#1 You know, if I was Obama and my polls showed that even with a heavy dhimocrat sampling, I was only up by 2 points... I would have kittens.

#2 That's in a poll with a 13% advantage for Dems in party identification. IIRC, the Dems have not had more than a 6% advantage in party ID on election day in twenty-five or thirty years.

#3 Having quickly scanned the pdf, this seems to be a poll not of likely voters, nor of registered voters, but of all adults. If so, this is actively BAD for Obama.

#4 Kittens hell, should be shitting porcupines after he sees himself on TV acting the total jackass. Flanked by biden and murtha, palosi asking for another random $300big. Second, buying a 30 minute infomercial and trying to bump a world series game to show it is disgusting. Third, guy should have been gonged on his NAFTA flip around "Oh don't believe it, I just said that because I am campaigning"

I'm a registered Independant. In the local there are candidates who are democrat who I will most likely vote for because they are the best for the job - I also know them to be honorable and competent unlike obama who just laughed at me.

#5 yeah it looks like more demos are voting mccain than republicans for obama, but what I find interesting is that even at this late datethere's still 14% undecided or going for a minor candidate....

#6 People who are undecided at this point just don't want to admit they're not voting PC.

Pushing back the world series is not a smart move. Obama's people bought up a bunch of adds within some videogames, that's a smart move. They should have done something similar with the world series. buy up the greenscreen space so that when cameras show the batter Obama is behind the plate but the game is not interupted.

I think his spread the wealth around comments might have hit home to a few people.

#7 When someone mentions the "undecided voter" my mind immediately defaults to........

Sir, this is Colonel Glover. I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour, sir, but we're at Q-2 status. It looks like we've found that lost consignment of Easter eggs. Yes, sir, pretty sure. They've turned up in Louisville. I'm getting confirmations on this from the Louisville Police Department. Louisville, Kentucky, sir. Well, sir, it would be good news, except that the eggs have hatched.

#9 Why aren't we cherry-picking any of the other 8 polls that came out today?

#10 Note that this poll is Oct 3-13. Before the debate and definitely before "Joe the plumber".
