Not that I’ve ever put much stock in polls, but some of you simply require them to be the center-point of your argument — as if the sheer popularity of a candidate disproves all his negatives. For you, I present this:
RCP Average on 10/14/08: Obama 50.2, McCain 42
RCP Average on 10/20/08: Obama 48.8, McCain 44
Only 6 days ago, Obama was up 8.2 points. His lead has since dropped by 3.4 points, putting him at a 4.8 point lead.
Not that I care about polls.
