantage by the middle of next week is what we can realistically hope for.
