Gallup is measuring rvs. Pew is measuring rvs and lvs. But Pew is showing a tie among rvs while Gallup is showing a five point lead among rvs. That's a significant difference.

Since Sunday made up such a small part of Pew's sample is it reasonable to assume they captured Romney's bounce but not his ebb.
