You oughta not get so caught up in the ups and downs of polls.  It isn't really representative of anything at this point, as either Clinton OR Obama is going to beat McCain - once they are the nominee, support will solidify behind them.

I love it how last time Obama was winning that by 5% every here said taht it did nto matter that far from the election.

I hope Edwards endorses Hillary.
According to surrogates he thinks Obama is too inexperienced to be president.

Plus -Obama's campaign conducted the most divisive campaign against Edwards - with Obama followers spreading the rumor all over the country that Elizabeth was dying.
And prior to SC, Edwards spoke out in defense of the Clintons over accusations by Obama surrogates and followers that they were racists.
Of course, this resulted in Kos calling Edwards an "ass."

And during the SC debate - Obama's racial slur toward Edwards was despicable!

Obama's documented divisiveness and race-baiting surpasses his "hope" mantra.

>>>Most voters, 56%, said Wright's comments made them less likely to vote for Obama. That figure includes 44% of Democrats. Just 11% of voters say they are more likely to vote for Obama because of Wright's comments.

However, among African-Americans, 29% said Wright's comments made them more likely to support Obama. Just 18% said the opposite while 50% said Wright's comments would have no impact.

It's too bad the media didn't cover this thing objectively, it's sad that it's taken a scandal to bring his polls lower, when he could have stayed a great candidate who wasn't quite ready. I want Hillary to win cause she'll do the best job, not because the media now turns on him because they didn't do their jobs in the first place.  Of course his poll numbers will go down, but it'll all be attributed to the scandal and not to her exit Iraq speech, which should be plenty to show there are real differences in preparedness, which is all that should matter. I like Obama, and understand his ambition, why not, but for heaven's sake, that it has to end this way is unpleasant.  

Survey USA (which seems like the most accurate polling outfit so far) has had Obama up against McCain by a higher margin for a longer period of time.  All by itself, this is not that significant, especially when it's within the margin of error and could easily be affected by random polling noise.

What matters is trends, and Obama is trending slightly higher than Clinton in general.
There's a long way until November, however, and at this point your guess is as good as mine.

I guess were doomed then because Hillary's obviously not electable, and if Wright renders Obama unelectable, we should probably write off the presidency and start focusing time and money on the congressional races, and planning for 2012. (I'm not saying give up, I mean Hillary has a shot to do at least as well as Carter did vs. Reagan, I just don't find that too re-assuring).

I think McCain will win in a landslide.  The focus is now to contain his his coattails.

The problem is we're going to fall so far behind McCain, by the time we "unify," it'll be too late.

I think we've been seeing Obama's electability wither before our eyes since the weekend. It will be interesting to see the tracking polls later this week to see the Hillary/McCain and Obama/McCain match ups.
