1. There's Something Really Embarrassing In The Democracy Corps Poll
When you add defintely McCain and leans McCain it adds up to 43 not 44...

2. Do they show the fraction?
It could be a fractional rounding issue.

4. Lots of rounding in research if you see no decimals.

6. If RCP gets the data with decimals and they get a
1.3 and 1.3 both would be rounded down to a 1.

But if you add them together they would be a 2.6 and rounded to a 3.
