"Obama continues to lead nationally...at 6.3%..."

[ailsagirl]

Obama Continues to Lead Nationally. The average is 6.3%.
His lead is completely stable, changing a point or two every day due to sampling error. It is noteworthy that the last time McCain led in any national poll was Sept. 25. Thus for over a month, Obama has led in every single one of the 49 national polls. Here is today's collection.

- Battleground (Obama +3)
- Diageo (Obama +8)
- Gallup expanded (Obama +10)
- IBD (Obama +3)
- Rasmussen (Obama +5)
- Research 2000 (Obama +8)
- WaPo/ABC News (Obama +7)

McCain has his work cut out for him this week. Will we see the incredible resurrection of Rev. Jeremiah Wright? McCain himself is supposedly against this although most of his base is pleading with him to bring out the big guns. He may have good reasons for this though. It's old news and Palin has an equally wacky preacher who Obama may bring up and that might get more coverage. Also, Todd Palin belonged to a political party that wants Alaska to secede from the United States. With Palin talking about the "pro-America" parts of the country, McCain probably doesn't want a national discussion this week about whether Alaska is one of those parts. So he may have a implicit understanding with Obama about keeping it a bit civil this week. Who knows? But McCain needs to do something dramatic this week.

1. National polling doesn't mean a thing

Only battleground state totals matter.

2. That number will bounce back up...

when today's PEW Poll is added to the averages.

3. Cue Republican talking points - John McCain is a fighter;

The only polls that matter are on November 4th; it's never over until it's over; Bradley Effect; October surprises; anything can happen; seven days are still a lot of time for McCain to make a final charge; you can never count McCain out . . . yadda yadda yadda.
