09/30/08 ABC News/Washington Post Poll Obama 50 McCain 46

[Ty440]

Mac is closing the gap somewhat , down  52-43 last week

Obama gets 95% of blacks

Mccain up by 11% among white women

That seems very accurate and probably is what the exit polls will look like on election day

[Keystone Phil]

I'll gladly take it right now.

[Eraserhead]

It bothers me a little that they say "Mac is gaining ground", when it was pretty obvious that the last poll was an outlier at the time.

[Sam Spade]

Too bad they didn't provide us the party ID yet.  

I think I know where this race is right now, but I want to give it a couple of days before I open my trap.  Probably will do it before the debates.

Such is the spin game.

I find it annoying too, on both sides.

Obama lead collapsing, Married Women abandoning the Democrats, McCain within Margin of Error of Obama...

That would be spin..

Saying the polling results are somewhat closer but the change is within the MOE is, well, fact actually.

*Mac is gaining ground* is about as much spin as ABC/WaPo will give the Republicans.  You know that. 

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I'll take this result from these guys, but I don't trust their numbers. It may generate some positive press.
