I wouldn't say they "don't count", but I think it is of dubious value to take all these polls with different methodologies and average them together to somehow think you have a better picture of the situation.

The Gallup "expanded" method, in particular, where Obama has the bigger lead, ignores the voting history of respondents and bases their status on solely their statements as to whether they intend to vote. While this MAY get to a better result, I have doubts about the methodology.

And these don't count because?

Gallup Tracking (Expanded)* 10/11 - 10/13 2289 LV 53 43 Obama +10
GW/Battleground Tracking 10/08 - 10/13 800 LV 53 40 Obama +13

Any poll that shows Obama too far ahead is not legitimate. It means that some liberal got his/her hands into it.
