National Polls
There are ten national polls to report today! Obama leads them all. Here they are.

- Battleground (Obama +2)
- CBS (Obama +9)
- Diageo (Obama +5)
- Gallup (Obama +4)
- GfK/Roper (Obama +7)
- Ipsos (Obama +3)
- Opinion Research (Obama +7)
- Pew (Obama +6)
- Rasmussen (Obama +6)
- Research 2000 (Obama +10)

The mean is an Obama lead of 5.9%. With so many polls pointing in the same direction, there can be no doubt that Obama is ahead right now. Chances are the first debate and the financial meltdown caused people to get a more positive impression of him or a more negative impression of McCain. The state polls below give the same impression: Obama is starting to break away. McCain has to stop this movement very fast. Probably the only thing he can do is go very negative very fast, trying to tie Obama to Rev. Wright, Tony Rezko, and Bill Ayers. The danger is that either Obama or Democratic 527s will start running ads accusing McCain of taking bribes from convicted felon Charles Keating or start bringing up McCain's age and health (malignant melanoma four times). It won't be pretty. Brace yourself (or just turn off your TV set until election night--you can watch the debates on YouTube). SNIP

2. I have predicted 333 for Obama and he will be projected US President 11/4/08 11:00 PM

with California putting him over the top.

I am happy with the polls but we need to continue working hard as if he is 10 points behind. I live in CT, which is deep blue so I will be going to New Hampshire to help out with GOTV

3. For those who were worried about the Battleground Poll...

even they have Obama up 5 now.

So his lead seems to be 5-7 points nationally.

4. I shudder to see the political ads getting worse here in Wisconsin.

It's getting to the point where there are political ads with some programming thrown in for entertainment.
