The last time this poll was taken they were tied 46% to 46%

isn't this the part where sammitch comes in and declares that the poll was taken out of context?

...not a single other poll has Obama up by anything more than six. That's quite the outlier. ...

plus so many things can happen from now until November that quite honestly it doesn't mean diddly.

Yeah....


And, as predicted:

  • People with a crush on Barack Obama aren't as numerous as they used to be.

    Republican John McCain has pulled up into a statistical dead heat with Democrat Obama, according to a new Newsweek poll. Obama leads McCain 44% to 41%, compared with the cushy 15% advantage he held in the magazine's June survey.

    More than half surveyed - 53% - now say Obama has changed his stance on key policy issues "to gain political advantage," while 32% say he has not. By comparison, McCain may be gaining ground. Among independents, McCain now leads Obama 41% to 34%. Last month with the same group, Obama was ahead 48% to 36%.
