CNN has just released their new "poll of polls" summary, the first since last Friday. The news? Obama by four...up from Obama by three last time.
Good topline summary:
After several days of tough new ads from McCain’s campaign, the presumptive Democratic nominee holds a 4-point advantage over the presumptive Republican nominee in CNN's average of national polls, up slightly from the 3-point margin he held on Friday.
Wait a second...I thought Obama was "dropping" in the polls? Isn't the sky falling? Isn't McCain "surging"?
Again, from the CNN writeup:
"The Democrats appear to have blunted any momentum Sen. McCain gained from last week’s ad associating Sen. Obama with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton," noted CNN Senior Political Researcher Alan Silverleib. "Once again, we are seeing that Obama has a small but durable edge over McCain. It is up to McCain to find a way to change the fundamental dynamics of this campaign."
It's new meme time!
Also, Ap-Ipsos has Obama up six.
The Associated Press-Ipsos poll shows that Obama is leading his Republican rival 47 percent to 41 percent. McCain has a 10-point lead among whites and is tied with the Democrat among men, but Obama is leading by 13 points among women and has huge leads with minorities and the young.
