Gallup calls landlines and cell phones. Rasmussen is a robocaller who only calls landlines. There are two or three internet trackers... And there are sporadically released traditional polls (conducted over s set period of time). There must be near a dozen taken in the last four or five days. Rasmussen and Gallup were the only ones showing Obama tied or slightly behind(Rasmussen).

Plus there are dozens and dozens of swing state polls and there a solid majority show Obama in the lead.
