It's Obama's best lead in this poll in a week.

He's +1 (was 47 yesterday), while McCain stayed the same.

1. Sweet

2. Not only that, the 47.7% is the highest for Obama ever in that poll

5. I think Obama will regain his footing in most tracking polls by mid-week.

He'll push his lead up to 7 or 8 points heading into the weekend.

3. This is the poll that the Freepers have been hanging their hat on.. now they'll switch to Gallup LV1

4. Actually, McCain was -0.5, Obama was +0.7

Better than a sharp stick in the eye, I was hoping this lame right-wing poll would start to go back up.

6. Even better! :)

12. Yes, I thought you'd like my "correction"

:D

7. IBD, slightly right of Attila

This is encouraging indeed. I think landslide is becoming a real possibility.

8. Ha! Is this the poll that had Obama up by one a few days ago.

The race is solidifying to 4 to 8, or mostly 5 to 7% Its stable.

10. Yes.

This was used by the Republicans, especially Drudge, as evidence the race was shifting McCain's way.

9. This poll only gives Obama 58% of the Jewish vote. I don't believe that. n/t

11. Good. Everything keeps balancing out, at the end of the day.

13. Obama's RCP average has moved from 6.8 to 7 because of this poll
